How To Choose The Best Breast Implants
Posted on [post_date] [post_comments] [post_edit]
Are you considering having but haven’t quite decided on the type of implant? When choosing the best breast implant, there are many variables which you will have to decide on.
Which material will the implant be made of?
The first thing to decide is what the breast will be made of.
At Centre for Surgery, you will be given silicone implants. These are approved by the UK Medicines and healthcare products regulatory agency (MHRA). These implants are made up of a silicone gel which holds them securely together. This will feel natural and will closely resemble breast tissue.
Saline breast implants are no longer used in the UK. Saline implants consist of a silicone shell which is then filled with sterile salt water, otherwise known as a saline solution. Saline implants are more likely to rupture and may slowly deflate over time. However, if a rupture did occur, the saline solution would cause no damage to your body, but you may require surgery to remove the outer shell.

What shape will the implant be?
The shape of the implant will affect the overall appearance of your breasts.
There are two shapes you can choose from – round and teardrop. While some women may have an idea of which shape implant they wish to have, it is best to make this decision after seeing the sample implants and consulting with your surgeon.
There are numerous factors which will influence which implant shape is the best for your body. These include:
Round implants are a more popular choice. They are round in shape and will help women to achieve more fullness in the upper part of the chest. This is suitable for those who have breasts which sit closer together, have nipple placement and only have mild sagging of the breasts.
However, those who want a more natural appearance may opt for the teardrop implant. As the name suggests, this implant is shaped like a teardrop, with more fullness at the bottom, which closely mimics the natural shape of the breast. Teardrop implants are suitable for those who have a slim body type, wide-set breasts, or slightly sagging tissue.

What texture will the implants be?
You will have the choice of two different textures for your – smooth or textured.
Smooth implants have a softer texture, which can feel more natural compared to textured implants.
Textured implants feature a rough, pebbly outer shell. This was designed to stick to the body’s tissue, which will help the implant to stay still and not move around.
In the 1980’s research concluded that this type of implant would have less of occurring. However, subsequent studies have found that there was no higher chance of capsular contracture occurring with smooth implants compared to textured implants. With the majority of implants being placed behind the muscle, there is no higher likelihood of movement or capsular contracture occurring Dermapen Microneedling with ÜBER Pro Peel smooth implants.

Yes. If you have a lot of breast sagging and want to increase breast volume, then a breast lift with breast enlargement is ideal. There can be slightly higher risks when performing a combined procedure, although our surgeons have many years of experience in performing combined procedures. Sometimes our surgeons may recommend performing two separate procedures and, in many cases, may recommend a single larger combined procedure if you don’t wish to go too big.
A breast enlargement takes 1 to 2 hours to perform. Most of our patients return to work after approximately five days, depending on the nature of their work. It may be initially to start with light duties and build up slowly, preferably on a part-time basis.
Our can begin gentle exercises 2-3 days after the procedure. It is recommended to start slowly and build up gradually. Patients should avoid lifting heavy for at least 4-6 weeks to ensure good healing.
All our use the gold standard inframammary incision, which is expertly placed in the natural fold of the breast. Although this incision leaves a small scar, it is very well concealed in the lower breast fold and allows the surgeon the best view of the inside of the breast during surgery. The best view means that breast implants can be placed accurately to create the most appealing look. Our surgeons also use the Keller funnel as standard. The Keller Funnel is the most advanced for inserting breast implants and allows for small inframammary incisions.
