When it comes to the breast augmentation procedure it used to be that you only had one choice.
But since times change and so does what the people want, the manufacturers of breast implants now offer a variety of styles and shapes.
For starters you have the good old fashioned round breast implant.
This design is of course the oldest and while the types of silicone that is used to make the implant's shell has changed, the shape has not.
The bonus with the round breast implant is of course that it is round.
In the event that the implant rotates in its pocket then because it is round it will not matter.
This is the best choice if you do not want to have to deal with the possibility of the implant rotating in its pocket.
After the standard round type breast implant you then have what is most commonly referred to as the anatomical implants.
These anatomical implants are exactly as they state they are.
They are designed so that the shape of the implant mimics that of a natural breast.
While there is a myth that the round implants are not as good as the anatomical implants, this is not true sine if the surgeon is good at positioning the implant it can look just as natural as an anatomical implant.
The down-side of the anatomical implant is that it is bottom heavy and if it were to shift or rotate in its pocket than the outcome may not be pretty.
As a means of preventing rotation, the anatomical implants come with a textured shell surface but this will not always stop the implant from shifting.
All of the implants come in either a textured or a smooth surface.
What this does is it helps prevent the implant from rotating or shifting in its pocket if the pocket becomes enlarged or was too large to begin with.
There is no noticeable difference from the outside as to whether an implant is textured or smooth so in the even that you decide on an anatomical shaped implant then you can feel safer going with the textured shell surface.
No particular implant is considered to be better than another as it all comes down to the skill of the surgeon performing the breast augmentation.
Make sure you choose an experiences and qualified surgeon for your breast augmentation as this will help ensure that the outcome is nothing less than expected.
