The Benefits of Saline
Yes, we’re guilty of knocking saline filled implants for the obvious reasons: they don’t feel as natural as silicone cohesive gel and they tend to ripple or wrinkle – which is visible when little breast tissue exists.
But saline breast implants do feature some traits that are better.
1. Saline implants are usually filled after they’re placed inside the breasts. This means that the incision is usually smaller, making the resulting scar smaller, too. Plus, incision placement can be discreetly placed in the armpit (which is where Beyonce is rumored to have hers).
2. Too big or too small? No problem. A minor adjustment in size may be made after surgery. The implant is simply filled or drained to the desired size.
3. A major concern with breast implants is the risk of rupture. While silicone cannot be absorbed safely by the body, saline can. This is one of the key benefits.
4. And when it does rupture, you’ll be able to notice it right away. This is considered a good thing, since you can deal with the problem asap. Silicone implants need to be monitored annually with an MRI to ensure they haven’t ruptured.
5. Saline is cheaper. We’re talking about the chance to save about a grand. Although money shouldn’t be a prime concern when thinking about undergoing breast augmentation, it is still something to consider.
