Breast Implants: Saline vs. Silicone

When it comes to deciding to enhance the size and shape of your breasts, choosing the right breast implants is crucial.

Beyond differences in feel and appearance, quality plays an essential role in this decision.

Saline Implants

  1. Cost: Saline implants tend to be more affordable compared to silicone counterparts. This can be a deciding factor for those looking to enhance their appearance without significantly affecting their budget. These types of implants are rarely available in Mexico.
  2. Customizable Adjustment: One notable advantage of saline implants is the ability to adjust their volume during surgery. This allows greater customization in terms of symmetry and size, which can be an important consideration.
  3. Safe Saline Solution: The saline filling is safe and easily absorbed by the body in case of implant rupture. Additionally, ruptures are easier to detect, as the affected breast will visibly deflate.

Silicone Implants

  1. Natural Feel: Silicone implants are known for providing a more natural feel, similar to real breast tissue. This is especially appreciated by those seeking exceptional aesthetic results.
  2. Less Risk of Wrinkling: Silicone is more resistant to wrinkling compared to saline, contributing to a smoother and longer-lasting appearance.

The choice between saline and silicone implants depends on the surgeon’s experience, implant availability, and, most importantly, the patient’s personal characteristics.
