My mother had breast cancer in her early 40s. I am 23 and recently had a consultation. I was told that saline implants would be best for future detection. I believe mainly due to capsular contracture. I hadn’t decided yet but I was leaning towards silicone for the most natural look possible. I really appreciate his concern for my risk and safety but I’m just curious to see if other doctors agree that saline might be my safest/only option or if anyone thinks silicone could still be a safe option
