Both are safe.: Both silicone and saline breast implants are safe for breast augmentation. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, and you will wnat to review these with your plastic surgeon. I review some of these on my web site here: http://www.Sanfranciscobreast.Com/breast-implants.Html.

Silicone: Silicone implants feel more like natural breast. Saltines feel firmer.They are both safe. The shell of both is made of silicone, just the content i'd different. If placed by a trained surgeon, that means a board certified plastic surgeon, they can both give you great result.

Talk to your doctor: Your surgeon will describe the risks, benefits and reasons for the implants he recommends.

Both are good: I believe, based on the information the fda has reviewed, that both saline and silicone implants are safe and would have no problem if my wife, mother or sister wanted to have silicone implants. Silicone may have a more natural feel.
