1. Understand Your Body Type
Your natural frame, including shoulder width, chest width, breast base diameter, and skin elasticity, plays a significant role in implant selection. For example, petite women may benefit from smaller, moderate-profile implants that offer natural volume without appearing disproportionate. At the same time, those with broader chests may be better suited for high-profile implants for added projection.
2. Choose the Right Implant Size
Implants are measured in cc (cubic centimeters), not bra sizes. A small difference in cc can make a noticeable visual change. Your surgeon will help you try different sizers or 3D imaging to visualize outcomes. Keep your lifestyle in mind; active individuals often prefer smaller implants to avoid interference with physical activities.
3. Consider Implant Shape and Profile
Breast implants come in round or anatomical (teardrop) shapes. Round implants typically provide more fullness at the top of the breast, and teardrop implants mimic the natural slope of the breast. Profile, meaning how far the implant projects from the chest wall, ranges from low to ultra-high. The right profile depends on your aesthetic goals and chest dimensions.
4. Think About Placement and Material
Implants can be placed above or below the chest muscle. Submuscular placement tends to give a more natural look, while subglandular placement can mean a quicker recovery. Additionally, you’ll choose between saline and silicone implants. Both are FDA-approved, but silicone tends to feel more natural.
5. Consult a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon
Ultimately, your surgeon’s expertise is crucial. A skilled, board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Dunkley will guide you through all your options, taking your goals, anatomy, and lifestyle into account.
