Not as good a silicone

Christopher L. Hess, MD answers: Do saline breast implants look and feel natural?

I am a small size B and have had two kids. I am looking to get small saline implants maybe 300 - 325 cc's.  I was wanting saline for safety, but I want the natural feel. I will be going under the muscle.

So would saline implants still be OK since I am going under the muscle, or will it look and feel unnatural?

Just to be clear silicone implant are and have always been safe.  The studies have looked at hundreds of thousands of women comparing those with silicone implants and those without and there is no difference in disease prevalence between the two groups.

Silicone will always feel more natural.  However, initially saline will feel firm but over time they and the breast tissue will soften.  After 6 months they will feel very natural.  If you were an A cup I would strongly recommend silicone but at a B cup you probably have enough overlying breast tissue to give the overall result a very natural feel.
