Q: Are Saline Implants Safer than Silicone Implants?Saline implants carry many of the same risks as silicone implants, so it is impossible to judge which is safer. The Food and Drug Administration warns that, “like their silicone counterparts, saline breast implants can rupture, ripple, harden, change shape and shift position. They can also cause infection, pain and loss of feeling in the nipple or tissue of the breast. And they can interfere with breast-feeding and the detection of breast cancer.” | |
