Breast implants are medical devices that enhance breast shape, divided into saline (filled with saltwater) and silicone. They vary in size, shape, and texture for customization. Saline implants are versatile and easily detect ruptures, being safe for health and compatible with breastfeeding. Silicone implants mimic natural breast tissue, avoiding visible folds but require monitoring to detect ruptures, and they are also compatible with breastfeeding.
When selecting the type of implant, it's important to consider the desired outcome and the recommendation of the cosmetic surgeon. Here are two common options: Round or anatomical implants.
Round breast implants, whether smooth or textured, tend to provide a cleavage with more volume and a fuller appearance in the upper part of the breast, maintaining their shape consistently over time and helping to prevent capsular contracture.
Anatomical implants: Also known as teardrop-shaped implants, these mimic the shape of a natural breast with more projection at the bottom and a smoother appearance towards the top.
Ultimately, the choice of breast implant should be based on a consultation, where the cosmetic surgeon will assess your specific needs and goals to ensure the selected implant is the most suitable for you.

Breast augmentation aims to increase breast size through implants, whereas breast lift focuses on improving the position and firmness of sagging breasts without altering their size. Both are cosmetic breast surgery procedures, but they have different goals and approaches to enhance the appearance of the bust.
A good candidate for breast augmentation is someone in good health, with realistic expectations and personal motivations. They should meet minimum age criteria for implants and be emotionally stable. Accurate evaluation is crucial and should be performed by a certified cosmetic surgeon.
The difference between them lies in their surface: smooth round implants have a smooth and seamless surface designed for easier movement within the breast pocket, while textured round implants have a textured surface to help anchor them in place once they are positioned in the breast pocket.
The lifespan of breast implants varies, but on average, they can last between 10 and 20 years. Factors such as the type of implant, lifestyle, and changes in the body influence their longevity. Regular check-ups and medical follow-up are essential to maintain long-term health and safety.
