Choosing Breast Implant Type

Among the different types of breast surgery, breast augmentation is one of the most popular. Today, there are several types of breast implants to suit the needs of different patients. If you want to know which breast implant is best for you, Dr. Charles Chalekson can help. Our office helps patients around the nation and the state of California achieve the beautiful figure they desire.

Types of Breast Implants

Every breast implant has unique advantages. At the office of Dr. Chalekson, we use FDA-approved implants tailored to meet your lifestyle, budget, and body type. Whether you want to make a bold transformation or just a subtle change, Dr. Chalekson will help you find the right breast implant for you. Our options include:

• Saline Implants: This implant has an outer silicone shell filled with a safe saline solution after they are placed.
• Silicone Implants: Like a saline implant, this type has an outer silicone shell. However, it is filled with a silicone gel for a more natural look and feel, and comes in a wider variety of shapes.
• IDEAL Implants: IDEAL implants are a new type of saline implant that has several internal shells, allowing for optimal fullness and a reduced likelihood of rippling.
• Gummy Bear Implants: This implant utilizes a more cohesive silicone gel that retains its shape, much like a Gummy Bear when cut in half.
• Fat Grafting: Also called lipoaugmentation, this procedure uses fat from other parts of the body to subtly increase breast size. In this procedure, we begin by removing fat from another area like the buttocks, abdomen, or thighs using liposuction. Then, we purify the harvested fat cells and incorporate them with fatty tissue in the breast.

Since every woman has a specific aesthetic they want to attain, Dr. Chalekson helps them find the ideal breast implant type and size for their goals.
