Do Saline implants appear larger than silicone?

Meghen11
I was trying on sizers at my pre-op appointment and was between 2 different sizes. She only had 650cc saline and no 600cc saline so she gave me 650cc silicone. She said, "since saline behaves and looks different, 650 silicones will look like 600cc salines". I'm getting saline implants and am curious if this is true? I'm going back on Wednesday to try them on again with my fiancé present. Thank you so much!
