Many plastic surgeons believe that silicone gel-filled implants have a more natural look and feel than saline implants.
Silicone gel has a texture that is very similar to natural breast tissue.
Saline implants, on the other hand, do not feel as soft. However, silicone gel also has certain disadvantages. For example, silicone gel implant ruptures are harder to detect. When saline implants rupture, they flatten visibly. When silicone gel-filled implants leak, the breast often looks and feels the same.
