Which breast implant shape is right for me?
Modern breast implant shapes are either round or anatomical. Different implant shapes suit different body types.
Mybreast offers round breast implant shapes within the package price at Mybreast, but you can also choose from a range of anatomical shaped breast implants at a slightly higher cost. Your Mybreast surgeon will help you select the breast implant shape that’s likely to give you the shape and contour you wish to achieve.
Round breast implant shape
At present, the round breast implant shape is the most popular breast implant shape in the UK. It has been tried and tested more than any other breast implant, and has been the source of excellent breast augmentation results in thousands of women worldwide. The round breast implant shape is generally suitable for the vast majority of patients.
Anatomical breast implant shape
Anatomical breast implant shapes are designed more like a teardrop, following the body’s natural lines. The result is that the upper part of the breast remains filled over the long term.
Breast width, height and projection are important considerations for anatomical breast implant shapes and can help clarify what you see as the ideal shape and size of your new breasts. These breast implant shapes are sometimes appropriate in women with very little breast volume, or with a particular chest anatomy.
An occasional problem with the anatomical breast implant shape is that any rotation of the implant within its pocket will cause the breast to look lopsided. This does not occur with round breast implant shapes, as any rotation maintains the same breast shape.
