Breast Augmentation and the Breast Implant

By: Jason Brown

Once you've chosen to increase the size of your breasts with the cosmetic surgical procedure, breast augmentation, you need to know what type of breast implants are available.

Breast implants come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and textures. While you may choose between a silicone or saline filling, both are encased in a pliable sac, or shell, which is normally a silicone elastomer with traces of other organic compounds and silica. Silicone elastomer is a rubbery and elastic material, which allows for a more natural feel and contour. It is designated safe by the FDA and Health Canada.

When it comes to the surface of the shell, you have two choices: smooth or textured. Smooth shells are softer than their textured counterparts, and are not as palpable. This makes them a great choice for women with thin skin.

On the other hand, it is popularly believed that capsular contracture occurs less with textured shells, so it is best to speak with your cosmetic surgeon to choose the right one for you.

Another factor to consider when choosing the right breast implant for you is their shape. Round or contoured/anatomical, the shape of the breast implants will contribute to the overall appearance of your body following breast augmentation. For example, the round implant may make your breasts appear fuller, while the contoured ones may result in a more natural appearance.

Finally, the size of the breast implant should ideally be something you will remain comfortable with for a long period of time. For a general idea of the right size for you, try wearing a bra that's the size you are considering. Fill the bra with socks or bits of material, and see if it is what you'd like. Most women prefer a breast implant size that is proportionate to their body, so the results are both desirable and appear natural.
