Breast Implants come in an extensive array of sizes, shapes, and materials. The broad variety available makes it easier than ever to customize your outcome and achieve very natural-looking and feeling results. Breast implants can enhance breast size through Breast Augmentation, of course, and they can also make breasts fuller and more symmetrical with a Breast Lift with Implants. Dr. Moises Salama, our board certified plastic surgeon, utilizes the most advanced implants available. He can help you determine the ideal implant type based on your anatomic characteristics, lifestyle, and desired effect. During your initial consultation, you and he will discuss your options and collaborate on a treatment plan tailored to your goals.
To better understand how breast implants can achieve your goals, it’s important to understand the various types of implants available and what each offers. Generally speaking, there are two categories of implant material: silicone and saline.
Many patients know right away what type of implant they want, but we encourage you to discuss your ideas, concerns, and goals with Dr. Salama. He can help determine which option is ideal for you based on a wide range of criteria.
Another factor you may have to consider is the implant shape and texture. Breast implants, including saline and silicone models, come in either smooth or textured versions. Dr. Salama can let you know which one is best for your needs and goals. As for shape, implants can be round or teardrop-shaped. The teardrop is intended to resemble the natural sloping shape of the female breast. Most shaped implants are silicone, and round implants can be either saline or silicone.
Selecting the right size is a very personal decision. You may only wish to increase your breast size a small amount to make this area more proportional with your body and to achieve a more feminine silhouette. Or you may wish to increase the size more dramatically. Whatever your cosmetic goals, we can help you decide which size implant to choose. We can also guide you in picking an implant profile. Profile, also called projection, is how far out from the body the implant projects. Some profiles are anatomically-shaped, with a sloping teardrop form, and others are round. Dr. Salama will review all your choices, explain them thoroughly, and provide advice throughout your initial consultation. We want your experience to be informative and comfortable from start to finish.
