Titanium Coated Implants - Breast Augmentation Enters The Space Age

Want breast implants that you can be sure won't break? Why not get titanium coatings? Let one of the strongest materials known to man make sure your breast implants don't break! Titanium-coated breast implants are called "TiBreze" implants. The technology was developed by two companies, Poly Implants Prosthesis and GfE.

Sound insane? Let me explain... First of all, it is not solid metal. The implants simply have titanium coating. This coating is created by nanotechnology, fusing the titanium with the silicone. It works just like a regular silicone implant and feels no different.

Titanium is actually one of the least toxic metals in the world. That's why titanium bonding is safe. Titanium works well with your body to prevent scarring and other breast implant risks. Researchers think that over time titanium will bond more closely to your breast, making your implants stronger and even more natural.

These implants are still in the experimental stage, so you may have trouble finding a clinic that does it close to home.
