Silicone vs Saline

Foad Nahai, MD answers: How are under muscle Saline breast implants different from Silicone?

I am looking into having breast implants very soon. I really would like to get silicone because of how much more natural they are, but I am only 19.

I am a 36B-34C and want to be a 36C-34D, so it would not be a huge difference and I already have some breast tissue. If I get saline implants under the muscle, would there be a huge difference with silicone? Would they feel and look natural?

To start with, the fact that you are 19yo, does not qualify you for silicone implants. That said, there is a lot of debate between the two. If you already have breast tissue and a nice amount of subcutaneous fat, the saline will be just fine. In the right hands, saline looks just as natural as gel. A good doctor will guide you thru your process and help you achieve a wonderful result, as well as tell you if what your asking for doesn't fit your body.
