Hot Breast Augmentation These Days! What’s the Difference Between Breast Implants?

Hello, this is Apgujeong Seoul Plastic Surgery.

As the hot summer comes to an end and the weather gradually gets cooler,

inquiries about breast augmentation have been increasing significantly lately.

Among them, there are many questions about breast implants, such as what the differences are and what kinds there are.

Choosing an implant that suits your body is very important when having breast augmentation. There are many breast implant manufacturers, and depending on the type, such as smooth or textured, breast implants are also divided into many categories.

If you have looked into it but still do not know what the differences are, or if there are too many options and it feels complicated, please read today’s post carefully! I’ll explain the types of breast implants. :)

The smooth type has a surface that is sleek, soft, and thin. It can become even softer through sufficient massage, so it is the most suitable implant when you want soft and natural-looking breasts.

The microtextured type is made by combining the advantages of both smooth and textured types.

It creates a look and feel similar to real breasts, and by minimizing rippling and the likelihood of capsular contracture, it tends to have fewer side effects and higher safety.

Representative brands of breast implants include Mentor, Motiva, Sebbin, and Eurosilicone.

1. Mentor

Mentor is the product with the longest history among implant types. Because of its long history, it has even received approval from the U.S. FDA, and it has gained the trust of many people, making it a very popular implant!

It delivers a natural feel and fullness, and while the sides are soft, the upper portion is firm, making it stable and natural. The firm, elastic upper portion also helps maintain volume well.

2. Motiva

Motiva is also a popular implant alongside Mentor.

It began official sales in Korea in 2016, and each implant has its own unique serial number. Because implant information can be checked through the UDI chip, it is possible to verify whether the implant is genuine or counterfeit. Another major advantage of Motiva is that it has good integration with body tissues after surgery, and the incision size can be reduced during the procedure.

3. Sebbin

Sebbin is known as a product from a manufacturer with outstanding French technology. It has an eight-layer body-friendly shell, and with a strong integrated structure between the gel and the shell, it has durability that can withstand gel rupture from external pressure. Sebbin also has a body-friendly shell and a soft, natural implant, and because surgery is performed through a micro-incision, it has the advantage of a smaller incision.

4. Eurosilicone

Lastly, Eurosilicone!

Eurosilicone is made using the OCTAPLEX method, which prevents gel leakage, and the safe nine-layer shell prevents silicone gel leakage. It has a smooth surface type, natural movement, and excellent feel, which helps reduce the sense of discomfort!
