What is the difference between silicone and saline breast implants?
Many women prefer the natural shape and feel of silicone breast implants to their salt water (saline) counterparts. In November of 2006, the FDA cleared these cohesive gel implants for use by patients over 22 years old who are getting breast augmentation. Miami and Ft. Lauderdale breast augmentation candidates are encouraged by the FDA’s announcement that “gummy bear” implants are as safe and effective as saline implants. At the South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery, your surgeon will discuss your options for breast implants and help you make your decision.
