Saline Breast Implants on Thin Patients?

October 4, 2009
Asked By:Sarah1972 in Los Angeles,CA

I am 19 years old and want to get breast implants. I am thin and do not have a lot of breast tissue. I am a size 32 A. I have heard saline implants are not good for thin skin because there will be rippling. I really want to get them soon and not have to wait until I'm 22 to get silicone implants. Can I still get good results with saline with no rippling, or would it be better if i waited until 22 to get silicone? Thank you!
