Which Implant Option Is Right for My Breast Augmentation?

When it comes to choosing breast augmentation to achieve the silhouette of your dreams, there are many things to consider. Many women visit Dr. Moraitis with a size in mind, but the number of cc’s you choose for your breast implants isn’t the only thing that plays a part in choosing the right implant for your breast augmentation.

When you meet with Dr. Moraitis to discuss your breast augmentation, he will walk you through the various choices you’ll need to make in order to achieve the most natural-looking results, including the type of your breast implants, the shape of your breast implants, and the profile of your breast implants.

Types of Breast Implants

The type of breast implant you choose for your breast augmentation will have a great impact on the way your final results look and feel.

Silicone Breast Implants

This type of breast implant is the most popular among Dr. Moraitis’ Palm Harbor And Clearwater area breast augmentation patients because they feel more natural than saline implants. Additionally, if you have limited breast tissue, silicone breast implants are recommended because of the more natural look under the skin. 

Saline Breast Implants

This type of breast implant requires a shorter incision and can be filled to a precise size. Saline implants are ideal for breast augmentation patients who have asymmetrical breasts, or those who have adequate breast tissue, but want additional fullness.

Breast Implant Shape

After you choose the type of breast implant you want for your breast augmentation, you’ll need to consider their shape.

Round Breast Implants

Round breast implants are the most popular choice of women in the Palm Harbor And Clearwater area because they provide a fuller look and more cleavage. When you choose round breast implants, your breasts will be uniform in appearance, and less sloping will be present.

Teardrop (Shaped) Breast Implants

Teardrop implants are shaped like a teardrop and look more like natural breasts, as they are fuller at the bottom than at the top. Palm Harbor And Clearwater women who don’t want too much change (or added cleavage) may choose teardrop implants for a more natural look.

Breast Implant Profile

The breast implant profile refers to how far out the breast implant will project from the chest wall after your breast augmentation. The profile will vary from patient to patient, and appearance will depend on the body type of each individual.

Lower Profile Breast Implants

This profile type is flatter in appearance and will only project a small amount from the chest wall.

Moderate Profile Breast Implants

This profile type is the most natural-looking option for the majority of women in the Palm Harbor And Clearwater area, as it fits well on most body types.

Higher Profile Breast Implants

Women who have a small frame and narrow chest wall will have natural-looking results from this profile type. But because of its narrow base, it provides the most projection and may not look natural on everyone.
