Saline-filled
implants are silicone shells
filled with sterile salt water
(saline). Silicone-filled
implants are silicone shells
filled with a plastic gel
(silicone). Although many women
say that silicone implants feel
more like real breasts than
saline, they pose more of a risk
if they leak. Because breasts
can continue to develop until a
woman reaches her late teens or
early 20s, the FDA requires that
women be at least 18 years old
to get breast augmentation with
saline-filled implants and at
least 22 years old to receive
silicone implant |
