The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently broke from its own scientific advisers and decided not to approve silicone breast implants. The FDA wants more information about what happens when breast implants break or leak. Silicone implants were mostly banned in 1992 over fears they caused autoimmune diseases like lupus. But women and doctors like silicone implants because they look and feel more natural than saline implants.
We asked our community to weigh in on the subject and tell us their experiences. (You can give us your opinion here.)
This is what some of them had to say. (Letters have been edited for clarity in some cases.)

Saline vs. silicone:
I had saline implants done by a top surgeon. I had them removed, as they felt exactly like what they were -- bags of water in my chest. The FDA (and surgeons that hype saline as feeling like breast tissue just to make a buck) cost me two unnecessary surgeries. Silicone feels like breast tissue, not a bag of water. Go to any plastic surgeon and feel both, as there is NO comparison. -- posted by Sandy, AZ
