Breast implants vary in several different ways, ranging from the material used to fill the device, the texture of the shell, and shape. The material used to fill the implant is either saline (salt water) or medical-grade silicone. Both are great options, and outcomes of each will vary by the patient’s anatomy and amount of soft tissue coverage. The outside of the implant, known as the implant shell, can be smooth or rough in texture. There are pros and cons of each which Dr. Schusterman will review with you. Lastly, implants come in a round and tear drop shape with different widths and projections. During your exam, Dr. Schusterman will take specific measurements of your breast anatomy that will determine which implant is best suited for you.
