I’ve had saline implants for the last 16 years. I’ve never had a problem with them, but they aren’t as beautiful as they once were. The left is harder than the right and is higher. I’ve decided to get them redone, and now I’m faced with the decision of going with saline again or switching to silicone gel. I’ve heard that silicone is more natural feeling and won’t pop as easily. What other pros and cons are there for saline versus silicone gel? What is your opinion as to the best option?

Answer: Silicone Superior in Every Way Hello,With virtually 95% of all American women choosing silicone gel, its no wonder that it is superior to saline in every way. However, you will need more than just a great, new implant to help you; you need a breast lift too. Go visit a few ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons who specialize in revision breast surgery. Best of luck!

Answer: Implant Exchange It looks like you have a capsular contracture in the left breast which is making it harder and higher. You'll need to remove the scar tissue and change the implants. If you wish to lower your chance of getting another capsular contracture, textured silicone implants may be a good option. Silicone implants have a nicer feel and they will look similar to the saline implants that you have. I recommend seeing a plastic surgeon for consultation.
