The FDA has recently approved silicone gel breast implants for use in primary breast augmentation for any woman over the age of 22. The main disadvantages include a possible higher rate of capsular contracture, the incision to place the implant is larger than the one needed for placement of a saline implant, and the cost is substantially higher then saline breast implants. On the other hand, they provide the most natural look and feel ideally suited for women with a modest amount of breast volume.
