Types of Implants Used in Breast Augmentation

One of the important factors in getting natural and good results regarding breast augmentation operations is the implants used. There are various implants that can be used in breast augmentation surgeries. Many factors such as th quality of the implants, the material, the type, and shape of the implants can affect the result of a breast augmentation surgery. Choosing implants that are suitable for the anatomy of the person who will have breast augmentation surgery and implants that have a higher potential to give the targeted result will be more efficient.

Although there are many types of implants, mainly saline (sterile salt water filled) and silicone implants are used. New generation silicone implants, which have been developed in recent years and are increasingly used, positively affect the results of breast augmentation operations.

As the body moves, naturally the breasts move and change shape. This can be expressed as the dynamism of the breasts. These new generation implants can be very effective for people who is to have a breast augmentation surgery who wish to maintain this natural dynamism. There are generally two types of implant shapes known. Tear drop shaped and round shaped. These new generation implants that have been developed have a dynamic structure similar to the natural breast structure. They can change shape according to the movement and position of the body they are in. For example, these implants can be more tear drop-shaped when the person is standing, and while when the person is in a horizontal position, they can take a round shape as if a natural breast would. These factors can make the results of breast augmentation surgeries look more natural and pleasant.

Basically, it can be said that the decision about choosing implants for each patient should be made individually. The type, volume, consistency of the implants should be determined according to elements such as the patient’s anatomy, patient’s height, weight, shoulder and breast width, existing breast tissue, consistency and firmness.
