The Many Shapes and Sizes of Breast Implants

The breast augmentation procedure has come a long way from it’s genesis in the 1960′s.  The development of better surgical techniques and materials have made breast augmentation surgery one of the most popular elective surgeries in the United States today, with over 360,000 women choosing breast implant surgery in 2005. 

Breast Implants Shape and Size Matter

As surgical techniques have developed, so have the prosthetics.  Today, there are many more options available to fit any body type.  Two of the most important options are the shapes and sizes available to patients.  Round implants are the most popular shaped implants, perhaps because they offer a more round, full look and they have a firmer feel.  However, anatomical implants can offer a more natural look due to tear drop shape – fuller at the bottom, tapering at the top. 

Another consideration is the size of the implants.  Newport Beach Breast Implants Surgeon Dr. Sanjay Grover makes every effort to understand his patients’ vision of their perfect body and helps create a realistic expectation based on the patients’ height, body type and overall proportions.  Choosing implants that ‘fit’ your body will create a more harmonious, natural look and deliver the results you desire.
