Types of Breast Implants
Denver, Aurora, Lone Tree and Boulder, Colorado
Choosing the right breast implants for yourself is an important decision that you need to put a lot of thought and research into. Thorough and honest communication with your plastic surgeon will assure that you are making the most well-informed decision you can before receiving your breast implant surgery.
At his Denver, Colorado plastic surgery clinic, Dr. David Broadway places a lot of emphasis on doctor/patient communication. It is important for your surgeon to know exactly what you are looking for in order to determine what type of implant is right for you.
What look are you trying to achieve?
What type of breast implants you choose also depends on what your desired look after surgery is. Some questions to consider are:
- Do you want your breast implants to be an obvious or subtle change?
- What type of implant is going to give you the most natural look for your body structure?
- Do you want your breasts to have a rounded shape, or do you want them to have more natural contour and curve?
- What size do you feel would be most desirable to you? Your surgeon will recommend a size that is within the same range of diameter as your natural breasts. This will prevent your implants from shifting out of position.
Should you choose saline or silicone implants?
Both saline and silicone breast implants have features unique to their individual manufacturing. Which type you choose should be determined by which implant will best offer you the most natural and enhancing outcome to compliment your existing bodily features.
Saline implants
- Rupture resulting in leakage releases only salt water into the body
- Less expensive
- Slightly more flexibility in terms of controlling volume
- Pre-filled saline implants are comparable to a more natural look and feel than silicone implants
High cohesive silicone gel implants
- Look and feel more like natural breasts than saline implants
- Come in various sizes
- Less likely to develop folds or wrinkles
- Are now made with a cohesive gel that is designed to maintain its form
