Whats the Big Difference Between Silicone and Memory Gel? is It Just a Brand Name?

fitfoxxy
I'm 5ft 9". Lost a lot of weight, about 85 lbs. I want a tummy tuck breast lift with an implant. I wear a 34saggyb. I will do at least three consults. One doctor does saline or silicone. the other memory gel or saline. What is the difference between memory gel and silicone? After my first consult, I settled on 340cc.its. a natural look. And will fill out my saggy boobs. I originally wanted silicone, but now this memory gel is thrown in the mix.
