Which Breast Implant Feels Most Natural? - Dr. Lebovic (VIDEO)

Dr. Lebovic:

Well, some people believe that it is the implant that makes the breast feel a certain way after augmentation, but in reality and I have done many augmentations and I have seen many women who have had them. In reality, the most important thing is how the surgery is done and where that implant is placed. The implant is underneath the muscle. It is much more difficult to feel the difference between a saline and a gel implant. So, you can get excellent results with saline implants as long as they are placed underneath the muscle.
