Like most countries, there are  two types of breast implants in India that can be considered which are silicone or saline implants. 

So, what is the difference between them?

Silicone implants, with silicone-filled gel is similar to the feel of human fat and is a more popular choice than saline implants, which consists of saline water. While the saline implants are placed inside the body and then filled with saline water, silicone implants are pre-filled with silicone gel.

2. To avoid complications, there may be some additional operations required as well.
3. The cost may not be covered by any health insurance policy available.
