A variety of factors determine the best implants for your individual needs and goals, including your biological characteristics, lifestyle, desired outcome, and safety profile.
Silicone or saline
Silicone implants are filled with a cohesive gel that feels closest to real breast tissue and ripples less. The firmest, most cohesive versions are often called gummy bear implants. A silicone implant leak is hard to detect by yourself, thus the FDA recommends an ultrasound or MRI five to six years after surgery. Saline implants are filled with salt water once they are placed into the breast, and each side can take a different volume. Leaks are more visible and detectable by the patient. Silicone implants are approved for ages 22 and above, while saline implants are approved for ages 18 and above.
Both silicone and saline implants share the same silicone outer shell. The only difference is the fill. Today's silicone gel is cohesive, meaning that if the shell tears, the gel tends to hold together rather than spread. Saline implants go in empty, allowing for the shortest incision of any implant. The trade-off is feel; saline implants are firmer and more likely to ripple, especially in slim patients with little tissue of their own to cover it.
Round or teardrop
Round breast implants keep their shape even if they unintentionally rotate. Additionally, they add fullness to the upper breast and give you more cleavage. Teardrop implants carry more of their volume low for a gentler slope above and are textured to help prevent them from turning in the breast.
Most breast augmentations today use smooth, round implants. A soft round implant settles when you stand up and often takes on a more natural slope by itself. Due to its symmetry, a round implant can rotate within the breast and does not cause any visual distortion. Teardrop implants have a texturing so that they do not rotate. However, textured implants carry a higher risk of BIA-ALCL — a rare lymphoma — than smooth ones. If a teardrop implant turns, the breast can look misshapen and require another operation to correct.
Projection profile
Your chest is a crucial factor in determining the optimal breast implant width. The projection profile refers to how far it projects forward from that width. Low profile implants are wide and soft, Moderate profile implants have a natural slope with some fullness up top, and High profile implants project furthest from a narrow base. A narrow chest that wants more volume needs a higher profile, not a wider implant.
While all of the talk is about the implant volume, the projection profile is just as important. A higher profile puts that volume into projection rather than width, so the implant is narrower and fuller. A lower profile spreads it out, so the implant is wider and flatter. Manufacturers offer many different profiles to choose from, such as moderate plus and ultra high. Each brand names them a little differently. Dr. Eberle measures your breast width and chooses an implant that fits inside it. He then picks the profile that gives the volume you want.
How size is chosen
The size of your breast implants is determined by your body's natural anatomy and your desired outcome. Your frame sets the widest implant that will look natural. Your tissue decides how much implant it can cover softly. At your consultation, you will try on sizers: a real implant worn in a bra. This will help you visualize how the implant will look on your body.
Breast implants are typically measured in cubic centimeters of volume rather than in cup sizes. The number means little until it is matched to your body. Dr. Eberle measures the width of each breast, how far the breast tissue can stretch, and the distance from the nipple to the breast fold. These numbers are critical to consider, as an implant too large for your tissue can stretch the skin over time and make sagging or visible edges more likely. Photos of results you like can help Dr. Eberle see the look you have in mind.
Dr. Eberle performs a dual plane placement on primary breast augmentation patients, which places the top of the implant under the muscle and the bottom of the implant in front of the muscle. This technique allows a more natural appearance, helps with animation deformity, and reduces the risk of capsular contracture. When doing breast revisions or implant exchanges, Dr. Eberle follows the approach used in the earlier surgery.
Because the upper part of the implant sits beneath the chest muscle, there is more natural tissue covering it where the breast is thinnest, which can make the edges of the implant less noticeable. The lower part rests behind the breast tissue, which lets the implant settle into a fuller, more natural shape at the bottom of the breast. For revisions and implant exchanges, Dr. Eberle usually keeps the implant in the same pocket it was placed in before, either under or over the muscle, and he will talk through whether a change makes sense for you at your consultation.
Where the scar goes
Most breast augmentation patients have their incision in the fold beneath the breast, where the scar sits in the natural crease and is usually hidden by a bra or bikini top. For some patients, Dr. Eberle uses an incision in the armpit instead, which keeps the scar off the breast entirely. This approach is used less often and depends on your anatomy and goals, so he will tell you at your consultation whether it is a good fit for you.
The armpit approach, called trans-axillary breast augmentation, places the implant through a small incision in the natural fold of the underarm, so there is no scar on the breast itself. It tends to suit patients who want to avoid any visible mark on the breast and whose implant size and anatomy work well with this route. Because the incision is farther from the breast, it is not right for everyone, and the fold beneath the breast remains the most common choice. You can learn more on our trans-axillary breast augmentation page, and Dr. Eberle will walk you through which option fits you best at your consultation.
Dr. Eberle uses silicone and saline implants from Mentor, Allergan, and Motiva. Breast augmentation at the practice includes Mentor's enhanced warranty.
Isabreastaugmentationenough?
Some women need more than a breast augmentation. If you think you fit into any of the below, Dr. Eberle can help you decide which surgery is right for you.
Your breasts are small but sit where you want them.
Breast augmentation adds the size and fullness you want.
Your nipples sit at or below the crease under your breast.
Your breasts may need lifting as well as filling. A breast lift can be done with your implant in the same surgery, which is called an augmentation mastopexy. Other signs are nipples that point down and breasts that look long or flat.
Someone drives you home after surgery and should stay with you through the first night. You rest in a surgical bra, which supports your breasts as they heal. EXPAREL numbs the area for the first few days, and Dr. Eberle prescribes medication for any discomfort after that. Tenderness, swelling, bruising, and a tight feeling across the chest are all normal. You can usually shower after 48 hours. Keep your arms below your shoulders and avoid lifting anything heavier than about 10 pounds. Most patients return to desk work in about a week, and you can drive again once you are off prescription pain medicine and can turn the wheel comfortably.
Weeks two to six
Light cardio, such as walking or a stationary bike, can start at two weeks, and the swelling keeps going down. Wear your surgical bra day and night for about six weeks, and leave underwire bras until Dr. Eberle clears you. Keep sleeping on your back, and avoid heavy lifting, chest exercises, and anything strenuous until your six-week visit. Full exercise resumes at six weeks.
The months after
Your implants soften and settle lower into the breast over three to twelve months, which is when your result is final. Embrace dressings take tension off the healing scar, and within about a year it turns pale. Keep the scar out of the sun while it matures, so it fades as much as it can.
Following your post-op instructions closely is the best way to a smooth recovery and a result that lasts.
Risksofbreastimplants
Most breast implants last 10 to 20 years, and many last longer, but they are not lifetime devices, and you should expect to replace or remove them at some point. Like any surgery, breast augmentation also carries risks. Dr. Eberle walks through each of them with you at your consultation, so you can make your decision with the full picture in front of you.
Your body naturally forms a thin layer of scar tissue, called a capsule, around any implant. In some women this capsule thickens and tightens over time. The breast can then feel firm, sit higher or look rounder than the other side, and in more advanced cases become uncomfortable.
What helps
Placing the upper part of the implant beneath the chest muscle, as Dr. Eberle does with his dual plane technique, lowers the risk. If contracture does develop, a revision surgery can remove the tightened capsule and replace the implant.
Rippling is when the folds or edges of an implant can be seen or felt through the skin, most often along the side and lower part of the breast. It is more common with saline implants and in slim women who have little breast tissue of their own to cover the implant.
What helps
Silicone implants ripple less than saline ones, and placing the top of the implant under the muscle adds a layer of coverage where the breast is thinnest. If rippling does show, fat grafted from elsewhere on your body can soften it.
Over time, an implant can settle lower than intended, which is known as bottoming out, or drift toward the side of the chest. Either one changes the shape of the breast and can leave the two sides looking uneven.
What helps
Dr. Eberle measures the width of each breast and chooses an implant that fits within it, because an implant too large for your tissue can stretch the skin over time. If an implant does shift, a revision surgery can move it back into place.
Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma is a rare cancer of the immune system. It is not a cancer of the breast tissue itself, and it usually shows up as swelling or a buildup of fluid around the implant, often years after surgery. It has been linked mainly to textured implants rather than smooth ones.
What helps
Most breast augmentations today use smooth implants, which carry a far lower risk. When BIA-ALCL is caught early, it is readily curable, usually by removing the implant together with the capsule around it.
Some women with implants report symptoms throughout the body, such as fatigue, joint and muscle pain, or brain fog, which they believe are caused by their implants. This is often called breast implant illness. Research has not established a connection so far, but the symptoms women describe are real and are taken seriously.
What helps
If you are ever concerned, Dr. Eberle will talk it through with you. Implants can always be removed, and he can take out the implant and its capsule together in a single piece.
As with any operation, breast augmentation carries the risks of bleeding, infection, slow wound healing, and the effects of anesthesia. Some women also notice a change in nipple sensation, and the two breasts can heal slightly differently from one another.
What helps
Dr. Eberle reviews your health history before surgery and goes through each of these risks with you in person. Your surgery takes place in his Quad A-accredited operating suite in Weston.
If an implant leaks
A saline leak shows
Saline is sterile salt water, so if a saline implant leaks, your body simply absorbs it. That breast then looks noticeably smaller within a few days, so you will know right away.
A silicone leak needs a scan
Today's silicone gel is cohesive, so it tends to stay inside the implant even when the shell tears. That makes a leak hard to notice on your own, which is why the FDA recommends an ultrasound or MRI five to six years after surgery and every two to three years after that.
Every breast augmentation at the practice includes Mentor's enhanced warranty on your implants. Dr. Eberle will go over exactly what it covers at your consultation.

Usually in the fold under the breast, where a bra or bikini top hides it. Some patients can have it in the armpit instead. The scar turns pale within about a year.
Stop smoking and vaping at least four weeks before surgery and for several weeks after, because nicotine slows healing. About two weeks before, pause aspirin, ibuprofen, and supplements such as fish oil and vitamin E, which can increase bleeding. Dr. Eberle will go over everything you take at your consultation.
Don't eat or drink after midnight the night before. Wear a loose top that buttons or zips in the front, and arrange for an adult to drive you home and stay with you the first night.
The surgery itself usually takes one to two hours. With check-in beforehand and an hour or two in recovery afterward, plan on spending about half a day at the office. You go home the same day.
Yes. A certified registered nurse anesthetist gives you general anesthesia. There is no breathing tube, so your throat is not sore afterward. You go home the same day.
Most patients are back at a desk in about a week. Cardio can start at two weeks and full exercise at six. Implants soften and settle over three to twelve months.
Most women describe the first few days as tightness and soreness across the chest rather than sharp pain. Dr. Eberle numbs the area with EXPAREL during surgery, which eases those first days, and he prescribes medication for any discomfort after that. Most patients are back at a desk within about a week.
Sleep on your back for the first few weeks, ideally with your upper body slightly raised, so there is no pressure on your healing breasts. Wait to sleep on your side or stomach until Dr. Eberle tells you your implants have settled enough.
Right after surgery, implants usually sit high and feel firm, because the chest muscle and skin are still tight around them. Over the following months they soften and settle lower into the breast, which is often called drop and fluff. Your result is final somewhere between three and twelve months after surgery.
Breast augmentation is one of the most common cosmetic operations, and for most women it goes smoothly. Like any surgery it carries risks, including capsular contracture, rippling, and shifting, and rarely BIA-ALCL, which are explained in the risks section above.
Dr. Eberle is a double board-certified plastic surgeon, and your surgery takes place in his Quad A-accredited operating suite in Weston. He goes through every risk with you before you decide.
Most women can. The implant sits behind the breast tissue, with its upper part beneath the chest muscle, and an incision in the breast fold or the armpit does not pass through the milk ducts. If you plan to have children, mention it at your consultation so Dr. Eberle can take it into account.
Yes, and you should keep up with them. Tell the imaging center you have implants when you book, because the technologist takes a few extra views to see all of the breast tissue around them. Placing the implant partly under the muscle also makes your mammograms easier to read.
Most last 10 to 20 years, and many last longer. They are not lifetime devices, so plan on replacing or removing them one day.
You may if your nipples sit at or below the crease under your breast or point down, or if your breasts look long or flat. A lift can be done with your implant in the same surgery, which is called an augmentation mastopexy.
