How Does Breast Augmentation Really Work?
Before we get into the ins and outs of breast augmentation, Fort Myers, we need to first look at the different methods that can be used. These include:
- Breast implants – you’ve definitely heard of these and probably are leaning towards this option.
- Fat transfer to the breast – This is less common but good for a natural enhancement. It does not provide more than a cup size of enhancement.
Between these two methods, most lean toward breast implants because of the large variety of options and sizes.
What Are The Options?
Breast implant options are pretty easy to understand as they are straightforward and simple. If you want to be aware of all the options available, you can look at this list below to get a deeper understanding.
- Saline breast implants
- Silicone breast implants
- Gummy bear breast implants
Now, it’s important to remember there are distinct differences between the three options, even though gummy bear implants are a type of silicone implant.
Saline Breast Implants
Saline breast implants are one of the first implant types to become popular. However, they aren’t as popular today because they don’t look entirely natural. Now, if larger round breasts are your thing, then saline breast implants may be for you. They also only use sterile saline water, so if you’re breast implant (God forbid) ruptures, it’s safe for the rest of your body.
Silicone Breast Implants
Silicone breast implants are more common in today’s breast augmentation, Fort Myers. Silicone breast implants look and feel more like real breast tissue, so you can get that natural increase in size. There is a risk of implant rupture with silicone breast augmentation, but when you use an experienced surgeon you can avoid this for the most part.
Gummy Bear Breast Implants
Gummy bear breast implants are a newer form of the silicone type. (Some might say they are new and improved.) Gummy bear isn’t just a cute term to get you interested. It’s because they have a consistency similar to that of gummy bear candy. You may think that sounds uncomfortable, but these implants are actually the most natural-appearing implants and can be shaped like the actual tissue. They also have the least risk of rupture due to the firmer gel.
How Do I Know Which Type To Pick?
Now that you know all the implant types, you may be wondering how to pick the right one. Look, a breast augmentation is a highly personal experience. You should never feel pressure or confusion when making any decision regarding this surgery. Finding the right implant type starts by attending a consultation with an experienced provider. Consider things like:
- Your lifestyle and activity level
- How you want your implants to look
- How big you want the implants to be
- Your genetics and physical makeup
- The surgeon’s recommendations and advice
