By Ines Flores

A cosmetic surgeon surgically inserts implants under the skin to enlarge the bust and improve its contours. Before getting breast implants Richmond Hill Ontario and Barrie, Ontario patients should discuss it with their doctor and learn what to expect from it.

The doctor will examine the patient and discuss implant options that would be best suited to her particular body weight and shape.

Most implants used today contain either saline or silicone. They both consist of an outer shell which is available in a variety shapes, textures, and thicknesses. These shells are either pre-filled or filled when the surgery is being done, and then sealed by a patch. Depending on the design, some allow filler to be added or removed even six months following surgery.

The early forerunners to today's safe silicone implant designs were withdrawn from the market in the early 1990's due to faults which posed a health risk. However, manufacturers redesigned these forms to provide patients with a natural-looking implant that did not carry the dangers associated with those in the past.
