While your surgeon can listen your desires and select these option for you, knowing these options beforehand and discussing them with your surgeon certainly makes a difference. You will not only have large breasts but the breasts of your dreams.

Breast implant size:

 

Breast implant size is commonly measured in cubic centimeters, referred to as cc. The higher the cc, the larger the implant will be. For example, a 350cc implant is larger than a 250cc implant. It is easy to describe your desired size to your surgeon, and he can suggest an appropriate size. You can experiment with different implant sizes with an interesting method – rice test. Rice test is an interesting way to experiment with different implant sizes at home.

Breast implant profiles

 

In addition to the cc, breast implants have different profiles. The profile refers to the level of forward projection of the breast from the wall of the chest. In other words, it is the distance the implant will project from your chest. Different implant manufacturers have slightly different profiles.

Round implants are most commonly used for breast augmentation and reconstruction. They are available in both saline and silicone fillers.

 

Different surgeons have different views about the use of round implants. Some surgeons believe that they produce less natural look as compared to anatomical shaped implants. Others argue that round implants take the natural breast shape due to gravity. Anatomical, or teardrop, implants are said to have a more natural look as compared to round implants. They tend to have more fullness near the bottom of the breast, with less fullness in the upper pole. They have a gentle slope at the top and more fullness at the bottom.

Breast implant textures

 

There are two types of implants in this regard, smooth and textured. Texture allows the implant to attach itself to the muscle and tissue wall. The shell of textured implant is thicker than smooth shell implant. Studies are still going on to evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of textured implants. Textured implants are firmer to the touch than smooth implants. They are known to cause traction rippling, when the implant pulls on the tissue it is attached to causing indentation. Usually, anatomical implants come with textured surface to prevent implant rotation inside the pocket.
