Question: I'm a men looking to get breast without paying a lot of money can I do saline without problems
Brief Answer:
FDA has not improved the saline implants for males.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXX, Hi
Good morning!
The FDA has approved saline-filled breast implants for breast augmentation ONLY in women age 18 or older and for breast reconstruction in women of any age.
There are safety concerns like implant rupture with deflation, wrinkling, asymmetry, scarring, pain, and bacterial or fungal infection.
So, a cosmetic/plastic surgeon opinion is recommended regarding their use in men.

Good luck.
