What You Should Know Before Getting Breast Augmentation: Types and Options
At DCH Hospital, we believe that women should be well-informed before undergoing breast augmentation! This procedure is among the most popular cosmetic surgeries, especially for women seeking greater confidence and enhanced body contours. Choosing the right type of implant is crucial, as it affects not only appearance but also safety and recovery, ensuring the best fit for your lifestyle.
Types of Breast Implants: Which Silicone is Right for You?
Many women wonder which type of breast implant is best. Nowadays, various options are available to suit different preferences, mainly categorized into 2 types
Round Breast Implants
Appearance: Full and rounded, adding volume to the upper part of the breast.
Best For: Those who desire a fuller, more prominent breast shape, or individuals with sagging breasts who want a firmer look.
Advantages: Creates a visibly fuller appearance even when lying down; ideal for those who like to show cleavage.
Teardrop Breast Implant
Appearance: Teardrop-shaped, with more volume at the base and a natural slope at the top.
Best For: Those who prefer a natural look or have a smaller chest frame and want subtle enhancement.
Advantages: Mimics the natural breast shape more closely; perfect for those with smaller or thinner breasts.

How do different breast implant surfaces differ?
Choosing the surface texture is another important factor when selecting breast implants. The surfaces can be categorized into 3 types:
Smooth Surface
The implant has a smooth and slippery surface.
- Advantages Moves naturally and easily within the breast tissue. Reduces the risk of tissue contraction around the implant. Feels soft and light to the touch.
- Disadvantages Higher risk of capsular contracture compared to other surfaces. May shift position in some cases.
Textured Surface
The implant surface is rough, similar to sandpaper, helping the implant adhere better to the surrounding tissue.
- Advantages Reduces the risk of capsular contracture. Provides greater implant stability, reducing the risk of shifting.
- Disadvantages May not feel as soft as smooth implants. In some cases, friction between the implant and tissue may occur.
Nano Textured Surface)
Designed to have a finer texture than standard textured surfaces, helping to reduce friction.
- Advantages Combines the benefits of both smooth and textured surfaces. Effectively lowers the risk of capsular contracture while maintaining a natural feel. Ideal for those seeking a soft, safe result.
- Disadvantages May be more expensive than other surface types.
How to choose the right implant surface?
Choosing the appropriate surface depends on several factors:
Body Structure
For individuals with little natural breast tissue, textured or nano-textured surfaces may be better to help prevent capsular contracture.
Desired Results
If a very soft feel is preferred, smooth or nano-textured implants may be more suitable.
Surgeon's Recommendation
Your surgeon will assess which surface type best fits your tissue and lifestyle.

Subglandular Placement (Above the Muscle)
This method is less popular today due to its drawbacks for long-term aesthetics and health.
- Advantages

- Faster healing time.
- Suitable for patients with thick breast tissue needing only slight enlargement.
- Disadvantages
- Higher risk of capsular contracture.
- Implant edges may become visible over time, especially in patients with thin breast tissue.
- The breast may look less natural and the implant may move more easily.
Submuscular Placement (Under the Muscle)
Currently the most popular method for natural-looking and safe results.
- Advantages
- More natural appearance due to muscle coverage hiding the implant edges.
- Reduces the long-term risk of complications like capsular contracture.
- Provides a stable implant position during movement.
- Disadvantages
- More painful recovery as muscle tissue must be dissected.
- Longer healing time.
- Limitations on implant size due to muscle constraints.
- Implant movement may be noticeable during intense shoulder or arm activity.
- Best for
- Those seeking a natural look aligned with their body structure.
- Patients wanting to minimize post-surgery risks.
- Those not planning to use very large implants.
Dual Plane Technique
Combines the benefits of both subglandular and submuscular placements for the most natural-looking results.

Recovery Time After Breast Augmentation
Recovery usually takes at least 7 days, with most patients returning to work within 2–3 days depending on the technique, implant placement, size, and individual healing factors.

It typically takes 2–3 months for the breasts to soften fully, depending on:

- Consistent breast massage helps accelerate softening.
