Is saline actually safer than silicone implants?

Hello dear!
Thank you for your question and provided information as well..
Both implants are safe but personally I prefer silicone implants. It all depends on what the patient wants and need.
Hope this helps and best of lucks.

Both saline and silicone breast implants are FDA approved in the US.  Additionally, the outer shell of both saline and silicone breast implants are a solid silicone shell.  Neither implant lasts forever and may rupture. Saline is filled with IV fluid; if a saline implant ruptures it deflates and the IV fluid is absorbed while the breast looks smaller.  Silicone implants may have "silient rupture" meaning that the patient is unaware of the implant rupture; screening with sonogram and MRI helps to detect this.
