Question 1

how do i know if my saline implants are the cause of ra?

Accepted Answer

Very unlikely: There are many potential suspects for causation in ra, but saline implants are not on the list.

Question 2

why should i have saline implants instead of silicone ones?

Accepted Answer

Personal choice: In my opinion, silicone implants are softer, lighter, and more natural appearing. The outer shell of both implants is made out of silicone. Benefits of saline implants include cost. After obtaining all the information, it is a personal choice.

Question 3

what is the difference between silicone and saline implants?

Accepted Answer

IV fluid: Saline implants are a silicone balloon filled with IV fluid-saline. Silicone implants are silicone balloons filled with silicone gel.
Silicone implants are softer, more natural, with less chance of seeing ripples.

Question 4

is it possible for saline butt implants to rupture?

Accepted Answer

Not made of saline: I am not aware of any saline buttock implants that are used. In the unlikely event that someone would use a saline breast implant for a buttock augmentation, it would theoretically be 'possible for saline butt implants to rupture.'.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Many: Silicone implants are softer, more natural, and lighter. The risk of rupture is lesser than with saline implants. The risk of rippling is much smaller.

Question 6

Question 7

are saline breast implants safer than silicone? i'm debating which to get.

Accepted Answer

Saline 'rocks": Saline does not cause problems when it "infiltrates" into the body accidently. The only major issue if any is a sudden "rupture" of the implants from a blow to the chest such as a auto accident air bag or steering wheel. Saline is easily absorbed by the body as opposed to silicone. Talk to a plastic surgeon about these choices before you place all your "rocks"($$) into the "barrel".

Question 8

what is the difference between saline implants and silicone gel implants?

Accepted Answer

Material: Basically, saline in a bag and silicone in a bag. Check the data on length of success and safety and compare. Also, look at follow-up options after failure. Good Luck. Suggest if you do it , then only do it for you -- not someone else -- your body.

Question 9

please advise what is the difference between saline implants and silicone gel implants?

Accepted Answer

Materials: Saline implants are bags of saline, which has a certain feel and movement to it. Silicone gel implants are bags of silicone gel. Different feel and movement. Fill a balloon with water and fill another with jello and let set in fridge. Squeeze them and poke them with your finger to feel the difference. Silicone would be somewhat firmer than the jello, but same idea.Read up on them. Good Luck.

Question 10

do i have to put new implant after i remove my leaked silicon implant and what's  your opinion about saline implant ? is it better ?

Accepted Answer

Many options: You have options. A  saline implant may be removed without replacement implant.  You may replace the implant with another saline implant-the implant company may give you a warranty replacement payment. You may replace the implant with a silicone gel implant.  Both the saline and silicone implants have silicone shells.  The silicone implants have a more natural feel, weight and texture. Cost factor.
