Breast Augmentation – Silicone Vs Saline

Breast Augmentation is performed to enhance the size and shape of the breasts. Today silicone has been approved for all woman. In my practice, it is very important to explain the differences between silicone and saline implants. Silicone is softer and more natural then saline implants. There is also less rippling with silicone implants. A woman must realize that if she chooses a silicone implant, that MRI’s must be performed periodically to look for a rupture. The rupture rate for implants is approximately 3% within the first ten years. All the studies have indicated that silicone is safe with no established systemic effects. Even though silicone implants are modestly more expensive, from my observations, women believe the extra price is worth the advantages.
