Thinking about a breast enlargement? Here<br />
are the 5 most crucial aspects of breast<br />
implant surgery you need to know.<br />

Implant<br />
shape<br />
Choosing the right shape of breast implants is vital to the success of your surgery.<br />
Indeed, your choice of round, teardrop or conical will help determine your final<br />
breast shape after surgery.<br />
Choosing the right implant for you is dependent on your existing breast size,<br />
shape, symmetry <strong>and</strong> projection, body type, <strong>and</strong> your personal preferences.<br />
There is no one breast implant shape that is best for everyone. Your surgeon<br />
is the best resource for determining what breast implant is best for you <strong>and</strong> your<br />
body type.<br />
Round <strong>and</strong> teardrop implants are most commonly used, however conical<br />
implants are becoming more popular to help fill an ‘empty’ chest in certain cases.<br />
Round implants<br />
Round implants are circular with an even projection of volume. They are a good<br />
choice for those who want more fullness in the upper part of the breast <strong>and</strong> tend<br />
to give greater cleavage. Many surgeons agree round implants are typically the<br />
best choice for those patients with well-shaped natural breasts who desire a<br />
straightforward breast enhancement.<br />
Teardrop implants<br />
Teardrop, or anatomical, implants more closely resemble the natural shape of a<br />
breast, gradually sloping downwards to produce an attractive straight line from<br />
the collarbone to the nipple. Teardrop implants tend not to be as full as round<br />
implants but because they are fuller in the lower half they can also provide greater<br />
projection in proportion to the size of the base, making them particularly suitable<br />
for women with little natural breast tissue. Mild elevation of the breast <strong>and</strong> the<br />
nipple can also be achieved, making them particularly suitable for women who<br />
have mild droopy or tuberous breasts.<br />
Conical implants<br />
While not as well-known as round <strong>and</strong> teardrop shapes, the conical implant is<br />
gaining popularity for its ability to add volume to both the upper <strong>and</strong> lower poles<br />
of the breast while also creating a good elevation of the breast <strong>and</strong> nipple to<br />
counter ptosis or droopiness.<br />
It is essential that the right amount of volume, or fill, is selected – otherwise<br />
there is a risk the breasts will end up with a pointy appearance. They are available<br />
in polyurethane surface only.<br />
