saline implants
Saltwater breast prostheses
Saline implants are breast implants filled with sterile saltwater solution.
Unlike silicone implants, they're inserted empty and filled after placement, allowing smaller incisions.
They've been used in cosmetic breast augmentation and reconstruction since the 1960s: She opted for saline implants because she worried about silicone leaks.
If ruptured, the body safely absorbs the saline.
