Choosing between saline and silicone breast implants may be one of the harder decisions you’ll have to make on your breast augmentation journey. Here are a few basic facts about saline implants that may help you make your decision:
- Saline implants are made of a silicone shell that is filled during surgery with sterile salt water until your desired size is achieved.
- Because they're filled at the time of surgery, saline implants require a smaller incision than silicone implants.
- The variety of size is viewed by many as one of the chief benefits of choosing a saline-filled implant.
- In the event of a rupture, the natural saline solution will be absorbed by the body without any negative side effects.
- Saline-filled implants are available in a wide variety of profiles, shell textures and shapes.
- You can get both the natural and fake look with saline implants.
