Does it feel like a balloon filled up with water? I've noticed that some say it is firmer than silicone but in some, they look/bounce in similar ways. Some doctors say it doesnt matter what they use as long as the right pockets. I have a friend who had a 32B cup, now a small D cup but theyre so bouncy/squishy and i dont see that in many patients who chose saline. Can the doctors use a saline size to create that result or is it really hard to get that kind of result?

Answer: Saline vs. silicone breast implants More than any other factor, the final texture and consistency of your breasts after augmentation depends on the volume percentage in your resulting breasts that are implant vs. your own tissue. Because the amount of your own tissue will not change, the larger your implants, the more they will look, feel, and behave like implants vs. natural breasts. That being said, over-inflated saline implants are more firm, and project more. If you want soft, the surgeon should not inflate beyond factory recommended volume. Implant placement deep to muscle also offers more natural texture and appearance. IDEAL brand saline implants may be slightly more viscous than Mentor or Allergan, the two market leaders in saline implants. Capsular contracture hardens implants whether saline or gel, so should be avoided.In general, with proper planning and skilled execution, you can have a spectacular result and soft breasts with saline or with silicone gel.

Answer: Saline versus silicone? Saline implants are firmer and do produce more of "water balloon" feel if your breasts are small. In patients with bigger breasts, you do not feel them as much. In my practice, I offer both saline and silicone, but once a patient feels the difference in the two then they chose silicone 99% of the time. I suggest you see a few consults and ask to feel the implants yourself. I firmly believe silicone results are superior to saline breast implants.
