Choosing the right implant for breast enlargement cosmetic surgery is as important as choosing the correct size for your body type. There are two different types of implant surfaces; smooth or textured. Textured implants do not move around in the breast. They stay where they are put. Smooth implants tend to slide around somewhat. Scarring is a huge complication for implants, and textured implants have been found to cause less scarring. But textured implants have a greater risk of rupturing. Tissue can grow into the textured surface over the years and this could be a weakening of the implants surface. However, smooth surface implants offer a less chance of wrinkles.
Breast implants come in two shapes: round or shaped. Most plastic surgeons prefer round implants because there is less chance of error. Since they are shaped like a circle the surgeon doesn’t need to worry about getting them oriented correctly. Shaped implants can look great on the operating table, but if they haven’t been placed properly, after the swelling goes down they could have a peculiar outline. Shaped implants have less of a natural look since they hold their volume at the body. Rounded implants more naturally conform to the body. Shaped implants also cost more.
There is also an implant called the Spectrum implant. It is for the woman who is unsure what size she wants to be. This implant can be adjusted up to 6 months after surgery. The adjustments are made by using a small valve that is inserted under the skin. Although the valve is good for adding more volume to the implant, it can be felt and also leak. The spectrum implant is also more expensive than the average breast enlargement implant.
Whatever implant you decide to use, make sure you pick the one that best suits your body type.
