While on a consultation the PS told me that he recommends silicone over saline because I have little breast tissue. He said that saline would look and feel firm also be prone to rippling. Does this sound right? I don't want an obvious fake look I want something natural looking. How big is the scar for silicone? I was thinking getting 350cc, what cup size would that put me at? Thank you all, I'm very confused.
Answer: Silicone and Sakin are both excellent choices. The newest biodimensional infants from Sienra and Natrelee are simply amazing,. If your goal is a natural looking breast the plastic surgeon and the placement of the implant may be your most important decision. Natural looks can be achieved with both saline and silicone with silicone feeling most natural in a woman with very title breast tissue t start with. What creates a natural look is the placenta of the implant. Are they too far apart> Too High? Too Close together> These are the giveaways someone has had breast augmentation surgery.

Answer: Silicone V Saline Breast Implants - Breast Augmentation
In markets like Canada and Europe (and more recently the US) where both silicone and saline implants are openly available, we tend to use predominantly silicone breast implants. The reason is that these implants allow us many more options for size and shape and they are much less likely to ripple than saline implants. The standard infra-mammary crease incision, depending on the size of the implant will range between 4 - 5cm, an incision not much bigger than the incision needed for saline implants. The more you depend on the implant to give you breast shape the more important it is that the implant looks natural. From what you have described I believe silicone sounds like the best option for you. As we girls know, cup size varies depending on the make of the bra, the day of the week and the colour of the moon so please make sure you have an opportunity to try on an implant in a tank top or see 3D imaging like Vectra to understand what that size will look like on your body.
I hope this helps and good luck with your surgery.
