Saline-Filled Implants

These implants are best if your primary surgical goals include breast enlargement and the improvement of symmetry in both the breasts, because your surgeon can control the size of each individual breast by filling each with different amounts of saline.

Silicone Gel Implants

Silicone Gel Implants are currently the most popular implant option; women seeking Breast Augmentation in Bellevue often demand silicone gel implants.
