Saline breast implants for breast augmentation are filled with a sterile saltwater solution that is much like the fluid that exists in the human body. These implants are inserted without being inflated with air or fluid. Once the implants are in place they are filled until they have reached a predetermined size. Mentor Johnson and Johnson saline implants feature revolutionary self-sealing valve technology. Every implant automatically seals itself off once the fill-tube has been removed.Saline Breast Implant Cost: Did you know they are less expensive than silicone breast implants?

After breast augmentation surgery, you can expect the normal follow-up appointments with your surgeon in order to ensure that everything is healing as it should. This usually means being checked immediately after surgery, then two weeks after surgery, at two months, and then six months. This will allow the surgeon to prescribe additional medication should you require it, and give you valuable advice on caring for your breasts, and about what types of activities you are ready to do.
But how often should you visit your plastic surgeon once you are fully recovered? Some women mistakenly think that this marks the […]
How old is too old? Our society has become far more accepting of cosmetic surgery procedures in recent years, yet there remains some stigma for those in their 50s and beyond who want to make body improvements. If you’ve pondered a breast augmentation in Toronto and you don’t consider yourself “young,” then you might assume there’s an age limit and wonder if you’ve passed it.
We have good news for you. There is no set number at the upper limits, and instead, plastic surgeons use discretion and detailed consultations to determine who is a good candidate for surgery. There are some […]
Tubular or Tuberous breasts are a developmental deformity that impacts the shape of the breast. While normal breasts are characterized by evenly distributed tissue, tubular breast tissue is prevented from filling out the lower poles due to tight bands of constriction. The breast tissue will then be underdeveloped and typically herniated under the nipples, giving them a protruding appearance.
People with tubular breasts normally have breasts with a narrow base and a long skin envelope giving them a droopy and long appearance, although the degree of severity differs greatly.
If you have tuberous breasts, you may be wondering if a Toronto Breast […]

Although most patients undergoing a breast augmentation are most concerned with the immediate results, it is important to also consider how your breast implants will look over time, as a breast augmentation is a long-term commitment. While follow up appointments may be necessary down the road, in most cases, breast implants age very well provided that you take good care of your body. However, a number of different factors associated with aging may bring about changes in your breasts over time.

The infection rate for breast augmentation is estimated to be 1.1% to 2.5%, based on multiple studies that have been conducted thus far. (However, there is a lack of consensus on how to actually define “infection”, therefore it is difficult to really say whether this figure is accurate.) There are a few factors that impact the risk of infection for breast surgery, whether it is for aesthetic or functional reasons.
Diabetes
Smoking
BMI
Prior breast surgery
Steroid therapy

Everyone’s nipples and areolae (the dark tissue surrounding the nipple) are different, ranging in shape, colour and size. While each of us is born with a unique combination of these “normal” traits, our nipples still change throughout our lives as hormone levels shift during puberty, pregnancy and/or breastfeeding, as well as with age.
Some level of variation is to be expected, but it’s still important to monitor your nipples for unusual changes that can’t be attributed to natural causes. Coupling a monthly breast self-exam with a check for nipple abnormality will help you to watch out for the development of any […]
