Breast Implant Types: A Complete Comparison
Choosing the right implant is a personal decision that depends on your body frame, the look you want to achieve, your lifestyle, and how the implant should feel to the touch. Each implant type — saline, silicone gel, gummy bear, and fat transfer — has its own strengths and trade-offs. Dr. Tatarian reviews every option in detail during your consultation so your final selection reflects your anatomy and aesthetic goals rather than a one-size-fits-all default.
| Implant Type | Material | Feel | Best For | Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Saline | Sterile salt water in silicone shell | Firmer | Patients seeking budget-friendly option, smaller incision sites | Visible rippling possible in thin patients; rupture immediately apparent |
| Silicone Gel | Cohesive silicone gel | Softer, more natural | Most patients seeking natural feel | Slightly larger incision; rupture may not be immediately apparent — MRI surveillance recommended |
| Gummy Bear (Highly Cohesive) | Form-stable cohesive gel | Firmest, holds shape | Patients seeking shaped/teardrop look or maximum projection | Maintains shape even if shell ruptures; teardrop shape requires precise placement |
| Fat Transfer (Autologous) | Patient's own fat | Most natural — it IS your tissue | Patients seeking modest enhancement (typically half-cup to one-cup increase) | Limited size increase; requires donor fat from another body area; some fat absorption is normal |
Incision Options and Implant Placement
Incision Locations
- Inframammary (under the breast) — most common, well-concealed in the breast crease.
- Periareolar (around the nipple) — scar blends with the areolar border.
- Transaxillary (through the armpit) — no scar on the breast itself.
Implant Placement
- Subglandular (above the muscle) — quicker recovery, more pronounced shape.
- Submuscular / Dual Plane (partially or fully under the muscle) — more natural upper-pole slope, lower capsular contracture risk, recommended for thin patients.
Dr. Tatarian recommends incision and placement options personalized to your anatomy, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals during your consultation.
How it Works
Personalized Consultation
Meet with our surgeons to discuss your goals, evaluate your anatomy, and explore implant options including size, shape, and placement. We'll use advanced imaging to help you visualize potential results.
Customized Treatment Plan
We'll create a surgical plan tailored to your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. You'll receive detailed pre-operative instructions and have all your questions answered.
Surgery Day
Under general anesthesia, we carefully place your chosen implants through discreet incisions. The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours, and you'll go home the same day.
Recovery & Results
Follow post-operative care guidelines including wearing a support garment and limiting strenuous activity. Most patients return to work within a week and see final results within a few months.
