Silicone Implants: A Natural Look and Feel
Silicone implants have a cohesive silicone gel that matches the texture of natural breast tissue. Many patients opt for silicone because it feels softer and more realistic to the touch, which is especially important for those with a smaller amount of natural breast tissue.
Silicone implants don’t usually ripple, making them popular for women with thinner frames. However, one consideration is that it may not be immediately noticeable if a rupture occurs. Regular MRI or ultrasound screenings are essential to monitor implant integrity.
Saline Implants: Adjustable and Simpler Detection
Saline implants have sterile saltwater and are typically filled after placement, allowing minor size adjustments during surgery. This flexibility can help correct asymmetry.
In the event of a rupture, the body absorbs the saline, and the deflation is usually obvious, making it easier to detect and address. While they can provide excellent results, saline implants may feel slightly firmer and are more prone to visible rippling, particularly in women with less natural tissue.
