From the LAT on breast augmentation:

In the years since the moratorium, most of the implants used in this country have been filled with saline, although silicone implants are still available to women who've had a mastectomy, who are part of a clinical study or who are replacing implants. Teitelbaum says most women have concluded that the benefits outweigh the risks. Women will have no qualms about choosing the cosmetically superior silicone implants for augmentation should the FDA lift the moratorium, he and other plastic surgeons say. More than 90% of women in Europe, where both silicone and saline are available, choose silicone. Many women seeking augmentation are annoyed that the matter is still being debated. Silicone implants simply look more natural and feel better than the saline versions, they say. Even if the FDA maintains the moratorium, it probably won't slow the pace of augmentations. The 2003 survey found that 94% of augmentation recipients would recommend the procedure to friends or family. As for Okoth, she's prepared. If the moratorium is continued, she'll probably fly to Brazil to undergo augmentation surgery there. Silicone implants are legal in that country. "But I should be able to make the choice," Okoth says. "And everything I've read says silicone is better."
