Depending on the brand, shape, texture, material, and more,

breast implants can be divided into many types!

Broadly, they can be classified into round and teardrop shapes.

You can probably guess what each one looks like from the name, but many people may still not be sure which one is right for their breasts.

At Apgujeong Seoul Plastic Surgery, we’ll recommend the implant that fits your breasts and body type!

First, let’s take a look at round implants. This type is a round implant that provides volume overall, from the upper part of the breast to the lower part.

It is one of the implants we actively recommend for those who want more volume throughout the breast! For those who want fuller breasts, this is a good option.

It has the feature of adding volume while keeping the current breast line.

What about teardrop-shaped implants? As you move from the top of the breast downward, the volume increases, allowing for a more natural-looking shape when standing.

If your rib cage is small, your frame is petite, or you are slim, or if the breasts are sagging, or the distance from the nipple to beneath the gland is short, this is a suitable implant.

In addition, it can help with breast enlargement, overall shape correction, and improving the ratio and balance between both breasts.

Considering your body type and preferred shape, choosing the right implant for you is one of the most important steps in breast surgery.

After a thorough consultation and diagnosis with a trusted medical team, it is best to proceed with surgery using the method that suits you best.

If you would like a consultation with Director Son Sang-hoon of Apgujeong Seoul, who recommends the appropriate implant from the patient’s perspective and helps create satisfying results!?
