Why Implants Require Customization
Dr. Bray, Jr. begins each consultation with a detailed evaluation of the chest wall, breast base width, soft tissue thickness, and skin quality. This evaluation helps determine how well an implant will fit, look, and feel over time.
Factors to Consider in Choosing Your Breast Implants
Beyond the technical assessment, Dr. Bray also takes the time to understand every woman’s personal goals for breast augmentation. Several factors can affect the size and appearance of your breast implants.
- Volume: Some women want a subtle change, while others seek dramatically larger breasts.
- Projection: Once the foundational measurements are complete, implant volume can be further customized using different profiles. The implant profile refers to how much the implant projects forward from the chest wall. Options include low, moderate, and high profiles. A high-profile implant may provide more volume without widening the breast base, making it a possible option for women with smaller frames who want a larger implant.
- Material: Silicone and saline breast implants both come in a wide spectrum of sizing options to suit different body types and aesthetic goals. With silicone implants, the size must be chosen before surgery because they come pre-filled and sealed. In contrast, saline implants offer more flexibility during the procedure. The implant shell is placed first and then filled with sterile saline solution during surgery. This allows Dr. Bray to make slight adjustments to the volume as needed.
These decisions aren’t made in isolation. Dr. Bray, Jr. discusses all these factors with you. Every step is collaborative, and your safety, proportions, and preferences all guide the final choice.
Dr. Bray, Jr. balances anatomy with aesthetics to recommend a size range that may help you achieve your goals.
