18 Aug Everything you need to know about implants types. Choosing the right implants for your breast augmentation.

During breast augmentation consultation with Dr. Boudana at Forest Hill Private Plastic Surgery Clinic in Toronto, precise measurements will be taken of your breasts, including height, weight, volume, the position of the nipples and the amount of skin elasticity. The shape of your chest wall will be analysed, and your surgery may use a breast-torso ratio to identify the ideal size of breast implant best suited to your chest. There are several factors to consider when choosing implants.

Breast implant projection

Breast implant projection determines how far the implant protrudes outward from its base, or its height when placed on a table.

Dr. Boudana will offer personalized recommendations on the most appropriate implant profile to help you achieve optimal results. Breast implants come in various profiles, which help determine the overall projection of the breast. High-profile implants are popular in Canada and are more likely to appear perkier. Low-profile implants are more suitable for women who want a more discreet breast augmentation.

Implant surface texture

Breast implants come in both smooth and textured varieties. The surface texture is related to the outer implant shell, which is the implant’s surface; this is what patience can generally expect to feel under the skin.

Implant shape – round or teardrop?

The shape of breast implants is another factor to consider when choosing the right breast implant. Breast implants can be round or anatomical (teardrop-shaped). For women with moderate pre-existing breast tissue, it can be difficult to determine whether breast augmentation has been performed with round or teardrop-shaped implants. Most surgeons cannot tell the difference, as a well-executed breast augmentation produces natural results. Over time, the breasts will adopt a natural teardrop shape.

Many patients choose teardrop-shaped implants to increase the augmented breast’s height and achieve better contrast between the upper and lower parts of the breast. The versatility of anatomical implants makes them a popular option for many patients, depending on the appearance they wish to achieve. Teardrop-shaped implants aim to follow the natural profile of the breast. In most cases, round implants can produce results just as natural as teardrop-shaped implants, provided the right location for the breast implant is chosen. The skin of the breast and its elasticity can considerably impact the choice of implant size and shape. Some patients may require a breast lift or breast lift with implants to correct sagging breast skin.
