How to Choose the Perfect Breast Implant Size for Your Body Type

breast augmentation

Choosing the right option among different breast implant sizes is essential for achieving natural-looking results from a breast augmentation in Newark, DE. The process can feel overwhelming with so many options, but trusted experts like Mehdi Balakhani, MD, offer the guidance needed to make an informed decision.

Understanding Breast Implants

Breast implants come in two primary types silicone vs. saline breast implants. Saline implants are filled with sterile salt water and can be adjusted for size during surgery. Silicone implants contain a cohesive gel that many find mimics the feel of natural breast tissue.

Each type has benefits, and consulting with an experienced breast augmentation surgeon like Mehdi Balakhani, DDS, MD, FACS, will help you determine the best option. Working with a reputable doctor like him would make avoiding common breast implant size mistakes easier.

Considering Implant Profile and Shape

The profile of an implant refers to how much it projects from the chest wall. Profiles range from low to high and affect your overall silhouette. A high-profile implant offers more projection with a narrower base, while a low-profile implant provides less projection with a wider base. The shape also matters—round implants enhance upper breast fullness, whereas teardrop-shaped implants create a more natural slope.

Your breast augmentation consultation will discuss which profile and shape best suit your body type.

Evaluating Chest Width and Proportions

Your chest width significantly influences selecting the best implant size for your body type. Implants that are too wide or too narrow for your chest can lead to an unnatural appearance. A well-fitted implant ensures a balanced, proportionate look that complements your frame. It is an essential part of planning your augmentation mammoplasty procedure.

Lifestyle Considerations

Your daily activities and lifestyle should influence the decision on implant size. If you are highly active or participate in sports, you may prefer a more moderate size that won’t interfere with your movement. Larger implants may affect posture and comfort, so it’s important to choose a size that aligns with your lifestyle while still achieving your desired breast enlargement results.

The Importance of a Breast Augmentation Consultation

A thorough breast augmentation consultation with a qualified surgeon is essential. Dr. Balakhani, serving Newark and New Castle County, DE, will assess your body type, discuss your goals, and guide you through decision-making. You can visualize potential outcomes using advanced imaging and sizes and select the most suitable implant size.

The consultation also helps Dr. Balakhani assess if you are an ideal candidate for breast augmentation.

Breast Augmentation Procedure and Recovery

During the breast augmentation procedure, the surgeon will place the implants either above or below the chest muscle, depending on your anatomy and preferences. Incisions are carefully planned to minimize visible scarring. Recovery typically takes a few weeks, with most patients resuming normal activities gradually. Following post-operative care instructions ensures optimal healing and long-lasting breast enhancement results.
