One of the most common questions I get during consultation is, or not even in consultation, sometimes on the street or out at a restaurant is what’s best? Saline best? Silicone best? All these are really good questions. The way that I like to answer that question is, you really have to feel them. That’s part of the reason why during my consultation. I let my patients feel them. They grab them, they squeeze the implants, they try them on. Not only for the size, but the texture. The texture of a silicone implant, a gel implant, is very different than what a saline implant feels like. Now, does that mean it’s going to feel completely different when it’s underneath, in your body? Not necessarily. Believe it or not, there’s not a whole lot of difference. Silicone, however, does edge it out. I think silicone, and my patients will agree, silicone has a much more natural feel, and it looks more natural. Saline, on the other hand, is a little bit more tense and because it’s essentially a balloon that’s filled up. However, in 99% of patients, it’s so difficult to tell the difference between saline versus silicone. So, it really becomes a choice for the patient. I can lead them down the road, but I will never make the decision for them. That decision is for them and them alone because it’s their body, and if they want silicone, I think it’s perfectly safe, perfectly natural and it’s a wonderful choice. If they want saline, I think it as perfectly safe, perfectly natural, and it’s a wonderful choice. So that’s something– I really allow my patients to make that decision.
Silicone or Saline? Breast Augmentation Tips – Sarasota
Sarasota Surgical Arts is all about Customer Satisfaction – FL
One of the greatest things that I love about breast augmentation is the, the satisfaction. Breast augmentation carries the highest satisfaction rate in cosmetic surgery out of all the procedures that we perform. The great thing about that is seeing peoples’ eyes when they come out of surgery. And the first thing that they do is they lift up the sheets and they look down and they say, “My gosh, this is awesome. I can’t believe I waited this long to do this, and I’m so happy.” And that’s wonderful. You know, that makes me feel like I’m doing the right thing. I am coming to work, and I love my job. I love doing this type of surgery. It’s those little things that you see that people– I’m really helping somebody. Deep down, those are the things that give us the greatest satisfaction in our work. That’s the real true test of being successful is how you treat others and how others feel after you’ve treated them. So, I often get e-mails from my patients where they are on beaches or on boats and they are in their bikinis and they say, thanks, Doc, it’s wonderful. And you see them when they come in for their post-op periods, and it’s just a complete transformation. It’s just so great to see.

The wonderful thing about breast augmentation is that it carries the highest satisfaction rate in all the cosmetic procedures that we do. That makes me happy. Because happy patients, happy surgeon. So, the thing that’s so great about it is that it’s instant. Instantaneous. They come into surgery, after they’ve chosen these implants and they’ve tried them on and gosh, I can’t wait. I can’t wait to get these, to get this over with and get this done because I just so excited. And then all of a sudden, in the recovery room, the first thing they do is lift the sheets up and look down and they’re like, wow, I’m a totally new woman. And I’ve seen women transformed. I’ve seen women cry after they’ve had it. Whether they may have had some sort of asymmetry or some sort of an imbalance, and after making them balanced again, making them whole again after breast augmentation, they just love it. And that really is such a wonderful moment for me and that, gosh, I’ve chosen the right profession. Because this is just a wonderful thing to see. The transformations are amazing. Not so much in terms of physical prowess, but the transformations of how people see themselves. Unfortunately in our society, we base a lot of how we perceive others by their bosom, and breast augmentation has become very, very popular over the last 10, 15 years. It’s received some bad press, unfortunately, which was all disproven, and gel implants are back on the market, and they’re able to be used for primary augmentations again. However, created a little bit of a scare there for a little while. But all that has been unproven, and it’s all sort of in the way side. But, the wonderful thing about seeing patients, and they’re able to choose silicone or saline. Now, there’s actually options out there. They can choose saline; they can choose silicone. They try them on. And there’s just this wonderful feeling of empowerment for these women. Where they say, gosh, you know, I could choose one or the other. I could choose the size? You’re not going to do it all for me? That’s wonderful. I mean, that’s 90% is their decision; 10% is my work. And together, we have 100% result. And the thing that I pride myself on is making sure that my patients are happy. If there’s any inconsistencies, I’m going to follow them from start to finish, and we’ll get through everything together. But I could tell you that the thing that’s so great is seeing them come out of recovery room and seeing how happy they are and the feeling of elation that, gosh, you know, I’ve done it; I finally did it. I’m so glad that I did it, and I can’t wait to go to the beach and try on a t-shirt or try on a bikini. And you know, all my patients send me pictures of them at the beach and say, thanks, Doc, or they send me e-mails. “Couldn’t have done this without you, Doc.” And those are all really, really neat things to see.
