Depends upon how you define "health benefit"...

From what we know today, saline, silicone, and form stable silicone breast implants such as the Natrelle 410 have no effect on your health per se. All issues with these implants are related not to the health of your body as a whole, but rather to the look and feel of your breasts.

This website is extremely helpful: http://www.cohesiveimplants.com/types/ A lot of current doctors are really negative about the Natrelle highly cohesive (Form stable) anatomical implants. But yet they are the most popular in other countries by far, and they have proven lower rates of complications like capsular contracture. Don't listen to the doctors who are stuck in their ways--they don't want to learn how to use them (it takes more skill). Do your research! I recommend a book called "The Best Breast" (you can find it on Amazon...it's also super helpful). Good luck!
