Breast Implants Brisbane

Enhance Your Bust and Your Self-Confidence

Dr. Philip Richardson offers both saline and silicone breast implants at Brisbane Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery. Depending on your aesthetic goals and particular needs, one type of implant may be better suited for your lifestyle. During a personal, one-on-one consultation with Dr. Richardson, he will discuss your medical history, expectations, and desired appearance, and recommend the most effective treatment method. Each type of implant has unique attributes, and it's best to go over the pros and cons of both before deciding on which is right for you. To schedule a consultation regarding breast implants at our Brisbane practice, please contact Dr. Phil Richardson today.

Silicone Breast Implants

Silicone breast implants are filled with a silicone gel that closely matches the feel and consistency of natural breast tissue. For this reason, it is preferred by many women over saline implants. Though there are some unique complications that can arise in rare instances, such as silicone leakage, and these potential risks should be taken into consideration, silicone breast implants have been proven to be both safe and effective.

The most common incision types for silicone breast implants are inframammary and areolar. At Brisbane Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery, we employ both techniques:

• The areolar incisions made on the cusp of where the areola meets the breast
• The inframammary technique hides the incision beneath the breast fold and allows Dr. Richardson unparalleled access and precision when placing the implant

The type that is right for you can be determined during a consultation with our team.

Saline Breast Implants

Our patients have diverse wishes, and we like to provide them with various options; as such, we are happy to offer saline breast implants to our Brisbane area patients. They consist of a silicone outer shell filled with an inert saline solution.

It should be noted that saline implants can ripple beneath the skin, and do not feel as natural as silicone implants because of the nature of the saline solution.
