Having ba surgery next week, originally decided on silicone mod unders, but the fact that an mri is recommended every few years to detect leaks just isn't sitting right with me. I am meeting with my ps Friday to make final decision, just curious what other patients satisfaction levels have been with saline. I want to go from an a cup to c, decided on 400cc, minimal breast tissue to start. Not super concerned with feel, look is more important to me. Thank you in advance.

Answer: Satisfaction with saline implants Hello, satisfaction with saline implants can be high. On the other hand, I don't recommend my patients with silicone implants get an MRI every few years to look for a rupture. If newer gel implants do rupture the gel does not migrate so I am not sure about the value of ongoing tests to look for a rupture in the absence of any symptoms or cosmetic concerns. Perhaps there are different recommendations in your country/region.

Answer: Saline versus silicone implants This question is a common one that many patients ask when undergoing breast augmentation. Silicone implants tend to give a more "natural" feel and result. The newer generation of silicone implants are very different from the implants that used to be available and are very safe. However, if you have any doubt, saline implants can give very nice results as well. There definitely is more firmness to saline implants especially if you have minimal breast tissue present. Make sure you discuss all of your options with your plastic surgeon.
