At Body by Bloch, we offer two primary types of breast implants:
Saline implants: These implants are filled with sterile salt water. They are inserted empty and then filled once in place, allowing for smaller incisions. Saline implants offer a firm feel and are an excellent option for women who prefer smaller incisions. In case of a rupture, the body easily absorbs the saline solution.
Silicone implants: Filled with a cohesive silicone gel, these implants mimic the feel of natural breast tissue more closely than saline implants. They come pre-filled and may require a slightly larger incision. Silicone implants are a popular choice due to their natural appearance and texture.
Moderate profile: balance between width and projection. These are commonly chosen as they provide a natural look and are versatile for various body types.
Low profile: wider base and less projection, providing a subtle enhancement. They are suitable for women with a wider chest frame.
Breast implant profiles determine how far the implant projects from the chest, influencing the overall silhouette and contour. The main profiles available include:
High profile: narrower base and greater projection, making them ideal for women seeking a more dramatic enhancement.
Transaxillary incision: Located in the armpit, this incision leaves no scar on the breast itself. It requires specialized techniques and may limit the size and type of implant that can be used.
Periareolar incision: Made around the edge of the areola. It allows for a more discreet scar but may not be suitable for women with smaller areolas or those planning to breastfeed in the future.
Inframammary incision: Located in the crease under the breast. It's a good access for precise implant placement and allows for larger implants if desired. It is the most commonly used incision and generally results in well-hidden scars.
Choosing the placement of the implant is another important decision.
The two main options are:
Subglandular placement: The implant is placed directly behind the breast tissue but above the chest muscle. This placement may offer a quicker recovery and less discomfort initially. It is suitable for women with adequate natural breast tissue to cover the implant.
Submuscular placement: The implant is placed beneath the chest muscle. This placement tends to result in a more natural contour, especially in women with less natural breast tissue. It also reduces the risk of certain complications, such as capsular contracture, and may make mammograms easier to interpret.Dr. Bloch will work closely with you to determine the best choices for your body type, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals.
Aging, gravity, and diminished skin elasticity take a toll on the breasts. Many experience breast sagging over time and desire more youthful elevation. A breast augmentation combined with a breast lift can provide the desired enhancement and address sagging or asymmetry. Dr. Bloch will tailor your procedure to achieve a youthful and natural look.
