Several trends in breast augmentation were revealed in a recent study conducted by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Possibly the most surprising being the use of saline implants rather than silicone in 60% of all procedures. Since silicone implants have returned to the market after being cleared by the FDA, patients and plastic surgeons alike have touted their safety as well as their realistic look and feel. Yet at this point, most surgeons say they use silicone in 75% to 100% of their patients.
Other trends revealed include breast crease incisions as the most popular option, with surgeons using it 64% of the time. Smooth implants are preferred over textured by 92% of the study respondents. And round implants are used over teardrop in 96% of the all breast augmentations.
The most popular breast implant size is 300 to 400 cc, which generally results in a cups size ranging from a small to full c cup.
Breast augmentation was the most popular cosmetic surgical procedure of 2008, followed by liposuction and eyelid surgery. For those considering procedures such as breast augmentation, New Jersey plastic surgery professionals at The Parker Center offer great information on their website.
