Breast Implant Types and How To Choose Right Breast Implant

Breast implant procedures, are one of the most preferred aesthetic operations in recent years. Sometimes it can be preferred due to aesthetic concerns, sometimes due to postpartum sagging, and sometimes as a requirement after breast cancer treatment. While the developments in the field of breast implants are rapidly increasing in direct proportion to the interest in this subject, we have prepared our article on breast implants and how to choose the right breast implant for you.

Breast implant size, is the most influential factor in how implants will affect your appearance. First, it is important to know that breast implant sizes are not the same as bra cup sizes. Breast implants are measured in volume, usually in cubic centimeters (cc) or milliliters. The more cc or milliliters an implant has, the bigger it is.

What are the Breast Implant Types?

Breast implants, can be round or drop-shaped. Round implants have a symmetrical shape and provide the same level of fullness all over the breast. The teardrop shape has more volume in the lower half, which gives more fullness to the breast area under the nipple.

While breasts with drop-shaped implants have a more natural appearance, round implanted breasts are much fuller on the top and have more outward protrusion. Although round implants generally look less natural than drop-shaped implants, they provide a more apparent that most women prefer.

How to Choose the Right Breast Implant?

Since every woman's breast features and size are different from each other, there is no ideal correctness for a breast implant. You can act according to your own breast features by considering the following tips:

If you have a narrow chest or a small frame, the implants you can fit securely and comfortably are limited in size. Therefore, even if you are limited to small diameter implants, you can still opt for high profile implants to achieve greater fullness.

Do you want it to look natural or have a more dramatic look? It is usually better to choose smaller implants with a medium profile or teardrop shape if you like natural-looking breasts.

If there is sagging in your existing breasts, you can choose larger implants to provide the necessary volume. However, you may prefer to have a breast lift in addition to implants.

If your natural breasts are too small and you don't have a lot of breast tissue, huge implants may not be suitable. There is a risk that the implant contours may be visible under your skin.

If you have a very active lifestyle or are doing high-impact exercise, having larger implants can make exercise difficult.

When choosing your implant, you should discuss the options with your surgeon and consider his (or her) recommendations about size and shape.

If necessary, references can be taken from people who have previously undergone the operation. While deciding on the operation, the specialist doctor should accurately evaluate the patient's history, future expectations, and current health problems.
