The implants are varying in according to materials and patients’ expectations. Considering the different functions Saline and Silicone Implants both covered with the protecting shell.
Saline Implants: Saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater. Your surgeon will fill in the implant once it’s been inserted in place. Women age 18 and older then would be suitable for saline implant.

These types of implants are pre-filled with silicone gel which can be more appropriate for a long-lasting result. Silicone Breast Implants are convenient to women age 22 and older to women of any age.
