What’s the main difference between saline and silicone gel implants?
The gel in a silicone gel implant is lighter and thicker than saline. According to Mentor Corporation, the gel acts as a unit, rather than a liquid, and holds together uniformly. Because of this, it is suggested that it doesn’t ripple or wrinkle as easily as saline. Therefore, it might cause less rippling under the skin on the sides or under the breast.
