I am going with saline implants because I was super pleased with the doctor I chose, my surgery is still 2 months away but I am getting nervous because I feel as though way more people are doing silicone! I like the fact that saline is safer and can be placed through the armpit but a lot of amazing results I see on here are silicone so its making me second guess, did I make the wrong decision? Look wise what is the biggest difference??

Answer: Ideal Implant? Have you heard of and/or considered the "Ideal Implant"?The "Ideal Implant" is a saline-filled breast I mplant with two saline chambers and internal structure that gives the implant a "feel" that is much closer to silicone than traditional saline implants.The "Ideal Implant" was designed for those people who have concerns about silicone leakage (saline is absorbed by the body) and want to be able to tell if the implant has leaked, if that should occur (the implant goes flat), while having the feel of natural breast tissue as much as possible.Not all plastic surgeons are using this implant yet. If interested, you may find more information on the implant and the doctors who use it on the Ideal Implant website.

Answer: Saline regret? This does not have to be a stressful decision. There is not a right or wrong answer. I perform all 4 approaches to breast augmentation and use every type of implant. I think that there are better choices for certain types of anatomy and better approaches for certain anatomical considerations. The plastic surgeon should be able to help you sort this out in an efficient manner in 5 minutes or less. Go back and review the pros and cons with your plastic surgeon; you still have almost two months to make a final decision.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
