Following some key tips can help you make the best choice when selecting breast implants.
Consider Your Desired Size
The size of the implants is one of the most important decisions, especially if you are planning for breast augmentation. Dr. Krummen will measure your chest width and take into account your natural breast tissue to recommend a range of implant sizes.
It’s important to balance your desired appearance with a size that feels natural and complements your body shape.
Choose Between Saline and Silicone
There are two types of breast implants: saline and silicone. Saline implants are filled with sterilized salt water. They are entered empty and subsequently filled once in situ, resulting in smaller incisions.
Silicone implants, on the other hand, come pre-filled with a gel that feels similar to genuine breast tissue. They provide a more realistic appearance and feel, but require a wider incision for installation.
Regular MRI or ultrasound check-ups are necessary for silicone implants to ensure they remain intact.
Think About Shape and Profile
Breast implants come in different shapes: round or teardrop (anatomical). Round implants provide more fullness at the top of the breast, offering a bolder look.
Teardrop-shaped implants offer a more natural slope, closely mimicking the contour of a natural breast. However, they are more likely to rotate, potentially affecting their appearance.
