What Do You Think Of Saline Breast Implants?

Saline implants, which, as its name suggests, are filled with salt water instead of silicone. And unlike silicone breast implants, saline breast implants can be inserted empty into the body, then filled with saline according to what size breast the patient wants.

Saline implants have since become the most common implants used in the United States, partly because of the ban on silicone implants implemented by the FDA in 1992.

The ban stemmed from a study conducted by the FDA, where the government body determined that breast implants could possibly be linked to both breast cancer and connective tissue disease (CTD).

Earlier and subsequent studies also made claims that the silicone breast implants caused systemic health problems.

The FDA, however, lifted the ban on silicone breast implant ban in November 2006 after studies found they were safe.
