I'm planning to get a breast augmentation soon, but I can't decide between saline and silicone implants. I'm currently a small B cup and I'm looking to be a full C cup. I don't want [RS bleep] star boobs or anything. I want my boobs to look really natural. Can I get a natural look with Saline implants? I'm leaning towards them because I like the fact that if they burst, my breast would deflate and I would automatically know. Thank you in advance for your suggestions and recommendations!

Answer: Implant Selection BiancaI appreciate your concern, but you must consider all the facts. Photos and physical exam are optimal because I try to tailor each breast augmentation operation to my patient's desires and body type. There are pros and cons regarding saline and silicone implants, and patient anatomy and preference play a role in selection. The same is true regarding implant projection. Saline implants are not "safer" than the latest generation gummy bear silicone implants because they are semi-solid, not liquid silicone. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon and go to your consult with all your questions written down so you don't forget to ask something. Good luck!

Answer: Can saline implants look as good as silicone. I totally understand why you would prefer saline over silicone implants. It is a matter of peice of mind and safety. Saline implants can look good when there is adequate tissue coverage but in general silicone implants feel softer as long as there is no capsular contraction. I have started using the Ideal Implants and I feel that they produce silicone like feel and shape. These are saline implants with a sofisticated internal structure that gives the implant a shape and feel that is even better than silicone implants.
