What Implants Should I Choose for my Breast Augmentation?

What Implants Should I Choose for my Breast Augmentation? 

You have a wide range of options when choosing breast implants. Depending on what results you want from your breast augmentation, you may choose from various shapes and a more or less natural look and feel. Dr. Coville prefers to use Sientra breast implants which are only available for use by Board Eligible or Board Certified Plastic Surgeons.

Silicone vs. Saline

Breast implants contain saline, a sterile saltwater solution, or silicone, an inert body-safe material. Dr. Coville feels that silicone implants usually give a more natural feel and appearance, but he will use saline implants if you prefer them. He has extensive familiarity with silicone implants used worldwide and offers the best, safest options. 

Gummy Bear Implants

These implants use a firmer, more resilient type of silicone than the gel contained in typical implants. This material maintains its shape even if damaged. Discuss gummy bear implants with Dr. Coville if you are interested in them. 

Implant Shape

Implants not only change the size of your breasts but can also reshape them. Implants in different shapes can add noticeable upper volume, increase forward projection, or give a more natural pear-shaped appearance. 

No Implants

You also have an option that uses no implants at all. Fat transfer breast augmentation removes your fat from elsewhere in your body and injects it into strategic locations in the breasts. You will see a subtle but noticeable volume enhancement.
