How to choose the right breast implant

When considering breast enlargement surgery, it’s important to get the right advice and guidance about the size and shape that would suit you best. Most women want to enhance their natural body shape and choosing the right implant is a vital part of the process.

When you attend your initial consultation at Manchester Plastic Surgery, you’ll find your surgeon spends a lot of time gently questioning you about the results you’d like to achieve. How many cup sizes do you want to go up? How much fullness do you want to have? What do you dislike about your breasts at the moment?

This detailed understanding of what you’re unhappy about and what you want to achieve is essential. Only when we share your vision of what ‘good’ looks like can we advise you on the best way forward.

Part of the process is to assess your body shape and your breasts to determine whether your vision is achievable. For us, it’s important to set appropriate expectations from the outset. We want you to be completely happy with your results which means giving you straight-forward feedback about your likely results.

The size of breast implant is one of the most important considerations. It can be tempting to go too big, but we would always advise caution. Go for a size that suits your body shape now and into the future. Whilst you may be tempted by larger implants when you initially look into having breast surgery because you’ve always dreamed of having a more feminine profile, it can be a mistake. Over the long-term, most people want their body shape to look natural in all types of clothing. We think 10 – 20 years ahead to help you choose breast implants that will still look good as your body changes with age.

The shape of breast implant is another key consideration. The right choice will depend on your current body shape and whether you have a petite or heavier frame. Our surgeons will show you the different shapes available and help you choose the implant that will suit you best.

We appreciate it can be difficult to envision your end results so it can be helpful to view photos of women who have previously had breast augmentation at Manchester Plastic Surgery. Finding people of a similar build with similar sized implants can help you envision your end results.

Of course, you can also opt for our 3D imaging service. This technology scans your body to produce a realistic impression of what you will look like with your breast implants fitted. This enables you to experiment with different shapes and sizes before you go through actual surgery. It can be incredibly beneficial in helping you make the decision to go ahead with surgery, giving you peace of mind that you and your surgeon share the same vision of the result you’d like to achieve.

For us, the most important thing is to listen to your needs and then provide the clear advice and guidance you need based on our years of experience in carrying out breast implant surgery in Manchester.

Our goal is to help you live life to the full by giving you increased self-confidence as a result of looking and feeling your best.

Your initial consultation will enable you to get the advice and information you need so that you can make a good decision about whether surgery is right for you.
