Best Breast Augmentation Surgeon In Toronto

Do you want help selecting the most natural-looking breast implants in Toronto? There have been impressive advancements in both the safety and engineering of these devices over the past decade. Many breast augmentation patients ask whether saline or silicone gel implants look the most natural in 2022. Today you have the best of both types to choose from, and Sovereign Cosmetic Surgery is here to guide you.

You may be old enough to remember that silicone-filled implants were discontinued back in 1992 due to safety concerns. These were an old, liquid-filled type that presented a rupture risk. For roughly a decade, only saline breast implants were available for augmentation, so patients in the 90s and early 2000s received saline (salt water) implants.

The world’s leading breast implant manufacturers such as Allergan and Mentor reimagined, rigorously tested, and verified the resilience of their new cohesive silicone gel implants to bring them back to market.

Silicone gel implants approved for use in Canada and the U.S. are now semi-solid, not liquid, and feel similar to gummy bears (hence their nickname). Their safety track record and resistance to rupture are remarkable.

Are There Advantages to Choosing Saline Breast Implants?

Unlike silicone implants, which are pre-filled with cohesive gel, saline implants resemble a silicone balloon that is filled with sterile saltwater once they are situated in the breast.

Silicone is a popular choice, because its gel has similar density and movement to real breast tissue. Comparatively, saline implants are sometimes described as feeling “watery” or “rippled.” However, it is important to note that the pre-existing breast tissue, fat, and skin on your breasts will impact how any implant looks and feels. Placement partway under the chest muscle can also help camouflage breast implants and make them appear more naturally sloped at the top.

Silicone is a patient-favourite thanks to its more realistic feel and great safety record. However, you may feel that saline is right for you. One advantage is the incredibly small incision, which can be used to insert saline implants. Because silicone breast implants are filled once they are already in the breast, some plastic surgeons even insert them through the armpit. These implants also tend to be available at a slightly lower price point.

Saline breast implants have a marginally higher rupture rate, but in the rare event that a rupture occurs, saltwater is absorbed by the body harmlessly.

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure to enhance one’s breasts. Both silicone and saline breast implants are available to enlarge breast size. Implants can be placed in a variety of positions via a variety of approaches. Implants can be placed in a submuscular or subglandular/subfascial pocket. A submuscular pocket means that the implant is placed beneath breast tissue and chest musculature; a subglandular or subfascial pocket means the implant is placed beneath one’s breast tissue but above the level of the chest wall muscles.

During your consultation, Dr. Robey will work with you to help pick out the implants that will match your body frame and preferences. Chest measurements will be taken to figure out which implants would be an ideal fit for you. “Trying on” various implants inside your bra can help determine what sized implants you would benefit from.

Breast Augmentation – Enhancing with Body-Fat

Fat grafting has increased in popularity for many reasons in the field of breast enhancing. Liposuction of the donor areas can shape the donor areas and provide grafting material to enhance breast shape and size. Donor areas could potentially include any area of relative fat excess; the abdomen, flanks, thighs and back are commonly utilized. 

Fat grafting can be beneficial to enhance both implant based and other tissue based reconstructions. Small volume fat grafting to the breasts can be used to treat contour deformities, asymmetries, and improve the quality of radiated skin and breast tissue.

Large volume and mega volume fat transfers are also options for some patients looking to reconstruct larger breast volumes or exchange existing implants for one’s own tissue. For larger breast volumes, serial fat grafting can replace the volume provided by the implant with transferred fat. Some patients without pre-existing implants may also benefit from pre-expansion with the BRAVA system (breast suction cups that help expand breast tissue and increase the size of the recipient bed). Transferred fat cells also provide rejuvenating benefits to skin affected by radiation. 

While there is a relatively low complication rate associated with prosthetic breast implants, for those patients experiencing issues such as pain, tissue thinning, asymmetry, malposition, and capsular contracture, traditional methods of treatment have a newer alternative. While these issues have classically been treated with implant removal and/or replacement, capsulectomy, capsulotomy, change in implant plane, acellular dermal matrix placement, and autologous flap reconstruction, fat transfer has been shown to be effective in restoring breast volume without maintaining the theoretical long-term risks associated with the implants themselves.
