How to Choose the Right Breast Augmentation Procedure for You
Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures year after year, offering women the opportunity to enhance their breast size and shape, boost their confidence, and achieve their aesthetic goals. However, with numerous options available, choosing the right breast augmentation procedure can be overwhelming. At Salas Plastic Surgery in Miami, we are dedicated to helping you make an informed decision that aligns with your desires and needs. Here’s a convenient guide to help you choose the right breast augmentation procedure for you. It’s always best to consult with your board certified plastic surgeon to help choose the best option to achieve your goals.
- Understand Your Goals and Expectations
Before diving into the different types of breast augmentation procedures, it’s essential to clearly define your goals and expectations. Are you looking to increase your breast size significantly, improve symmetry, restore lost volume after pregnancy or weight loss, or achieve a more youthful contour? Understanding your motivations will guide you in selecting the most suitable procedure.
- Types of Breast Implants
Silicone Implants
Silicone implants are filled with a cohesive silicone gel that closely mimics the feel of natural breast tissue. They are a popular choice due to their natural look and feel. Silicone implants are available in various shapes and sizes, providing a range of options to achieve your desired outcome. They are particularly beneficial for women with less volume of natural breast tissue.
Saline Implants
Saline implants are filled with sterile salt water. They are inserted empty and then filled once in place, and may allow for a smaller incision during surgery. While they offer a firmer feel compared to silicone implants, they are also adjustable, which can be advantageous for achieving symmetry. In the rare event of a rupture, the body safely absorbs the saline solution.
Gummy Bear Implants
Gummy bear implants, also known as form-stable implants, are made of a highly cohesive silicone gel that maintains its shape even if the implant shell is broken. These implants are firmer and often shaped to mimic the natural slope of the breast often called “teardrop” shape. Originally designed for breast reconstruction, they are ideal for women with minimal breast tissue seeking a more subtle natural-looking augmentation.
- Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation
For those seeking a milder natural enhancement, fat transfer breast augmentation is an option. This procedure involves harvesting fat from other areas of the body, such as the abdomen,back or thighs, and carefully injecting it into the breasts. Fat transfer offers a subtle increase in size and the added benefit of body contouring in the donor area. However, it is typically best suited for women looking for a modest enhancement.
- Consider Your Lifestyle and Preferences
Your lifestyle and personal preferences play a crucial role in determining the right breast augmentation procedure for you. For instance, if you lead an active lifestyle, you may prefer implants that provide a natural feel and do not interfere with physical activities. Additionally, consider factors such as the recovery time, and potential for future breast changes (e.g., pregnancy, breastfeeding), and follow up imaging and maintenance procedures as breast implants
