Breast implants come in a variety of shapes, numerous sizes, and various profiles, depending on the company. A detailed examination and consultation helps determine the appropriate implant for the patient. Each patient comes in with her own reasons for breast augmentation, and it is up to the plastic surgeon to determine what that is. I look at the patient’s history with implants, age, and health history. I ask what she wants and what lifestyle she lives. This information, along with the measurements taken, helps determine the appropriate implants.
