Silicone vs Saline

John Whitt, 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?

You can get a very good result with saline implants, especially if they are placed behind the chest muscles. You will probably get a "better look" and "more natural feel" with silicone implants. There has been no scientific evidence that silicone implants cause any of the problems that trial lawyers invented in the early 1990's. The silicone implants are more costly and for that reason many of my patients continue to choose saline and get very good results.
