What's the worst thing to happen to breast implants in modern history? First, it was the silicone moratorium of 1992 that scared women half to death unnecessarily. More recently, it is the ad nausea coverage of Anna Nicole’s melon-sized implants that she built her career on. Enough already – I don't care who the father of her baby is! But I would like to know who her plastic surgeon was, if only to be sure that I never refer any of my clients to him!

Big, round, fake-looking implants are so yesterday. Today's woman wants a natural look that suits her frame, body type and fashion sense, and doesn't attract the wrong kind of attention. The bigger the implant, the more problems you can have too. If you stick with a reasonable size – depending on your height, bone structure, and the width of your shoulders and hips – you can have a great-looking shape that looks like you were born with it.

Silicone versus saline? No contest! My clients prefer silicone gels for the look, feel, and durability they offer.
