I was confident in my decision in choosing inspira soft touch implants, but my mom had a BA with saline implants (& she has close friends that have had the same type of implants without an complications). She has me second guessing that I am taking a bigger risk in choosing something that is new on the market rather than something that has been proven to be safe for years. I would like to know which is more safe, and/or the risk & benefits of the two.

Answer: Implant types I personally prefer saline implants. They have far fewer problems in the future and they really feel about the same in most women. They also provide better peace of mind. Many surgeons don’t feel the same way and push for silicone saying they have been proven to be safe. It depends on what you are comfortable with. I will do either saline or silicone as long as the patient is well informed on the difference.

Answer: Silicone safety Dear PreciousJenBee,there have been numerous studies on the safety and efficacy of silicone breast implants. The FDA has approved them to be safe and breast augmentation is the most common cosmetic surgical procedure performed in the United States every year. Implants are much different than they used to be with rigorous testing and cohesive gel. I can't tell you how happy my breast augmentation patients have been with their implants.
