How do I Know which Breast Implant is Best for Me?

The answer to the question of “best breast implant” is dependent on several factors, and some of them are subjective. In the end, it’s a personal choice made with the guidance of Dr. Rifai during your breast augmentation consultation. Are you looking for something dramatic or more natural? What is your age? Are you going to have children in the future?

In addition to these questions, Dr. Rifai will advise you based on your size, frame, and other aesthetic goals to find out which implant will work best for you.

If you are between the ages of 18 and 22, the FDA rules say you are only eligible for saline breast implants. If you choose silicone implants, you will get a more natural feel, but must alert technicians about your implants during your MRI.  While breast implants are fine for women planning on having children, silicone breast implants may make breast feeding more difficult.

It is also important to remember that breast implants, while they can last many years, are not a permanent solution and will need to be either replaced or simply removed at some point.

Breast implants are a very good choice for women who are self-conscious about their appearance, but the “best” implant for one person may not be the right choice for you.
