Understanding Breast Implant Options

Breast implant selection is a highly personalized process that depends on individual body type, proportions, and cosmetic goals. Andrew T. Cohen, MD, provides comprehensive consultations to help patients understand their breast augmentation options.

Silicone vs. Saline Implants

Saline Implants

• Composed of a silicone shell filled with saline solution
• Allows customizable sizing during surgery
• Immediate rupture detection
• More economical option

Silicone Implants

• FDA-approved for women 22 and older
• Form-stable silicone gel
• More natural look and feel
• Recommended MRI every 2-3 years

Implant Placement Techniques

Over the Muscle

Ideal for patients with more breast tissue or stretched skin. This placement creates a rounder breast appearance and can reduce recovery time.

Under the Muscle

Recommended for patients with thin breast skin. This technique creates a more natural breast slope and reduces the risk of capsular contracture.

Incision Types

Dr. Cohen offers multiple incision techniques to minimize visible scarring:

• Around the areola
• Lower breast fold
• Areola extending to breast fold
• Underarm area

Personalized Surgical Approach

Each breast augmentation procedure is customized to meet the patient's unique aesthetic expectations and physical characteristics. Dr. Cohen conducts thorough consultations to ensure optimal results.
