Top 3 Tips For Choosing The Right Breast Implants
Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgery that uses silicone or saline implants to help patients achieve the breast size they’ve always wanted. For the safest and most natural results, you must work closely with an experienced plastic surgeon who can help you choose the correct type and size of breast implant for your body and needs.
Some factors that will be taken into consideration include:
- Your lifestyle and physical activity
- Body shape and size
- Existing breast size and shape
- Amount of ptosis of existing breasts
One on One Consultation to Choose Your Breast Implants
During a consultation, your plastic surgeon will measure your chest and breast size, as well as your height and weight, to help you decide which breast implant will fit your existing proportions and give you natural and beautiful results.
Choosing The Right Breast Implants: What You Need to Think About
Apart from carefully selecting your plastic surgeon, choosing the right type of breast implant is one of the most important decisions you’ll make regarding your breast augmentation.
1. Size
While breast augmentation is for patients who want bigger breasts, you must select a size that matches your figure. Think about:
- Body type: If you are a lean person with small breasts, you want to avoid very large-sized implants because this may lead to implant rippling.
- Body shape: Women with a strong build can easily carry large-sized breasts. However, some lean women may suffer from back pain if their implants are too big. Your plastic surgeon can help determine what size is appropriate for your body shape.
Future Pregnancy
Remember, during pregnancy, the breasts may expand a few sizes. Therefore, the desired implant size may be chosen more easily after you have no plans for another pregnancy.
2. Material
The choice between silicone and saline is inevitably one of the decisions you will have to make when getting breast implants. Both have their pros/cons and the choice will depend on your individual needs and goals.

3. Profile
The profile of a breast implant refers to the distance an implant will project forward from your chest wall. A low profile implant is very flat, while a higher profile implant will protrude forward and create a more prominent breast.
To help determine which profile is right for you, your plastic surgeon will consider:
- The existing size and shape of your body and breasts
- Your breast width
- Your aesthetic goals and the look that you desire
