Deciding on Your Breast Implant Options
Choosing breast implants involves several key decisions that go beyond just size. Each choice plays a critical role in achieving your desired look. Here’s a breakdown of the most important factors to consider:
Shape
- Round Implants: Best for those seeking a fuller, more lifted appearance. They offer more upper breast fullness and are a popular choice for a more dramatic look.
- Teardrop (Anatomical) Implants: Intended to mimic the natural slope of the breast, this type of implant is ideal for those looking for a subtle, natural appearance.
Size
Implants are measured in cubic centimeters (cc), and the size you choose will significantly influence your overall look. Even a small difference in size can have a big impact. At Salzman Cosmetic Surgery & Spa, we use advanced imaging technology to help you visualize different sizes and select the one that complements your body best.
Type
- Saline Implants: Filled with sterile salt water, saline implants offer a firmer feel and can be adjusted during surgery for a custom fit. They are typically more affordable and require a smaller incision for placement.
- Silicone Implants: Containing a gel that closely mimics natural breast tissue, silicone implants are favored for their softer texture and more natural appearance, making them a popular choice for those seeking a realistic look and feel.
Placement
- Above the Muscle (Subglandular): This placement offers a quicker recovery time and is ideal for those with sufficient natural breast tissue.
- Below the Muscle (Submuscular): This placement provides a more natural look and minimizes the risk of certain complications, making it a popular choice for many patients.
Each option should be considered in consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon, who can offer personalized recommendations based on your body type, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals.
