Saline vs. silicone: what’s better?

If you were to have breast augmentation, you will probably be asked if whether you want silicone or saline. Both types have pros and cons. If you want to have that natural feel like that of a real breast, then go for silicone. Silicones are engineered exactly the way breasts are.

But before you go to your local plastic surgeon, you have to know the other side of the coin. Although silicones are much better than saline in terms of the feel and the look, saline implants are far less dangerous than the other. If silicone implants break inside the breast, it’ll take time before one notices it. This can lead to various types of infections and complications. On the other hand, if saline implants break, you will notice them right away since your breast will lose its usual shape because it deflates faster.
