There are a lot of different cosmetic surgery procedures available to those wanting to change something about their body, but breast augmentation continues to be one of the most popular. When you consider just how much of a difference a breast augmentation can make, it’s easy to see why the procedure is such a common one. Thanks to developments in implant technology and the skill of surgeons, thousands of women undergo successful breast augmentations each and every year. Though the procedure itself is a relatively straightforward one, there are some things to consider before ahead. Namely, you will need to choose the ideal breast implant for you. Dr. Frati Reviews all implants before starting an procedure.
Things to Consider When Choosing a Breast Implant
- Should You Choose Saline or Silicone? – The first thing to decide is whether you want to opt for a saline or silicone breast implant. Whereas saline implants are filled with a liquid saline solution, silicone implants are filled with a silicone gel. Silicone implants are a newer and more recently developed type of implant, and a lot of people consider silicone implants to look and feel more natural. However, a similar look can be achieved using saline implants in women with a lot of breast tissue.
- What Profile Are You Hoping For? – Once you have chosen the type of breast implant, you need to think about the profile of the implant. This refers to how much the implant protrudes from the chest, seen as a side view. Though larger implants do tend to have a more noticeable profile, there are a lot of variables and you are free to choose a profile that you like the look of.
- How Big Are You Going to Go? – After the implant type and profile has been decided, it’s time to think about general breast size. With a breast augmentation, it’s possible to create breasts that are much larger than you have naturally. However, it’s important to choose a size that works for your body shape to avoid looking out of proportion. With 3D imaging, it’s possible to see how different size implants will look on your body.
