Do you want your breasts to look bigger or more proportional? Or do you want to restore your breasts to their former shape after some injury or surgery? Saline Breast Implants in Abu Dhabi are a safe solution to such predicaments. With these implants, surgeons have a lot more control and precision to modify, improve, reconstruct, and fix the appearance of the breasts, compared to the alternative procedures for similar augmentations. Our experts at Enfield Royal Clinic Abu Dhabi will explain these devices in detail, along with the procedures they use to insert them into place and other useful information that our readers can benefit from should they choose to try this treatment. 

What Are Saline Breast Implants?

Breast Implants are very simple medical devices. They typically have a soft, round or teardrop-shaped, silicone shell filled with either a silicone gel or saline solution. We can insert these behind the breast tissue or chest muscles to lift the breast and give it more volume. 

Silicone gel implants are a topic for another time, though we will give you a bit more context about them in a later section. 

Saline implants, as we said, are full of a saline solution, which is a sterile mixture of salt and water very similar to natural body fluids. We can adjust the amount of this filling to alter the implants’ shape and size. This comes in handy for a number of reasons, which we will get into in later sections as well. For now, we should explain why we need these devices in the first place. 

Why Do We Even Need Breast Implants? 

Women typically want implants for two main reasons: reconstruction and augmentation. In this context, reconstruction means fixing and restoring the breast tissue after some sort of damage. These devices are notably instrumental for correcting deformities and for recovery after surgeries like mastectomy or lumpectomy. As a complement to this, breast augmentation is mostly for aesthetic improvements. Its purpose is to increase the size and fix asymmetry or restore volume (in particular after pregnancy or sudden weight loss). Now that you have the basic knowledge about implants, we should clarify the expenses involved in their surgery next. 

Saline Breast Implants Cost in Abu Dhabi:

The standard Saline Breast Implants Cost starts somewhere around 25,000 AED and could go as high as 45,000 AED for more advanced or complicated procedures. The prices of such treatments generally vary from individual to individual. These frequent variations could be for a number of reasons, including the surgeon’s expertise, the clinic’s reputation and location, the type of implant used, the implant’s size and shape, pre and post-operative care, etc. 

Who Can Benefit the Most From a Saline Implant:

Certain individuals are more likely to benefit the most, deal with the least amount of complications during their implant surgery, and be more satisfied with the results. Here are a few key characteristics of such individuals. 

• Age 18 or older. 
• Good general health condition. 
• Enough natural breast tissue to cover the implant.
• They want a firm and lifted feel to their breasts. 
• Prefer minimal incisions and scarring. 
• Looking for a budget-friendly treatment. 

Some Instructions To Better Prepare For Surgery:

Your surgeon will give you some instructions to prepare you for your implant surgery, usually during one of your consultations or checkups. They are a key to keeping you safe during surgery, minimizing risks, and ensuring a speedy and proper recovery. Here are some of these that you should note. 

4 to 6 Weeks Before Surgery:

• Avoid nicotine products like cigarettes, patches, gum, or vapes. 
• Refrain from drinking any alcoholic beverages. 
• Get the required blood tests, mammograms, or physical exams. 

2 Weeks Before Surgery: 

• Don’t take blood-thinning medications. 
• Protect your skin from excessive sun exposure. 
• Prepare your room for recovery. 
• Get your prescription for post-op medications. 

1 Day Before Surgery: 

• Shave your underarms and the areas near your breasts. 
• Don’t eat or drink anything for 8 hours before the surgery. 
• Get plenty of rest and sleep.
• Remove any jewelry or contact lenses before the treatment. 
• Wear loose and comfortable clothing. 

The Surgery:

The surgical process of inserting the saline implants under the breasts is very simple and takes only about 1 or 2 hours. Below, we’ve organized the steps of this procedure and detailed what happens during each. 

Sedation:

The surgeon briefs their patient about how the treatment will work and prepares them for surgery. This involves examining the chest area and marking the incision sites. A few minutes before the surgery, they administer general anesthesia to make sure they are deeply sedated, desensitized to pain, and comfortable during the surgery. 

Incision:

The cuts can be placed on any of three locations: under the breast, around the nipples, or near the armpit. It depends on which site grants better access to the breast tissue where the implant needs to go. 

Insertion:

Through the incision, surgeons create a small pocket under the breast tissue or under the chest muscle. They place the empty silicone pouch of the implant in this pocket and fill it with saline later using some tubes. 

Filling The Saline:

Surgeons put a small fill tube into the empty shell through a valve on its side. They put a specific amount of the saline solution (typically 300 or 400 cc) through the tube and retrieve the tube. The valve closes on its own and seals the implant. 

Closing the Incisions:

The surgeons have to adjust and examine the implant one last time to make sure it is secure, whole, and positioned correctly. When they’re satisfied, they close the incisions with sutures and dress them safely with bandages. 

Discharge:

As soon as they recover from the sedative and their surgeon makes sure that they don’t have any serious side effects, patients are allowed to leave the clinic and return home for proper rest and recuperation. 

Some Notes on After-Care for Saline Implant Surgery:

Your surgeon will give you a few instructions to follow during your recovery. These after-care directives are essential to make your recovery as smooth as possible, so you can avoid any complications and get the best out of your implants. Here are a few of note: 

• Sleep and rest well, particularly in the first few weeks. 
• Lie on your back and with your upper body elevated. 
• Take short and light walks every day to prevent internal blood clots. 
• You shouldn’t lift anything heavier than a paperback in the initial weeks. 
• Try not to raise your hands over your head until your incisions heal. 
• Wear a supportive bra to reduce swelling and secure your implants. 
• Keep the incision sites covered, clean, and dry. 
• Don’t shower for at least 48 hours after surgery.

A Simple Recovery Timeline For Breast Augmentation:

Patients recover relatively quickly from this kind of implant surgery because it requires smaller incisions. It is safe to return to normal physical activity after 4 or 6 weeks; however, please note that the complete healing and settling of the implants takes nearly 3 to 6 months. Here is a simplified version of what recovery from this procedure looks like: 

Notable Benefits of Breast Implants:

These simple medical devices have countless benefits for women’s mental and physical well-being and beauty. Primarily, implants are useful for improving an individual’s appearance and adjusting it to their liking. Here are a few of their key benefits at a glance:

• They give patients control over the size and shape of their breasts. 
• Effectively correct asymmetry and imbalance. 
• Very useful for regaining the volume lost after pregnancy. 
• Makes tighter clothing fit and look better.
• Helps women restore their appearance after breast cancer treatments. 

What To Do In Case An Implant Ruptures?

Sometimes, because of direct trauma or some other reason, a breast implant ruptures. Such a situation can, understandably so, be quite frightening and frustrating. We have a little plant that might help you deal with the problem quickly and efficiently. 

• Step 1: 

You have to be sure that your implant is actually ruptured. This part is easier with saline implants because they deflate immediately as the saline leaks out through the damaged point and is safely absorbed into your body. 

• Step 2: 

Contact your surgeon immediately, relay your situation, and schedule a physical exam. Also, inform them about the reason for the rupture because that can be useful information. When you get to the surgeon, consult them to figure out a viable solution.  

• Step 3: 

Your surgeon should take care of the rest and either repair the implant or replace it with a new one. They will also give you some instructions and guidelines to ensure that this kind of problem doesn’t happen again. 

Saline Vs Silicone Vs Gummy Bear Implants:

There are two types of breast implants we always hear about, three if you consider the new, improved silicone type that has come to the forefront in the relatively recent past. Each type is useful in its own way and has certain characteristics that serve some situations better than others. They will be easier to understand with the context of a few of their key features. 

Saline Implants:

• Filled with sterile salt water. 
• Feel firm, though sometimes artificial. 
• Require smaller incisions.
• Have a generally lower cost. 
• Ruptures are easier to detect. 

Silicone Implants:

• Filled with traditional silicone gel. 
• Feel soft and more natural. 
• Need a larger cut to insert the pre-filled implant.
• Fall in the higher price ranges. 
• Rupture silently and cannot be detected without medical tests. 

Gummy Bear Implants:

• Filled with a thick and more cohesive silicone gel. 
• Feel a little firmer than traditional silicone implants. 
• Also need a large cut as the implants are pre-filled. 
• Expensive but worth it because of their natural feel and long life. 
• Rupture silently and retain shape. Medical tests are required for detection.
