- Saline solution filled implants
- Polypropylene string or soy oil filled implants
These implant devices look as spherical mode, hemispheric model and triangular curve shaped model. These are technically superior implants. So, wrinkling is not visible over the skin envelope. Movement of fluid or rippling is not visible. However, they can be noticeable immediately. Such devices are suitable for post mastectomy conditions and so are advised then. It is also good for the women candidates, who consist very small or very less tissue of breast.
These implant devices are in the shapes of hemispheric model and spherical model. The implants are first inserted and then get filled. So, insertion needs only smaller incisions. The result will be of good shape and texture resulting in good feel. The final look will be realistic, when compared to the other implant devices, such as silicone gel implants. In case, these implants start leaking, the fluid that is leaked can be absorbed by the human body. Then the fluid excreted as normal, so there will be no damage experienced by the body.
