Understanding Breast Implants
Breast implants are used in cosmetic procedures to enhance the size and overall shape of the breasts. There are two main options to choose from: saline and silicone implants. Saline implants contain a sterile saltwater solution, while silicone implants are filled with a soft, cohesive gel that mimics the natural feel of breast tissue.
During breast augmentation, saline implants are usually placed empty and filled once in position. Silicone implants come pre-filled and require a slightly larger incision for placement. Both types can be inserted either under or over the chest muscle.
Teardrop Shaped Breast Implants
Teardrop-shaped (or anatomical) breast implants have more volume and fullness at the bottom and gradually slope toward the top. This shape is typically preferred by women seeking a more natural breast enhancement, especially those with little existing breast tissue. Teardrop implants are also less likely to create an “overdone” look.
Some key benefits of teardrop implants include:
- Natural, anatomical shape
- Less likely to create a “fake” appearance
- Ideal for women with little natural breast tissue
Round Breast Implants
Round breast implants are commonly used in cosmetic procedures. As their name suggests, they are round in shape and provide more volume at the top of the breasts. Round implants can create more dramatic results, which may appeal to women seeking increased volume and a pronounced cleavage.
Key benefits of round breast implants include:
- Greater fullness at the top of the breasts
- More noticeable results
- Ideal for women desiring dramatic volume
How to Choose Between Round or Teardrop Breast Implants
Ultimately, the choice between round or teardrop breast implants depends on your individual needs and anatomy. During a consultation with Dr. Dauwe, one of the top plastic surgeons in Dallas, he will assess your goals and consider your existing breast tissue.
It’s also important to consider your lifestyle when making this decision. For instance, if you’re an active person who frequently participates in high-impact activities, round implants might be a better option due to their reduced likelihood of moving or rotating. On the other hand, if you have a smaller frame and desire a more natural look, teardrop implants may be the better choice.
