If you are considering a breast augmentation, It's normal to have a lot of questions about implants. One of the most important and least known decisions has to do with The type of implant that is going to be used. There are different shapes, volumes and projections, and each one provides a different result depending on the body, breast anatomy and the patient's aesthetic objectives. In this blog we explain the differences between round and anatomical implants, as well as the available projections, to help you understand which one might be the most suitable for you.

‍Round breast implants

Round implants have a symmetrical shape, meaning that they provide volume evenly in both the lower and upper parts of the bust. They are ideal for patients who they want a more obvious cleavage and a more pronounced upper projection.

‍This type of implant is usually chosen by those looking for a more rounded and firm appearance.

‍Anatomical or droplet-shaped breast implants

Anatomical implants have a droplet shape that attempts to mimic the natural sagging of the bust, with more volume at the bottom and less at the top. This is why they are also known as droplet-shaped implants. They are primarily used in reconstructive surgery. They are usually recommended for very thin patients, with little breast tissue, or who are looking for a more subtle and natural appearance.

And how does breast implant projection work?

The projection refers to how far the bust will project forward. It doesn't just matter How many cubic centimeters does the implant have, but also what shape it will give to the bust from the profile. There are different projections:

• Lower: It gives a more discreet appearance, ideal for subtle augmentations.
• Moderate: It provides balance between naturalness and volume.
• High: It projects the bust more forward, giving a more pronounced result.
• Extra tall: It offers maximum projection, for patients who want a more impactful volume.

The choice of projection depends on your anatomy, the base of the breast, the thickness of your skin, your height and, above all, your personal goals. There isn't a better projection, but one that fits you better.
