There are two types of implants: Silicone gel implants and Saline implants. The silicone gel was in use since 1962 but in 1995, patients claimed a series of medical problems caused by the implants and the silicone implants production was halted by the major producers Dow Corning in 1995. After the incidence, FDA allowed the manufacturer of silicone gel and saline implants to carry out the surgeries but there are certain restrictions on the procedure.
The silicone implants have silicone filled thick substance like gel, which retains the shape of the busts to give it a proper shape and volume. Silicone gel implants exactly resembles the natural busts but its leakage can be harmful.

The time taken to do the surgery varies from two to four hours, and the patients are considered outpatient. The patient is given local anesthesia and medication to reduce pain of surgery.
Post surgery, the patient is closely monitored by the doctors as she recovers. The busts are tightly fixed with dressing or using a surgical bra. It is advised to wear special bras for one month after the surgery. You should not wear the underwire bra after surgery for at least a month. Post-surgery the patient is allowed to go home in a few hours but sometimes, the patient takes more time to recover and there are other personal factors, which determine the recovery time.
