Saline water has a relatively high concentration of dissolved salts. Salt is not just "salt" as we know it - sodium chloride (NaCl) - but can be dissolved calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+) sulfate (S042-), bicarbonate (HC03-) and Boron (B).

Most breast implants will allow for additional saline to be added (or removed) after surgery. This is a simple office procedure, and can be done under local anesthetic. The price for this varies from surgeon to surgeon, so you will need to ask your doctor what his/her fee is. However, the Mentor High Profile saline breast implants, Mentor Spectrum Expandable, and Mentor Becker Expandable breast implants cannot have saline added or removed once the fill port is taken out.

Yes. Irrigation water that is suitable for one soil may not be for another. Use of saline and/or sodic water for irrigation can be risky business on soils predominated by silt or clay. Just 1 acre-foot of moderately saline irrigation water (EC = 3 dS/m - the upper end of suitability for irrigation water) will introduce 1.8 tons of salt to an acre of land. Soluble salts do not leach as readily through fine textured soils as through sandy soils.

Saline breast implants require a smaller incision for placement and they are less expensive than the silicone breast implants. If the saline implant ruptures your breast will appear deflated and your body will absorb the saline.

Saline implants are filled with a “Normal Saline” solution which is basically sterilized water with added sodium chloride (salt). Should the implant rupture or leak, this saline solution, just like water, would be absorbed completely by your body. Silicone implants are filled with a silicone gel and are currently utilized only under guidelines set by the FDA as part of a long term study of their safety.

The recent FDA approval of silicone gel implants gives women more implant options than ever. Many patients report silicone gel implants feel more like natural breasts and many physicians prefer them for that same reason. Saline implants are time-tested and have advantages as well.

And, don't forget that Dr. Stevens or Dr. Stoker will give you plenty of information in your consultation and assist you in making the right choice.

If silicone implants get back on the market, the vast majority of surgeons will use them over saline. Studies have demonstrated their safety profile, and the feel of silicone implants, in most patients, is simply more natural than with saline. Silicone implants are the most common implant used outside of the United States.

Water is classified as "saline" when it becomes a risk for growth and yield of crops. Saline water has a relatively high concentration of dissolved salts (cations and anions). Salt is not just "salt" as we know it - sodium chloride (NaCl) - but can be dissolved calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), sulfate (SO42-), bicarbonate (HCO3-), Boron (B), and other compounds.

Several types of salt may be used; table salt, kosher salt, and sea salt are very common. We also offer a very fine granulated salt on our site that is preservative free and contains no additives or anti-caking components, which can cause irritation or burning. It is a very clean salt that is preferred by many of our patrons. Special saline solutions are not necessary as we provide you with the 1/4 measure to create a precise solution in your Narial Nasal Cup?.

A hypertonic saline solution buffered with baking soda is more agreeable for nasal rinsing than if it is unbuffered. It supports the cleansing function of the nasal mucous membrane, i. e. the mucociliary clearance which is the mucus transport system. For a very mild, buffered hypertonic rinsing solution you put one, or one heaped measuring spoonful of salt per rinsing pot filling into the nasal rinsing pot and then add about half a measuring spoonful of baking soda.

Overall silicone implants are softer and feel more natural than saline implants. In addition, silicone implants are much more expensive than their saline counterparts.

No, many women will continue to feel more comfortable with saline implants over silicone. Saline implants have been used almost exclusively over the past 14 years and have done very well. They remain a good option. This is especially true for women who have a fair amount of natural breast tissue. In these women the difference in feel becomes much less significant. Silicone implant approval simply means that women have a choice.

The new cohesive gel silicone implants are generally thought to feel more natural than saline filled implants. There is clear scientific evidence that silicone is safe to use. However I will discuss the pros and cons of all the implants with you and the final choice is yours.

It can be effective, but carefully question your surgeon regarding his/her surgical plan. Do as much research as possible. The more incisions that are placed during implant surgery, particularly below the nipple, and on the inferior breast, the greater the chances of complications. I would be very wary of this type of "combined" surgery, particularly with a vertical or infra-mammary incision. Most breast surgeons do not agree, avoid these implants, and have had many problems with them.

The women who benefit the most from the improved feel and decreased rippling of silicone implants are women with little natural breast tissue. These women do not have much tissue to cover the implant, therefore, the feel of the implant becomes very important.
