Over filled to reduce rippling, which saline is wont to do apparently. I had planned on silicon gel, and in fact only made a consultation appointment becuase it was finally FDA approved for cosmetic use (I thought about doing it for years). I felt both kinds of implants at the appointment and was shocked by the difference. The silicon felt like a boob - the saline felt like a ziplock bag with water in it. There's just no comparison, even with the silicon being about $1K more.
They tell you to plan to have them replaced in 10 years. Some last longer, some people have problems sooner. The cohesive gels (that arent approved yet) apparently last much longer. From my understanding, the subsequent surgeries are much easier to recover from becuase the dissection/pocket is already done.

All true. Wife got her fun bags last Thursday. Silicone. New stuff. If Momma's happy, I am happy.
