Saline and silicone implants have their benefits and drawbacks. Silicone implants look and feel more natural, but tend to hold their shape if the shell breaks, so it’s difficult to detect a problem. Saline implants do not look and feel as similar to natural breast tissue as silicone implants, but it is immediately apparent if a saline implant develops a complication. Dr. Ellis can help you select the implant type that best suits your needs during a consultation.
