Allergan breast implants

Our surgeons can help you regain your confidence and pick the implant type, size, and incision that meet your needs. This article will cover the benefits of choosing Allergan so you can decide whether or not these implants are an excellent fit for you.

Latest trends in breast implants

When it comes to breast implants, the choices are many. But what are women looking for these days? Here is a closer look at what’s popular out there.

• Natural-looking results – Women are no longer looking for large breasts. Most women these days prefer a natural look. The results should be flattering and in proportion to the rest of the body so that the newly enhanced look is less obvious.
• Silicone implants – Surgeons and patients alike prefer silicone over saline implants. The reason why is that they feel more like natural breast tissue and they are less likely to break and leak. Also, silicone implants can be placed over the muscle in women that lack breast tissue or body fat without the common concerns in saline implants where the implant can be visible in thinner women. Silicone is also lighter than saline, so there is less risk of sagging.

Regardless of what the latest trends may be, the best way to get great results is by choosing the right surgeon and the look that matches your body type. For example, women with a large frame need large implants despite what’s trending. Likewise, some women may benefit more from saline implants, regardless of silicone implants being popular these days. What matters is that you pick what’s right for you, no matter what’s trending.

Why do we use Allergan?

At Jolie, we are committed to offering the latest advancements in plastic surgery to our patients. So far, Allergan’s Natrelle breast implants are the safest and most natural-looking implants available out there. These implants will provide you with the firmness, shape, and volume that resemble a natural breast. Natrelle 410 implants, for example, have a thicker and more cohesive silicone gel that won’t leak in case of a rupture.

Trust our surgeons with your breast implants needs

While the type of breast implant depends on your personal preference, it’s always good to schedule a one-on-one consultation with a surgeon at Jolie who will ask you about your concerns and breast augmentation goals. This information, together with an examination of the anatomy of your breasts, is used to make better recommendations about which implant size and shape is more suitable in your specific case. During the consultation, you can compare implants and choose the right one with confidence.
