Generally saline and air pump types of breast implants are considered safer than silicone implants.

While there are some wonderful and highly trained physicians in Mexico and other countries, I would suggest you do some serious research before you go to Mexico to have any plastic surgery done - breast implants or otherwise! You can not sue a Doctor for malpractice there like you can a physician in the United States. Also, you have no guarantee of their actual credentials. Be sure you have proof of their expertise.

ll surgery has risk. Breast implant surgery is no different. Silicone breast implants in particular have been the focus of much scrutiny. A review of the current scientific literature supports the use of silicone gel-filled implants as a choice for women seeking breast implant surgery. However, like all surgery, breast implant surgery may pose some risk. And like all medical devices, breast implants are not meant to last a lifetime. Women need to be aware that they have a responsibility to maintain good breast health with an annual mammogram and follow-up visits with their plastic surgeon.

Saline-filled breast implants have always been safe, a fact that has been supported by more than 30 years of clinical experience throughout the plastic surgery community. Research and reports from the last decade have shown that silicone gel-filled implants do not pose additional risk to women?s short-term or long-term health.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery encourage women to have all available and accurate information about breast implants and support informed decisions based on documented safety and effectiveness.

Women interested in breast augmentation should research the procedure thoroughly and select a doctor certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
