Silicone implants feel more natural and are often the preferred option for individuals with limited existing breast tissue. Saline implants are filled after placement and offer flexibility in size and placement. During the consultation, Dr. Marshall explains the benefits of each type and how your anatomy may respond to them.
Size selection depends on your goals, body proportions, and what will create the best long-term aesthetic. Dr. Marshall helps you explore options using sizers, measurements, and digital imaging to find a size that suits your vision.
Implants come in round and anatomical (teardrop-like) shapes. Round implants create fullness throughout the upper and lower portions of the breast, while anatomical implants create a gentle slope that mimics a natural breast shape.
Placement under the muscle can produce a more natural contour and help soften implant edges. Placement above the muscle may be better for those with enough natural tissue or those who want a more defined shape.
Common incision locations include the inframammary fold beneath the breast or the areola. Each incision option offers specific benefits for visibility, healing, and breast shape. Dr. Marshall recommends an approach tailored to your anatomy and the selected implant style.
