SkincareBenefits of Removing and Replacing Saline to Gel
Since their FDA approval in 2006, high cohesive silicone gel implants have gained much popularity with women who come to Dr. Broadway for breast augmentation. Many other women who come to the Broadway Center for Plastic Surgery have saline implants they received years ago. These women want to understand the benefits of replacing their saline implants with silicone gel implants.
BENEFITS OF HIGH COHESIVE SILICONE GEL IMPLANTS
Saline implants have, in some women, resulted in visible and unattractive rippling and wrinkles of the skin on the breasts. More commonly, one can also feel ripples of the implant. While this happens more often to very thin women or women with very little breast tissue than to women with more breast tissue coverage for the implant, it is, nonetheless, disheartening. Women have breast augmentation to improve their image and self-esteem, so any defect in their once-shapely breasts is counter-productive.
The high cohesive silicone gel implants are a safe and more aesthetic alternative to saline implants. Not only do gel implants look more natural, they feel more like natural breasts and are less likely to ripple.
Dr. Broadway prefers to implant only gel implants in order to decrease the incidence of the ripple and wrinkle issue. Silicone gel implants, available in different shapes and profiles, allow our surgeons to better address your breast implant performance concerns and while offering cosmetic results closer to your ideal.

Round silicone gel implants will generally give more upper quadrant, superior pole fullness. Anatomically shaped implants will often give more of a natural slope and transition from the collar bone to the nipple. Shaped implants also give the surgeon more control for inferior breast crease position and overall breast shape symmetry as we have the option to mix and match implants for volume, width, and height.
Making the Decision to Replace Your Implants
Ultimately, the benefits of silicone gel implants compared to saline implants depend on the personal characteristics of each woman’s body type. These will be discussed during your personal consultation and evaluation so that you know which choice will give you the best results as determined by your goals. If it has been many years since your original implant surgery, now might be the right time to consider replacing them with silicone gel. If your implants are more recent but you are not satisfied with the way they look or feel, you might find that re placing them gives you better results.
Discover the Benefits of Saline to Gel Implant Replacements at Broadway Plastic Surgery and Med Spa
In the ever-evolving world of cosmetic enhancements, staying informed about the latest advancements is crucial for anyone considering an upgrade to their current implants. At Broadway Plastic Surgery and Med Spa in Denver, we’re excited to offer one of the most transformative options in breast augmentation: saline to gel implant replacements. This procedure not only enhances aesthetic appeal but also offers a range of health and comfort benefits. Let’s explore why this might be the perfect choice for your body enhancement journey.
Superior Aesthetic Results
Gel implants, also known as silicone gel implants, are celebrated for their ability to mimic the feel and look of natural breast tissue more closely than saline implants. Unlike saline implants, which are filled with a saltwater solution that can sometimes provide a less natural feel, gel implants are composed of a cohesive silicone gel that holds together uniformly. This consistency helps prevent the implant from rippling or wrinkling, which can be visible under the skin with saline options. Choosing gel implants means opting for a smoother, more natural contour, making this upgrade a popular choice for those seeking a more refined breast silhouette.
Enhanced Comfort and Feel
One of the most significant advantages reported by patients who switch from saline to gel implants is the improvement in the tactile quality of their implants. Gel implants are often described as being softer and more similar to natural breast tissue, which can be particularly important for women who prioritize a natural feel along with the appearance. This switch can dramatically improve personal comfort and satisfaction with the results.
Reduced Risk of Rupture and Leakage
Silicone gel implants are designed to be robust and less likely to rupture compared to their saline counterparts. In the event of a shell breach, the gel’s cohesive nature means that it generally remains within the implant shell or migrates very minimally, reducing concerns about extensive leakage. This feature provides an added layer of safety and peace of mind for implant recipients.
Long-Term Durability
Choosing to upgrade to gel implants can also be a decision that benefits the longevity of your augmentation results. Gel implants typically have a longer lifespan and are less likely to require replacement in the short to medium term. This durability makes them a cost-effective option in the long run, as the need for fewer surgeries reduces both financial and health risks associated with multiple procedures.
Customizable Options
At Broadway Plastic Surgery and Med Spa, we understand that each patient has unique needs and aesthetic goals. Gel implants come in various shapes, sizes, and profiles, which allows for a customized approach to breast augmentation that can be tailored to suit individual body types and personal preferences. Whether you desire a subtle enhancement or a more noticeable change, our expert team is here to ensure that your results reflect your vision.
A Positive Impact on Overall Well-being
The decision to upgrade from saline to gel implants can also positively impact psychological and emotional well-being. Many patients report increased self-confidence and satisfaction with their body image post-upgrade, which is a testament to the transformative power of feeling comfortable and content with one’s appearance.
