What’s the difference? Episode 1 ➡️ Saline vs Silicone implants 🍒 Our fabulous surgical nurse Briana explains the key differences!
Need more information? Read below! ⬇️
Saline implants: A silicone shell is inserted into the body and then filled to its desired volume with sterile saline fluid. Saline has the consistency of water. Underneath very thin skin, folds of a saline implant might be seen or felt more often – this is known as implant “rippling” or “wrinkling.”
Silicone implants: A silicone gel is an inert polymer with no known human allergies, sensitivities or reactions. Like a gummy bear candy, the molecules are stuck to one another in a cohesive matrix. Silicone is more viscous than saline. In contrast to saline, it flows differently within its shell and can often create a more natural look and feel to the breast, like breast tissue!
