With "extremely dense" breast tissue can I get a good result from saline implants?

November 25, 2014
Asked By:fitbiz in Indianapolis, IN

Silicone has been recommended to me for adding shape and a moderate change. However, I'm concerned with the silicone failing and I think I would worry less about saline,as well as no MRI needed to monitor. My surgeon plans on the transaxillary approach and it seems that saline would be more desirable. I think I would be more comfortable with saline but I'm worried that I will be sacrificing a good result. Thank you.
