Columbus Breast Implant Options
Once a woman has decided to have Columbus breast augmentation surgery with plastic surgeon Dr. Sullivan, there are still some other decisions that she needs to make, including the type, size, and shape of breast implant to use. There are two types of breast implants: silicone gel implants and saline implants. Both are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in the United States.
