Saline vs Silicone Breast Implants

Saline Breast Implants consist of an outer silicone shell filled with the saline solution, typically filled in surgery once the Implant shell has been placed in the breast. Some types of saline Breast Implants allow for the volume to be adjusted after surgery through a valve in the Implant.

A disadvantage of saline Breast Implants is that they feel more like a bag of water than natural breast tissue.

Silicone Breast Implants consist of an outer silicone shell filled with cohesive silicone gel.

The main advantage of silicone Breast Implants and the reason they are more commonly chosen by women is their natural look and feel.
