One of the most common questions I get during consultation is, or not even in consultation, sometimes on the street or out at a restaurant is what's best? Saline best? Silicone best? All these are really good questions. The way that I like to answer that question is, you really have to feel them. That's part of the reason why during my consultation. I let my patients feel them. They grab them, they squeeze the implants, they try them on. Not only for the size, but the texture. The texture of a silicone implant, a gel implant, is very different than what a saline implant feels like. Now, does that mean it's going to feel completely different when it's underneath, in your body? Not necessarily. Believe it or not, there's not a whole lot of difference. Silicone, however, does edge it out. I think silicone, and my patients will agree, silicone has a much more natural feel, and it looks more natural. Saline, on the other hand, is a little bit more tense and because it's essentially a balloon that's filled up. However, in 99% of patients, it's so difficult to tell the difference between saline versus silicone. So, it really becomes a choice for the patient. I can lead them down the road, but I will never make the decision for them. That decision is for them and them alone because it's their body, and if they want silicone, I think it's perfectly safe, perfectly natural and it's a wonderful choice. If they want saline, I think it as perfectly safe, perfectly natural, and it's a wonderful choice. So that's something-- I really allow my patients to make that decision.
