Frequently Asked Questions What is an implant made of and are there different types? Implants made today are most commonly comprised of a silicone shell and are then usually filled with a saline solution. Silicone gel-filled implants are restricted by the FDA for use only in specific cases. There are different types of implants, including differences in size, shape and texture. The shape of the implant can be either contoured (a tear-drop shape) or round, while the texture can be either smooth or textured. The implant type that is best for you will depend upon your individual circumstances and is best determined with the help of your doctor. Main FAQ Area | ||||||||||||||||||
