Regarding your question

breast implants as a technique of breast augmentation
Breast implants are designed for use in cosmetic enhancement and reconstruction of the breast

what are the types of breast implants

?
there are 2 types pf breast implants :
1) saline breast implant
Saline breast implants are FDA approved for breast augmentation in women aged 18 years or older and for breast reconstruction in women of any age. These implants contain a silicone outer shell filled with sterile saline and have the following features:
May be empty initially (and filled during the procedure of implantation) or pre-filled
Available in different sizes
Have smooth or textured surfaces to their shells
Can be placed with integrated remote-fill ports: Also permit postoperative adjustment of implant saline volume
Less costly than silicone-filled products
Implant ruptures quickly detectable
Possible visible implant rippling on surface of augmented breast in women with thin breast tissue
2) silicon breast implant
Silicone gel-filled breast implants are FDA approved for breast augmentation in women aged 22 years or older and for breast reconstruction in women of any age. These implants have a silicone outer shell filled with silicone gel of varying consistencies and feature the following:
Available in different sizes
Have smooth or textured surfaces to their shells
More costly than saline-filled implants
Have a more natural feel than saline-filled implants
Less noticeable rippling in thin-skinned augmentations
Cannot be placed through a transumbilical incision (unlike remote-fill ports) but can be implanted through periareolar, inframammary and transaxillary incisions
Postoperative monitoring
In general, most companies guarantee breast implants for 10 years in case of rupture. The FDA recommends that women with silicone gel implants get breast imaging with MRI to detect silent rupture 3 years after implantation and every other year after that.
