There several choices to be made about the style of your breast implant:

Surface. Two implant surface types are available to augmentation patients, smooth and textured. Textured implants were developed in hopes of reducing the risk of contracture, while smooth implants have softer, more natural feel.

Filler. Women have the choice of implants filled with cohesive silicone gel or with saline (salt water solution). Both types of fill have been used since the earliest days of breast implantation. Modern implants are filled with silicone that has a “gummy bear” consistency and most patients agree that saline filled implants do not have the natural feel of silicone filled implants.

Shape. There are two shape options for implants, tear drop or round. Generally, round implants conform best to the natural shape of the breast and offer women favorable results. Tear drop, or contoured, implants may be a fit for women who have had mastectomy reconstruction. 

Placement. Implants can be placed either behind the breast tissue, subglandular, or behind the pectoralis chest muscles submuscular. Submuscular placement typically offers better results for thin women or women hoping to drastically enlarge their breasts.

Incision. Involves an incision in the sub-mammary fold underneath the breast allowing for the surgical incision to be well hidden. Peri-aeriolar augmentation is the preferred incision for women with tuberous breasts who do not have any infamammary fold. Get an appointment now in Athens, Crete, Kos, Heraklion, Chania, Ierapetra, Aghios Nikoalos, Sitia, Rethymnon with Dr Liapakis, the best Plastic Surgeon in Crete!
