Get Saline Breast Implants at 18 and then Trade for Silicone when Old Enough?
Surgeons all suggest silicone as my best option because I have such little breast tissue, however I'm only 18. I cannot wait 4 yrs, I have saline as an option so in 5 yrs I'll trade them for silicone? Opinions? Good idea or bad idea? Dont want ripples.

Get Saline Breast Implants at 18 and then Trade for Silicone when Old Enough? This seems like a reasonable approach if you decide to proceed with implant placement. Consider the use of moderate plus saline filled to near capacity to diminish rippling tendencies.

Breast implants at 18
Silicone is better option but as you know they may not be available for someone of your age. However,under certain circumstances, you may be able to qualify for them. I am offering a temporary price reduction for all cosmetic surgery and excellent financing for cosmetic surgery. Watch my videos!

What's the best implant for an 18 year old?
By your own account, you are a thin woman with "little breast tissue". In my experience, you could be well served with a dual plane, high profile saline implant, which confers a little better protection against visible rippling. Be advised that if you are really thin, you may still feel the edge of the implant in the lower outer part of the breast.

Saline or Silicone breast implant
Please note the shape of your breasts after augmentation have nothing to do with the use of saline or silicone implant. The shape has to do with choosing the right implant for your body dimensions and making the right pocket for the implant.
If you have thin, flimsy skin you MAY get rippling with both implants, although the chance with saline will be higher. However, the saline implant can be overfilled slightly to minimize the risk.

Silicone Breast Implants for people younger than 22
There is no absolute restriction or law preventing using silicone breast implants in people younger than 22 years old. There is a restriction about marketing them to this age group for very reasonable concerns. See: http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/ProductsandMedicalProcedures/ImplantsandProsthetics/BreastImplants/ucm063719.htm#4.
With your concerns and the determination to have another surgery in 4 years, it is very reasonable to use silicone implants “off label”...

Waiting for silicone implants
The FDA has mandated that no one under age 22 can obtain silicone implants which do usually give a more natural result. If you feel that you cannot wait 4 years, it is certainly a option to go ahead and have an augmentation with saline implants. You may end up being quite pleased. If not, you always have the option to switch to silicone at or after age 22.

Saline implants until age 22
If you can't wait, your only option legally is saline. There will be ripples and wrinkles if you are thin enough but you will still get a nice looking result as long as the right implant is used and placed under the muscle. You can always change to gel later in life.
