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: Breast Augmentation - Natural Augmentation: Saline vs. Silicone Thank you for your question.The short answer is that yes saline implants can look natural but it is important to make clear that how natural any implant looks will largely depend on implant size, preoperative anatomy, and amount of soft tissue coverage. Generally speaking, silicone gel implants tend of offer patients a more natural look and feel when compared to saline implants and silicone implants also tend to be significantly more popular than saline alternatives. With that said, each patient has to select the implant that they are most comfortable with. If your ultimate goal is to achieve a natural breast augmentation be careful to choose a conservative implant size that works best with your preoperative anatomy. The more soft tissue coverage you have of your implant the more natural your breasts will appear and feel.

Answer: Silicone vs Saline? The appearance of silicone and saline implants are very similar once all of the swelling has resolved. The difference is in the feel of the implant. Silicone implants feel much more natural. For this reason the vast majority of my patients desire the silicone implants and are very happy with them.

Answer: Saline implants Thanks for your question. Yes, saline implants can look natural. The choice between saline versus silicone implants generally comes down to personal preference. As you mentioned, detecting rupture is easier with saline implants; in addition, these implants tend to be less expensive than silicone. Saline implants do, however, have a slightly higher incidence of rippling when compared to silicone. Ultimately, patients you can achieve natural looking results with either type of implant. The more important factors regarding natural appearance include implant size (not selecting too large of an implant) and placement.

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!
