Saline Implants

Wow, that's a huge topic!

Silicone implants are as safe as saline implants in my opinion. Both are associated with risks including (but not limited to) capsular contracture (hardening), infection, sensation changes, pain, and the need for further surgery.

I have not seen any scientific evidence that shows breast implants cause cancer, rheumatologic disorders or autoimmune disorders. It is important to remember that both types have a silicone outer shell, so even saline implants contain some silicone.

Here's the latest comprehensive info on breast implant safety from the FDA, including silicone implants:

I hope that helps.
