Do you want a breast augmentation and are you wondering what type of implant is right for you? In cosmetic surgery, the shape of the implant is as important as the size or projection. The choice is not made randomly, but taking into account your conformation and the result you want.

In this article, I explain to you, from the perspective of a cosmetic surgeon, what are the main types of silicone breast implants, depending on the shape, and how we choose the ideal option for you together.

1. Round implants – for a full and feminine cleavage

Round implants have a symmetrical shape and provide volume in both the upper and lower parts of the breast. They are very popular among patients who want a more pronounced cleavage.

Advantages of round implants:

‣ They provide a “full” appearance in the upper part of the breast, ideal for a push-up effect.

‣ If the implant rotates over time, the shape of the breast remains the same.

‣ They are suitable for patients with sufficient breast tissue.

For whom they are recommended:

Patients with a harmonious body shape, who want a visible result and a well-defined neckline.

2. Anatomical implants (teardrop-shaped) – for a natural look

‣ Anatomical implants, also known as “teardrop-shaped”, imitate the natural shape of the breast: fuller at the bottom and more delicate at the top.

‣ Advantages of anatomical implants:

‣ They provide a natural look, ideal for a discreet transition between the chest and the breast.

‣ They are excellent for patients with reduced breast tissue.

For whom are they recommended:

Patients with a delicate conformation, narrow chest or very little breast tissue, who want a result that is as natural as possible.

Important: In the case of these implants, rotation can change the shape of the breast, so correct fixation is essential.

3. Implant projection – a detail that changes everything

In addition to the shape, implants have different projections, that is, how much they “stick out” in relation to their base. There are:

‣ Low Profile projection – wider base, horizontally distributed volume, discreet result.

‣ Moderate Profile projection – balance between width and prominence, natural appearance.

‣ High Profile projection – narrower base, greater prominence, suitable for a pronounced neckline.

How do we choose the projection?

‣ Depending on the width of the chest, the elasticity of the skin and the desired result.

‣ For a natural look, we prefer moderate projections. For a more spectacular effect, high projections.

How do we choose the shape and projection of the implant according to your conformation?

There is no “best” shape for all patients. The choice is personalized, taking into account:

‣ The shape and size of the chest

‣ The amount of existing breast tissue

‣ The symmetry of the breasts and their position on the chest

‣ The desired result: natural or more pronounced in the upper part

The shape and projection of the implant are essential for a beautiful and harmonious result. The correct choice is made through a detailed discussion, measurements and a careful evaluation of your anatomy.
