I had my first consultation today. I had thought I’d do saline implants. The surgeon I spoke with today strongly suggested doing silicone implants for me. He said shape and size would be easier to achieve. Any thoughts on this? I don’t mind if they’re slightly less squishy but I really care about getting the shape right. Can the same shape be achieved with saline implants? I like round, full breasts. He suggested a mastopexy w/ augmentation and lipo for my side boob/underarm.

Answer: Saline vs Silicone? Can the same shape be achieved with saline implants? Hi jcchua, Silicone versus Saline is a personal choice. When you consider breast enlargement, the best way to decide whether to have saline or silicone gel implants is to learn more about the different types of breast implants . For full disclosure you need to read the implant manufacturer’s brochure and the FDA patient information on breast implant safety, but for our patients we like to break down the basics. The top differences between these implant are 1) Price-Saline is cheaper 2) Feel-Silicone feel more like natural breast tissue and do not "slosh" about or show as much rippling on thin patients 3) What happens if the implant shell develops a tear. Saline-It deflates. Silicone-You may not know. These should be your concerns. Both implants come in all the same volumes (although Saline has greater variability, if over filled), projections and shapes. Either implant can achieve a round, full breast. Good luck to you!
