Time goes by, and the love for mammoplasty does not fade away. Unfortunately, nature has not awarded everyone with a magnificent bust. Thousands of women around the world visit a specialist every year to make their breasts beautiful and supple. However, choosing the perfect implant is not as easy as it might seem at first glance. Anvar Shukhratovich Salidzhanov, a plastic surgeon of the Clinic of German Medical Technologies GMTClinic, helped us to understand the nuances.

Often, when choosing a breast endoprosthesis, any girl has a thought: "Wouldn't the new breast be too unnatural?" The role of a plastic surgeon in determining the shape and size of breast implants is paramount, and only he will be able to answer the question of what primarily influences the choice of a breast endoprosthesis:

• the patient's desire;
• anatomical features of the mammary gland;
• the size and proportions of the patient's body;
• skin condition.

Out of size

If you are the owner of miniature data, then do not expect that the first operation will give a stunning result. If your breast size was small before the operation, then you can only achieve a large size by plastic surgery in several stages using special tissue expanders in the form of breast implants.

With their help, the doctor achieves stretching the tissues to the required size, followed by the replacement of the expanders with full-fledged breast implants.

Again, this tactic can only be accepted and approved by the surgeon. In any case, in order to choose the perfect size, you need to trust a specialist.

Follow the form

The shape of the implants can be round and drop-shaped. If you want the upper part of the breast to look as voluminous as possible, then you should opt for a round endoprosthesis. Round implants not only effectively lift the breast, but also visually enlarge it.

Round endoprostheses have two significant advantages: firstly, an affordable price, and secondly, an easier installation method.

The drop-shaped form looks much more natural than the round one, but such implants are an order of magnitude higher. Girls with flat breasts usually stop at these endoprostheses, so that the future bust looks natural.

Filled to the brim

Wearers of the earliest breast implants often found themselves in awkward situations due to the gurgling saline that was used to fill the implants. In our time, there is no such problem.

Now implants are filled with a single cohesive silicone gel molecule. This allows the density of the implant to be as close as possible to the natural density of the breast and to maintain its original shape. At the same time, in case of damage to the shell, the contents of the implant will not spread.

What is it from?

What else do you think are different from each other breast endoprostheses? That's right, the surface of the shell. Implants can be smooth, textured and polyurethane coated.

Smooth implants are only round in shape and are most prone to deformation due to the absence of pores. However, their choice is associated with an affordable price and long service.

A textured endoprosthesis is fixed in the muscle due to small pores and is considered more reliable than a smooth one.

Implants with a polyurethane coating are gaining more and more popularity, which guarantees the absence of displacement and the formation of capsular contracture.

It must be remembered that there is simply no single ideal implant for everyone. Every woman has her own ideal and her own idea of beautiful proportions. It is the specialist who will help you understand all the intricacies and nuances of choosing breast endoprostheses.
