Silicone Gel or Saline Breast Implants?
Saline implants contain a sterile water and salt solution, whereas silicone implants have a rubber shell that is filled with a cohesive gel. This new generation of silicone gel implants has a stable form and will maintain its shape in the breast’s upper pole with minimal rippling. It has also shown a decreased capsular contracture rate and reduced incidence of leakage. The most significant difference lies in how the breast implants feel to the patient.
Silicone gel breast implants consist of a silicone rubber shell filled with a cohesive gel that closely simulates natural breast tissue. Many of our patients prefer silicone implants for the natural results that they consistently produce.

What to Expect in a Connecticut Breast Augmentation Surgery
The duration of your breast augmentation takes approximately 1-2 hours and is performed either under local or general anesthesia. Following the surgery, you will be in the recovery room for approximately 1 hour, after which you are free to return home with a responsible adult. You will need someone to drive you home and stay with you for the first night after breast augmentation surgery.
Patients typically schedule their first post-operative follow-up appointment 5-7 days after their breast augmentation surgery. Here, Dr. Margoles will replace Steristrips on your incisions as needed and ensure that you are healing properly. You will need to wear a soft bra for approximately three weeks and can return to your normal exercise routine within 18-21 days.
Patients can expect bruising, swelling, and mild discomfort after surgery. Recovery of fat grafting for breast augmentation is shorter than with implants.

Fairfield County, CT, Breast Augmentation FAQs
How do I decide which breast implant is right for me?
It is important to remember that implants are not one-size-fits-all. Dr. Margoles offers a wide range of shapes and sizes to help match your implant to your individual body type and expectations. The key to choosing the right shape, size, and material for your procedure is to ask plenty of questions, share your goals with your surgeon, and review before-and-after albums. You should also visualize how you will look after breast augmentation, either in your mind or with practice bras.
Will I need to stay in a hospital after my breast augmentation?
Dr. Margoles has performed hundreds of breast augmentation surgeries as an outpatient procedure in her Greenwich, CT, and Manhattan locations. She uses either “twilight” IV sedation or general anesthesia. Depending on your individual treatment plan’s details, the operation takes one to two hours, and there is no need to stay overnight. Your convenience, comfort, and satisfaction are always priorities for Dr. Margoles.
What are the potential risks of breast augmentation?
As with any surgery, there are risks that can occur with breast implant surgery. The most common risks associated with the operation include bleeding, infection, capsular contracture, and implant failure. However, Dr. Margoles’s skill and refined techniques reduce the chances of complications. If any complications do occur, Dr. Margoles is highly trained and prepared to act immediately. Patients may require revision surgery at a later time. You will not be at higher risk for breast cancer.
Will there be scarring after my breast augmentation?
Some scarring is inevitable, but new techniques have made it possible to position implants in ways that ensure that scars are less noticeable. The transaxillary technique uses incisions that are made under the armpit. In an inframammary procedure, the incision is made under the breasts; a periareolar procedure locates the incision around the nipple. Although less common, a transumbilical breast augmentation procedure involves the insertion of implants via the belly button. Dr. Margoles always plans incisions for the least noticeable areas and works closely with patients to understand their preferences. The good news about scarring is that any surgical marks will gradually fade for at least a year after the procedure.
How will the feel and firmness of my breasts change after breast augmentation?
Silicone breast implants provide the most natural feel. However, Dr. Margoles can achieve a similar consistency with saline implants. She does this by inserting the implants behind the chest muscles and expanding the shell of the implant by filling it with extra saline. Implants will add firmness and strength to your breasts, and this may actually help them resist sagging. However, a large implant’s excess weight may increase the likelihood of sagging as the body ages and the skin loses elasticity.
Will I have swelling after breast augmentation?
Pain, soreness, and swelling are common when an implant is inserted into your body’s sensitive areas, especially beneath the chest muscles. Swelling crests within 48 hours but will not subside entirely for several months. Your breasts will appear elevated on your chest, and it will take time for them to drop into their final position.
How should I manage swelling after breast augmentation?
Give your body adequate recovery time after the procedure. Avoid physical stresses that tax the ligaments, skin, and muscles that are attempting to heal. However, walking is a practical way of reducing your risk of developing a blood clot. Walking and increasing fluid consumption help reduce swelling of the breasts, as well.
