Breast Implants: Options and Considerations
In the consultation, the appropriate implant is chosen based on body size, shape, and desired results. Implants come in various shapes, sizes, profiles, and textures, carefully considered to achieve the desired outcome. The most common choices are silicone or saline implants, both FDA-approved for use. Gummy bear implants and fat grafting offer alternative augmentation methods. Other crucial factors for decision-making include:
Size:
Determined by the volume of saline or silicone used, considering existing breast tissue and desired size.
Shape:
Implants come in teardrop or round shapes. Most patients opt for a round shape for a natural appearance.
Profile:
This refers to the implant's projection, ranging from low to extra high, visible from the side angle.
