How To Choose Implants For Your Breast Augmentation Surgery

Breast augmentation surgeries are operations in which the size of breasts are increased and their shapes can be changed with the help of various implants. One of the important decision-making stages related to breast augmentation surgeries is the selection of implants. The majority of the decision on implant selection belongs to the patient. But of course, the surgeon who will perform the surgery also has a great contribution. Each patient has a different anatomy, and this is a major factor in choosing implants for a breast augmentation. In accordance with the wishes of the patient, the surgeon will assess the needs of the patient and inform them about the options in mutual understanding.

Each patient has a different anatomy and different tissue structure, with different potentials. Therefore, breast implant selection cannot be uniform. Even in the same patient, implants with different sizes can be used due to asymmetry between the two breasts. The amount and distribution of the breast tissue is a factor in choosing implants for the desired results. It is important to know what type and size of implants will be effective in providing the desired results. The size is as important as the shape. There can be implants that are smaller than others but have more projection and a more prominent appearance. There are two types of implants known generally by people. Teardrop shaped and round implants. Some new generation implants developed in the last years have more dynamism like natural breast tissue. They can change shape according to the movements and position of the body. For example, when the person is standing, these implants may be in the teardrop form, whereas when the person is laying down, they take a round shape as if natural breasts would be. All of these factors affect the decision when choosing implants and taking them into account can help breast augmentation surgery results be much more natural and pleasant.

The patient’s lifestyle can also be a factor when choosing implants. For example, a person with intense physical activity in their life and/or who is interested in upper body focused sports should make a choice by taking into account whether their movements would be limited by the implants they choose.

To summarize, choosing implants is an issue that the patient and the doctor should decide together. At the stage of implant selection, the patient will make their decision in a much more beneficial way after being examined physically, informing the doctor about their goals and being informed by their doctor about the options.
