Breast Augmentation: What Types of Breast Implants Are There?

You have multiple choices if you’re planning to undergo breast augmentation surgery, including the location of incisions and whether you want the implant placed above or behind your chest muscle. And then there are the breast implant options available. Even though most patients focus on breast implant sizes, your choices also include the different types of breast implants and the implants’ profile.

Women consider breast augmentation for various reasons. They may want to restore volume after having children, improve the symmetry of their breasts, or boost their confidence because they’ve always had small breasts.

If you’re like many of our patients, visualizing the options can help you decide what will work best for you. Our skilled and experienced plastic surgeons help guide the choices by explaining them in a way that’s easy to understand.
