While we offer both silicone and saline implants, it is hard to say which choice will be best for you. Silicone implants are by far the most popular choice for patients today. Because of the viscosity of the silicone gel used in cohesive and highly cohesive silicone implants, they are said to provide patients with a more natural feel and shape. You may also have to monitor your implants with MRIs every so often, just to be safe.
Conversely, saline implants are stiffer than natural tissue and can slosh. They are less expensive than silicone implants. You will also notice a rupture immediately with saline implants, and your body will safely absorb the saline solution.
You will work with Dr. Cambeiro and his team to decide what option is right for you in your consultation.
