Choosing the right type of implant for Breast Enlargement is a critical decision that significantly impacts the final results. Understanding the differences between round and anatomical implants can help you make an informed choice that aligns with your cosmetic goals and lifestyle.
Round implants
Round implants are the more traditional choice for Breast Enlargement. As the name suggests, they have a uniform, spherical shape that provides a fuller look, particularly in the upper part of the breast. Here are some key features and benefits of round implants:
Symmetry: Round implants offer symmetrical results, making them a popular choice for women seeking a balanced appearance.
Fullness: These implants provide a more pronounced fullness in the upper part of the breast, which can be particularly beneficial for women looking to achieve a more voluptuous look.
Movement: Since round implants are symmetrical, they do not pose a risk of rotation within the breast pocket, ensuring a consistent shape and appearance over time.
Versatility: Round implants can be placed above or below the muscle, offering flexibility in achieving the desired look.
Predictable results: Because of their uniform shape, the outcomes with round implants are highly predictable, making them a reliable choice for many patients.
Anatomical implants
Anatomical implants, also known as teardrop implants, are designed to mimic the natural shape of the breast, with more volume at the bottom and a gentle slope towards the top. Here are some key features and benefits of anatomical implants:
Natural shape: Anatomical implants offer a more natural breast shape, which can be particularly appealing for women seeking subtle enhancement.
Versatility: These implants come in a variety of shapes and sizes, allowing for more customised results based on the individual's body type and aesthetic goals.
Lower fullness: Anatomical implants provide more fullness in the lower part of the breast, creating a natural-looking contour that mimics the natural breast shape.
Enhanced projection: The teardrop shape of anatomical implants can provide enhanced projection at the bottom, creating a more natural silhouette.
Texture: Anatomical implants often have a textured surface to help prevent rotation and ensure they stay in the correct position.
Making the right choice
The decision between round and anatomical implants should be based on your personal preferences, body type, and the desired outcome of your Breast Enlargement surgery. At a free, no obligation consultation your surgeon can discuss the benefits and drawbacks of each placement to help you make an informed decision based on your cosmetic surgery goals.
Here are some factors to consider when making your decision:
Body type: Your surgeon will assess your body type, breast tissue, and chest wall dimensions to determine which implant type will provide the best results based on your cosmetic surgery aspirations.
Desired look: Consider whether you prefer a more natural look or a fuller, rounder appearance. Your aesthetic goals will play a significant role in the choice of implant.
Lifestyle: Active individuals might prefer round implants due to their durability and lower risk of rotation.
Surgical technique: Different implants may require different surgical techniques. Discussing these with your surgeon can help you understand the implications of each choice.
Trying implants: During your consultation, trying implants with a sports bra is a practical way to make an informed decision about Breast Enlargement. This approach allows you to visualise how different sizes and shapes will look, feel the weight and fit for everyday comfort, and provide real-time feedback to your surgeon. Comparing implants side-by-side helps you choose the best option, ensuring a satisfying outcome from your surgery.
