How to Choose a Breast Implant

You’ve decided to enhance your contour with breast enlargement, and now it’s time to decide what type of breast implant you should use. Thanks to modern technology and design progress, there are more options today than ever before. The materials, textures and shapes available make it possible for women undergoing breast enlargement to achieve very natural-looking results — and results that truly complement their own unique sense of femininity.


Different Implants for Different Goals

Every woman has a very personal idea of what her perfect breast shape might look like. The breast implant you choose will depend on your specific augmentation goals. During your initial consultation with a cosmetic surgeon, share all of your breast surgery goals and ask for recommendations. Make sure your physician goes over the advantages and disadvantages of various options, so you have a realistic idea of how they perform and can make an informed decision. You may even want to bring in some magazine clipping showcasing your ideal breast contour.

How Do I Choose The Right Size For Me?

At your consultation, your plastic surgeon will be able to help you make an appropriate decision regarding what size implant you should consider. The answer depends on many different factors, but the main component I consider is the dimensions of your current breast. It is logical to use an implant size whose dimensions will match your current breast so that your natural breast tissue can completely cover the implant and help maintain a long-lasting, natural appearing result. Even when staying within your natural breast dimensions, you will find that there will be a range of sizes for you to choose from – so you can truly tailor the operation to your specific desire.

Your Ideal Shape

From an overall standpoint, your breast enlargement surgeon should strive to create a more pleasing breast, paying close attention to shape, balance, and proportion. While it would appear that there are so many different shapes, material, and contours to choose from, I and most other plastic surgeons find that a smooth surfaced, round implant filled with either saline or silicone is your best option. After a comprehensive overview, your cosmetic surgeon can help you choose the implant that will give you the results you’re looking for.
