Are All Breast Implants Created Equal?

Generally, all saline-filled breast implants are made of a silicone elastomer shell with a filling valve, for filling with the saline solution. However, to better meet each individual woman's needs, breast implants come in different shapes and sizes.

The Style 68 and Style 168 BioCurveTM Round Breast Implants are round in design. They enhance breast size, and may produce a more rounded appearance to the upper breast.

The Style 468 BioCurveTM Shaped Breast Implant is designed to reflect the slope of a breast. With its upper area gently sloping downward and outward, the Style 468 BioCurveTM Shaped Breast Implant is more likely to shape the upper part of your breast with a gentle slope. And the BIOCELLŪ large-pore surface texture may help hold the breast implant in place in some cases. Though other shaped breast implants exist, they do not provide the overall height that produces a more gradual transition of the upper breast area.

The BioCurveTM round and shaped breast implants are available in a wide variety of sizes to specifically match your body type. Depending on the look you want to achieve, you may prefer one type of breast implant over the other. Be sure to ask your qualified plastic surgeon which breast implant from Allergan Medical is appropriate for you.
