Every patient has there own personal preference regarding size. Let your plastic surgeon decide which implant would be best for you acccording to the pictures you choose of what you like and what you do not like. Do your homework and check out before and after pictures of patients to see results that you may want for yourself. Both saline and silicone implants are FDA approved and very safe. You may benefit from silicone implants vs. saline depending on your body type. Candidates for silicone implants are usually patients with less bodyfat of breast tissue, otherwise you may have rippling if you choose saline. Silicone is the more natural feeling implant. I would also recommend going under the muscle to avoid capsular contracture.
