Our team will provide you with up-to-date information to help you understand which breast implants are best for you.

What types of breast implants are there?

For more than 8 years, the team of Beauty by Experts Medical has been consulting and organizing breast surgery for patients in Turkey. The first thing women are interested in is the types of breast implants. What does this concept include – material, size, or shape? Each patient puts her meaning into this issue, and we will examine in detail, from a professional point of view, everything related to breast implants.

In the world of plastic surgery, there are several types of breast implants, which differ in shape, size, and materials. Among the implants that remain relevant in 2024, it is worth considering the following ones:

• Silicone. The so-called “silicone breasts” are divided into gel and cognitive implants by type. Classic gel implants are made of silicone gel, which gives them a soft and natural appearance. They may have a textured shell to help prevent movement and provide stability.
• Liquid (B-Lite). These are lightweight and comfortable implants made under a unique technology using the latest generation cohesive silicone gel. They are 30% lighter compared to traditional silicone ones. This is especially true for placing implants with a volume of over 450 ml.

Which breast implants are the best for your case will depend on some individual factors. The choice of a specific type of implant for breast augmentation should be discussed with a plastic surgeon. For consultation, you can contact one of the leading specialists in mammoplasty – Ilker Manavbashi, Ergin Er, Selcuk Aytaç.

What are the sizes of breast implants?

Choosing the size of breast implants is one of the important points for those preparing for mammoplasty. As a rule, plastic surgeons take into account the individual preferences of a woman and her figure parameters. To have a productive discussion with your doctor about this step, patients may benefit from some guidelines for choosing breast implants. This simple calculation can help you with this. To increase your bra cup size by 1, you need a breast implant with a volume of at least 200 ml. That is, you can start from the original size of your underwear.

By volume, implants are divided into:

• Small size (up to 200 ml). They are chosen by women who want to achieve a slight increase in mammary glands (by 1 size), while maintaining a natural appearance.
• Medium size (200-400 ml). This type provides moderate breast enlargement in 1.5-2 sizes. It is suitable for those who seek a noticeable bust change.
• Large size (400-600 ml). It provides the opportunity to enlarge the mammary glands by 3 sizes. These implants are chosen by girls who need to achieve a significant change in the shape and volume of their breasts.
• Extra-large size (600 ml or more). Large implants allow to increase your bust size by 4 or more sizes, so their choice is approached with caution. Silicone breasts will look very different from natural ones. But at the same time, it will be spectacular and not saggy (as is usually the case with 4-6 native sizes).

Key points to consider when choosing breast implants:

• physical characteristics are body parameters, chest structure, presence of breast asymmetry, and other features;
• the final goal is how you want to look after mammoplasty;
• recommendations of a plastic surgeon who takes a comprehensive approach to assessing the patient’s health status.

Every woman wants to remain attractive. Therefore, we will dwell in more detail on the aspect of what types of breast implants in size can be used. The diagram presented below will help figure out which size breast implants are suitable for certain situations. To move from one (initial) size to the desired one (after mammoplasty), pay attention to the bra cup size:

• from A to B, it is necessary to install implants of about 250 ml;
• from A to C, you need approximately 350 ml;
• from A to D you need at least 400 ml;
• from B to C, up to 300 ml will be enough;
• from B to D, you need 350-400 ml;
• from C to D, up to 350 ml are used;
• from C to E, up to 55- is usually sufficient.

In this diagram, A, B, C, D, E are standard European bra cup sizes. Calculations of implant volume are based on data presented in publications of the Academic University of Oxford.

What are the shapes of breast implants?

In addition to breast size, the shape of the implants plays an important role in the results of mammoplasty. Their range makes it possible to create the perfect neckline for every woman.

In plastic surgery, the following basic shapes of implants are applied, which are selected individually for each patient:

• Round: they have uniform volume throughout the entire diameter, which creates a round breast shape. Suitable for various body types and widely used to create a fuller bust.
• Anatomical or Teardrop: they have more volume at the bottom, imitating a natural shape. Anatomical breast implants are recommended for those who want to get a more natural look to their cleavage.

These implants provide a unique solution for women who want to achieve a natural and harmonious bust appearance while maintaining the benefits of added volume.

Types of breast implants by profile

Breast implant profiles are classified as follows:

• Low-profile implants have a relatively flat appearance and protrude minimally from the breast. This type of implant is ideal for women with a wide chest.
• Medium-profile implants provide the most natural appearance. As the name suggests, they provide more projection than low-profile implants, but not as much as high-profile implants. They are ideal for women with a narrow chest.
• High-profile implants have a narrow base to provide maximum projection. They produce the fullest, roundest results, which may look less natural on some patients. However, high-profile implants are often suitable for short women with narrow chests.

The choice of profile has a direct impact on the visual perception of breast size. Therefore, when making a decision, the peculiarities of the constitution of the implants should be taken into account.

Surgery options: how are breast implants inserted?

Plastic surgeons install breast implants in various ways:

• The implants are placed directly under the mammary gland and above the muscle. This method provides quick recovery and reduces pain after surgery.
• The implants are placed under the chest muscle. This gives a more natural appearance and less risk of capsular contracture.
• Mastopexy with implant installation. This combined surgery includes breast augmentation with lifting. It gives shape correction and volume increase at the same time.

Surgeons perform mammoplasty using 3 options for placing implants: under the breast, around the areola, or in the armpits. The choice of method depends on several factors. For example, whether the woman plans to breastfeed since an incision around the areola can damage the milk ducts.
