Breast implants are prosthetic devices (medically approved) used to enhance the size and shape of a woman’s breasts through surgical intervention. They are mainly used for two purposes: augmentation and reconstruction. It means that a breast implant can simply be used to increase the shape and size of breasts for a woman who doesn’t feel satisfied with the current size and shape. Or the implants may be helpful for a woman who has had a mastectomy (partial or complete) due to a medical reason and now need breast reconstructions with the aid of implants.
When implants are used to enhance the size or reconstruct breasts, the procedure is called breast implant surgery. To learn more about breast implant surgery, its benefits, risks, and other aspects, talk to Pristyn Care’s highly experienced plastic/cosmetic surgeons.

Several types of breast implants are available in the market, which vary in terms of shape, size, texture, and profile. Here are some common types of breast implants:
The surgeon assesses the patient’s individual needs, discusses the benefits and considerations of each type, and recommends the most suitable implant to deliver the desired outcome.
Here are the key differences between saline and silicone breast implants.
| Aspects | Silicone Breast Implants | Saline Breast Implants |
| Consistency and Feel | Silicone implants have a cohesive gel filling that closely resembles the feel of natural breast tissue. They tend to provide a more natural and soft appearance. | Saline implants are filled with a sterile saltwater solution, resulting in a firmer and less natural feel compared to silicone implants. |
| Shape and Stability | Silicone implants tend to maintain their shape and provide a more stable outcome over time, with less risk of rippling or wrinkling. | Saline implants may be more prone to rippling or wrinkling, especially in individuals with thinner breast tissue. |
| Incision Size | Silicone implants come pre-filled, requiring a larger incision for placement. | Saline implants can be inserted through a smaller incision as they are filled after insertion. This means that the incisions will be smaller and more discreet. |
| Safety Considerations | Silicone implants have been extensively studied and deemed safe for use by regulatory authorities. Still, there can be a risk of silicone gel migration in case of rupture. | Saline implants are filled with a harmless saline solution, which poses no health risks in case of leakage or rupture. |
| Rupture Detection | If a silicone implant ruptures, the gel may stay within the implant or leak into the surrounding tissue (known as a silent rupture). | In the case of a saline implant rupture, the saltwater solution is absorbed by the body, causing the implant to deflate without any side effects. |
Breast implants are primarily used for two purposes: breast augmentation and breast reconstruction. Commonly people choose to get the surgery for cosmetic or medical reasons. The reasons may include the following:
The decision to get breast implants is entirely personal for the individual. The surgeon evaluates the medical history, breast anatomy, and other factors to determine if a woman is a suitable candidate for breast implant surgery and then provides personalized recommendations as required.

Here are some of the key benefits associated with breast implant surgery:
Breast implant surgery, like any surgical procedure, carries certain risks and potential complications. Most people experience the side effects of breast implants, but complications are rare.
Common side effects include swelling, redness, bruising, etc., in the treated area. The side effects of breast implants often resolve on their own and don’t require intervention. However, the complications don’t go away on their own and need to be managed promptly. Here are some potential complications associated with breast implant surgery that patients should be aware of:
It’s important for the patient to take regular follow-ups with the doctor to monitor the recovery and look out for the signs of these complications.
The recovery after breast implant surgery takes around 3-6 weeks, and the final results may take slightly longer than this. The duration of recovery will vary for each patient depending on the technique used and their healing abilities. So, here is a general overview of what to expect:
The patient should understand that recovery from a breast implant surgery can take several months. And throughout this period, the patient will need to take many precautions to avoid damage to the breasts or implants.
Typically, the implants will take 2-3 months to settle into their final position. Immediately after the surgery, the patient will be able to see the change in the shape and size of the breasts, but these won’t be the final results. Initially, there will be swelling, due to which the chest region will appear higher.
Over the upcoming weeks and months, the breast implants will gradually settle into a more natural position as the tissues stretch and adjust. The incision scars will also be clearly visible in the first few months. In the start, they will appear red or pink and feel firm and raised. As the incisions heal, their marks will fade, and they won’t appear raised. The surgeon may also recommend using scar reduction cream to improve their appearance.
As the implants settle, the breasts will look more enhanced and natural. To get the desired results, it’s important that the patient chooses a skilled surgeon and the right type of implant that can provide desired breast volume, fullness, and symmetry.
On average, breast implant surgery cost in India ranges from Rs. 1,00,000 to Rs. 1,50,000 or more. Typically, the surgery cost is determined after accounting for multiple factors, such as the type of breast implant, the surgeon’s fee, hospital-related expenses, etc.
One of the major factors that influence the overall cost of the surgery is the type of implant chosen for the procedure. So, here is a general estimate of different types of breast implant cost in India:
| Breast Implants Types | Average Cost |
| Saline Implants | Rs. 50,000 to 1,20,000 per pair |
| Silicone Implants | Rs. 60,000 to 1,30,000 per pair |
| Gummy Bear Implants | Rs. 70,000 to 1,40,000 per pair |
The breast implant surgery cost will vary for each patient depending on the type of implant she chooses to get. To get an estimate of the procedure cost, get in touch with Pristyn Care and talk to our experts.
The lifespan of breast implants can vary for each individual. While breast implants are designed to be durable and long-lasting, they are not expected to last a lifetime. Here are some factors that can influence the longevity of breast implants:
Generally, breast implants last anywhere from 10 to 20 years or longer. However, it’s important to note that this is an average estimate, and some implants may last for shorter or longer periods.
Typically, breast implant surgery is considered a cosmetic procedure, due to which it is not covered by health insurance plans. However, there are certain conditions where the surgery is performed as a medically necessary procedure. If so, the health insurance provider may approve to cover breast implant cost in India.
The specific conditions include the following:
It should be noted that each health insurance policy has specific criteria regarding coverage. Further, the policies offered by different health insurance providers will also have distinctive terms and conditions. Therefore, it’s advised to talk to the respective health insurance provider and understand the policy in detail to determine when and how an individual can get breast implant surgery covered by insurance.
Breast augmentation and breast implant surgery are often used interchangeably, but there is a slight distinction between these two procedures. Here’s the difference:
In essence, breast augmentation is the broader term that encompasses all methods of enhancing the breasts, including breast implant surgery. Breast implant surgery, on the other hand, is a specific technique within breast augmentation that involves the use of breast implants.
Yes. You will be able to breastfeed even after getting breast implants, however, the amount of mild produced might get affected. It is the placement of the implant and the location of the incision that will determine whether the patient’s mild ducts will be affected. If the incision is placed around the nipple and the implant is placed above the pectoral muscles, there is a higher chance that the mild ducts will be affected, which will, in turn, affect the woman’s ability to breastfeed.
Breast implants are primarily focused on increasing breast volume and enhancing size and shape. They involve the placement of implants to achieve the desired outcome. Unlike this, a breast lift aims to address sagging or drooping breasts by lifting and reshaping the existing breast tissue. While a breast lift can be combined with a breast lift, they are separate procedures with different goals.
You should always discuss your goals and expectations with a certified plastic/cosmetic surgeon to choose the appropriate size and shape of breast implants. The surgeon will provide recommendations according to the desired outcome, body proportions, and existing shape and size of the breasts.
You will be able to get mammograms after getting breast implants. However, additional techniques or views may be required to visualize the breast tissues when implants are placed properly.
Both silicone and saline breast implants can provide natural-feeling results. Silicone implants are known for their gel-like consistency that closely resembles natural breast tissue. Many individuals find silicone implants to feel more similar to natural breasts. However, the perception of what feels natural can vary from person to person.
