Answer: Silicone costs more than saline Thank you for your question. Silicone implants cost more than saline implants because they are more safe to use. I would advise you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed examination to discuss all possible treatment options and what your expectations are.

Answer: Saline vs silicone implant price It is not the surgeon who determines the cost of saline or silicone implants-it's the manufacturer. Higher costs are probably incurred when manufacturing silicone implants, and that's why they tend to cost more for the consumer.

Answer: The high cost of silicone implants. Ask the trial lawyers. Due to all the litigation following the silicone breast implant moratorium in 1991, most of the manufacturers of silicone implants stopped distributing in the United States. The largest manufacturer, Dow-Corning was dissolved in order to contain liability claims by the parent companies Dow and Corning. Over the subsequent 16 years multiple studies, performed at great expense, were requested by the FDA prior to their subsequent acceptance for widespread use in 2007. The limited supply, payouts, and research costs have resulted in an increased cost.
