Breast Implants in Plano | Alfred R. Antonetti, M.D.

Understanding Breast Implant Options in Plano

Since the FDA approved silicone breast implants in 2006, women have gained greater freedom in breast augmentation and reconstruction choices. Dr. Alfred Antonetti helps patients understand the nuanced differences between saline and silicone implants, considering each patient's unique body type and aesthetic goals.

Saline Breast Implants: Versatile and Precise

Saline breast implants feature a silicone shell filled with sterile saltwater solution. These implants offer multiple placement advantages:

• Multiple insertion locations (armpit, belly button, breast crease, areola)
• Smaller surgical incisions
• Flexible filling technique

Silicone Breast Implants: Natural Look and Feel

Pre-filled silicone implants provide a more natural appearance and sensation. While placement options are more limited, many patients prefer their realistic aesthetic and texture.

Historical Context of Breast Implant Development

Breast augmentation techniques have evolved significantly over decades:

• 1800s: Experimental paraffin injections
• 1920s: Fat transplantation attempts
• 1963: First silicone gel-filled implants
• 2006: FDA reapproval of silicone implants for patients 22 and older

Choosing the Right Breast Implant in Plano

Selecting the appropriate breast implant requires careful consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon. Dr. Antonetti works closely with patients to determine the most suitable implant type based on individual anatomy, aesthetic preferences, and surgical objectives.
