Newport Beach Breast Surgery – Implant
Most breast implant surgery is performed with either an anatomically shaped implant or a round implant. When considering having Newport Beach Breast Surgery you will consult with your surgeon the benefits of each but, for information purposes, we’ll discuss the differences here.
Round Implants
The round breast implant is, as the name implies, round. The round breast implant was design specifically for breast augmentation purposes. The implant will have either a smooth or textured surface and be filled with either silicone or saline. The round implant moves freely in the cavity created by the surgeon and while the shape is completely round when laid on a table, if held up as it would be if a patient were standing it takes on a more natural and anatomically correct shape. The round implant is less expensive than the anatomical implant.
Anatomical/Contoured Implant
The anatomical implant was initially designed for reconstruction purposes but has become common in the augmentation market. As the name implies, they have a more natural shape in that they have more mass at the bottom. This difference in shape however can cause serious issues with appearance for obvious reasons if the implant “flips” or turns over. For this reason is it highly recommended that you be certain your Newport Beach Breast Surgery doctor has experience placing this type of implant.
As mentioned before, both shapes are available in silicon or saline filled and smooth or textured surface. There are pros and cons to all of the options and you can find people who prefer each one. Your Newport Beach Breast Surgery specialist will discuss all of your options with you and help you find the implant to fill your needs.
