Most of us remember the controversy of earlier generations of silicone breast implants. After 30 years on the market in 1992, they were banned from use. If you were disappointed to see silicone implants pulled off the market, you’ll be glad to know they are back.
Silicon gel breast implants can be used for breast augmentation on women that are 22 years of age or older. Breast augmentation is a process that increases the breast size. They are also used in breast reconstruction after breast cancer.
Silicon gel breast implants like the MemoryGel by Mentor all have FDA approval after a serious of ongoing studies. The complications that were an issue in earlier implants were almost always as a result of the silicone implants rupturing.
So are the new silicone gel implants free of these concerns? Not at all! Women who choose to go with silicone breast implants will be required to undergo several procedures such as MRI’s on a regular basis.
Before you decide whether silicone gel breast implants are right for you or whether saline breast implants are better, you should do your homework and find the advantages and disadvantages of each, then sit down and discuss your options with your plastic surgeon who can help you make the right decision.
It’s great that silicone gel breast implants are making a comeback but know the risks that still exist.

There are all kinds of ways to perk “the girls” up and make them look like their ten years younger. Sure you could have a breast enhancement done, but if you are happy with your actual breast size, often a breast lift is the boost that both “the girls” and your self-confidence need.
A breast lift is one of those subtle changes that people notice but can’t put their finger on. You’ve heard them before “Jill you look radiant, what’s changed? I can’t quite put my finger on it.” It can be your little secret forever.
If you are considering a breast lift, your expectations need to be realistic. Those that are very realistic about what to expect are thrilled with the outcome. A breast lift isn’t going to be radical, so if you were looking for a face-lift for the girls, you’ll want to explore breast enhancement.
Women who are emotionally stable, and who are grounded and very realistic are the perfect candidates for a breast lift. The procedure works best with small breasts that have begun to sag. So if you’re breasts aren’t looking as perky as they did before breastfeeding, a breast lift could be exactly what you need.
Whether you are 20 or 100, a breast lift can be done. There are no age barriers. And it’s more affordable than breast enhancements or other breast surgery. Should you find that you’re suddenly pregnant again, there’s no problem with breastfeeding since the nipples and milk ducts are not touched.
So if you and “the girls” have been talking, and you think it would be nice to take a few years off your figure and “perk” things up, then a breast lift is what you need. It can “perk” up the self-confidence too. So what are you waiting for?
