What is the difference between silicone and saline breast implants?

Answer

Silicone breast implants are filled with a cohesive silicone gel that feels more like natural breast tissue, while saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater after placement. Silicone implants typically offer a softer feel, whereas saline implants allow adjustable volume and smaller incisions.
