Implant Options

March 18, 2015

To improve your overall appearance, you have to understand that your curves each complement and enhance each other. A little change in body contour or shape in some area can actually do wonders for the look of your body. That is why so many people come to the Adelaide plastic surgery practice of Dr. Richard Hamilton to enhance their overall looks.

Why Breast Augmentation Surgery is So Popular

As you can imagine, altering the size, shape, and contours of the breasts can have a major impact on your overall appearance. So many women looking for enhancement and rejuvenation can benefit from just a little boost of the bustline.

Various Decisions and Considerations for Enhancement

Of course, there is a lot to consider when it comes to breast augmentation surgery. A woman’s overall appearance and contour must be considered. Given all of these issues, it’s important to speak with a skilled surgeon who has a good eye for aesthetics as a supplement to his or her surgical expertise. That is precisely what Dr. Hamilton has cultivated in his years as a plastic surgeon in Adelaide.

We’d like to take a moment to examine all of the various considerations when it comes to getting breast augmentation surgery and breast implants.

Fillings of Breast Implants

There are two primary fillings for breast implants: saline solution and silicone gel. Both of these options are safe and effective, though they do have their own pros and cons which we an discuss in more detail during your consultation.

Size of Breast Implants

Of course, when it comes to Adelaide breast augmentation surgery, the size of the breast implants is important to consider. Bigger is not always better for all people, so this must be considered seriously during the consultation process.

Shape of Breast Implants

In addition to the size of the breast implants, the shape of the breast implants must be taken into account as well. Both round and teardrop-shaped breast implants are available. One may be better for some patients rather than others. This is especially true if you are getting a breast augmentation combined with breast lift and breast reduction.

Texture of Breast Implants

Breast implants come in different textures, which is something that a lot of patients don’t realize. Smooth and textured implants are both options to consider, each with their own advantages and drawbacks.

Profile of Breast Implants

Breast implants have different sizes also have different levels of forward projection. High-profile breast implants protrude the furthest while low-profile implants have the lowest level of outward protrusion.

Additional Surgery Options to Consider

We mentioned that all curves complement each other, so it’s important to consider tummy tuck, liposuction, and other body contouring options. Dr. Hamilton can discuss how your overall frame can be sculpted and contoured to great effect during your visit to the office.
