Choosing the Right Type of Breast Implant
There are many options on the market for breast implants, each of which was created to fit differing natural body size and meet specific patient goals. Dr. Stanwix can help you narrow down your options and choose the implants that are right for you. Available implant types provided at our office include:
Saline
These implants use an elastomer (silicone) casing to hold a sterile saltwater solution, which imitates the feeling of natural breasts. Saline implants are inserted through a small incision prior to filling. In this method, scarring appears minimal. In the event of accident or injury, these implants are safe; the salt-water solution is naturally absorbed and expelled by the body.
Dr. Stanwix prefers Ideal Implant Saline implants because these implants can appear the same as silicone implants and feel & look much more natural than other saline implants in the market.
Silicone
These implants use the same elastomer outer case as saline implants but are filled with a cohesive silicone gel that more accurately mimics the movement of natural breast tissue. Silicone gel maintains structure despite rupture in the event of an accident, preventing the breast from reshaping. This option is available for women age 22 or older. These implants are like gummy bears and do not leak fluid and keep their cohesive formed shapes. Silicone implants come in:
- Textured and smooth,
- Shaped, round, or oval.
- Low, high, ultra high, moderate, or moderate plus profile
Dr. Stanwix will spend ample time going over the advantages of each characteristic of the implants during your consultation

Fitting Your Breast Implants
Once your desired type of implant is selected, you have the option of choosing how your implants will fit, how large in diameter they will be, and how far they will project. Dr. Stanwix completes a detailed analysis of your body type, discusses your goals with you, and generates a treatment plan to ensure a finished aesthetic that fits your natural body shape. His experience of doing this all the time will bring a relief to you and make you feel at ease during the process.
Implants can also be either round or teardrop shaped, depending on the style of the implant and individual preference. Round implants provide an uplifted appearance and are easily customized to fit the proportions of each individual. Teardrop implants are known for their natural shape and maintain their form between lying and standing.
Women also have the option of choosing between smooth or textured implants. Smooth implants are made using a soft material that does not attach to the body and allows free-flowing movement of the implant. Textured implants are made using a rugged surface that stabilizes the implant’s shape and prevents the implant from flipping over.
The size of the implants is up to you! Have fun trying on different sizes with a novel sizing system. Dr. Stanwix will give you an idea of what looks natural or unnatural depending on what your desires are and based on your measurements (and a ton of his experience and his artistic eye for beautiful breasts). Overall it is best to try on various sizes in front of the mirror in his sizing room, with different sets of clothes or bras/bikinis. Bring a friend, spouse, significant other to help enhance the experience!
