Types of Breast Implants
At Salzman Cosmetic Surgery and Spa, we offer many types of breast implants, all specifically chosen based on your expected results.

This implant is highly customizable with three different modifications, with a silicone-like gel that is not as stiff. Additionally, it mimics the natural breast feel you may desire.
