Breast Implants Trends for 2019

Trends in Breast Implants for 2019

Breast implants are still among the most popular surgical cosmetic procedures in 2019, with more than a quarter million breast augmentation surgeries performed annually. Certain trends and innovations in breast implant technologies are making breast enhancement safer and more satisfying for patients than ever before.

Top Birmingham, MI board certified plastic surgeon Doctor Ali has performed thousands of breast implant surgeries on universally satisfied patients who are thrilled with their results.

In this article Dr. Ali  discusses some of the latest developments in breast implant techniques and technologies that are trending in 2019.

B & C Cup Breast Implants

In recent years there has been a trend toward more “naturally” sized and shaped breast implants.  Gone are the old days of ridiculously large DDD implants that are clearly surgically enhanced.

Choosing an implant size is now much more about fitting the women’s proportions, than simply going “as big as possible.” For most women, a “C-cup” look is more attractive and realistic looking than DD-cups. Additionally, breasts that are too large for a woman’s frame can be uncomfortable – even leading to back problems.

And, inserting a breast implant that is too big for the existing breast skin and tissue can lead to complications, such as capsular contracture.

For all of these reasons, natural looking medium to full-size B and C cup looks are trending!

“Gummy Bear” Breast Implants

Today, breast implant patients have a number of new and improved breast implant materials from which to choose. One of the most popular variety of breast implants is the natural feeling gel implant.

Sometimes referred to as a “gummy bear” breast implant, this soft and pliable gel material feels like real breast tissue.

In addition to “feeling” more real, gel implants are an important advancement in silicone breast implant technology because they do not leak when damaged. Unlike saline or earlier generations of silicone breast implants, “gummy bears” are made of a cohesive silicone gel that will retain its form even if cut in half!

Gummy bear breast implants also holds their shape better – and don’t tend to wrinkle, ripple or sag – which also increases volume near the cleavage.

Quick Recovery From Breast Implant Surgery

Breast augmentation is still considered a major surgery. However, newer techniques – such as under-the-muscle breast implant – is more minimally invasive. This noit only reduces the risk of infection as well as shortens the previously extensive healing period.

Birmingham, MI board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali can create a “breast pocket” for the implant with the utmost precision. This substantially reduces post-surgical bruising, bleeding, pain and inflammation, leading to a more rapid recovery.

Less Need for Pain Medication

With the opioid addiction crisis sweeping America, doctors and patients are rightfully concerned about reducing the need for opioid painkillers. Patients undergoing under-the-muscle breast implants experience less post-surgery pain in addition to healing faster.

This is another reason under-the-muscle breast implants are among the most popular method of augmentation today. There are, of course, some exceptions to this trend. For example, women with a naturally large amount of breast tissue may experience superior results with over-the-muscle breast implants.
