Anatomical implants best suit those women, who lack breast tissue and would like more natural-looking breasts through breast augmentation in London.
- Will My Implants Be Unders or Overs?
The decision of how your implants should be rests solely on your surgeon and how he assesses your implants should be. Over the muscle implants are less invasive, so under the muscle implants are generally opted for in case you have really small breasts or lack any breast tissue that would be to lock the implants in place. Over the muscle implants during breast augmentation in London, hence are more suited for women who have enough breast tissue to cover the implant, without actually being able to feel the firmness of the implant underneath. With an over the muscle implant, your surgeon will find it easier to fit the implant without having to venture too near to the muscle. There are cases wherein, the implants are inserted ‘dual plane’, or what you can call partially under the muscle. Generally, you will not be able to have much of a choice regarding how your implant should be placed during breast augmentation in London, it is really up to your surgeon to decide which method is the best for you.

When one says ‘profile’ it refers to the width of the implant and the distance that the breast will end up sticking out of the chest. While having a consultation, your surgeon will show you a wide selection of implants with their projection/profile types such as – low, medium, full, extra full etc. and you will be able to try them for size and see how they suit your body the best.
- How is the ‘CC’ Size of my Implants Decided Upon?
The size of the breast implants is actually not determined by the cup size it is rather measured by cubic centimetres or ‘cc’. This is done so, since a surgeon can’t really guarantee what size your cup size would be, post a breast augmentation in London, but what he can recommend is the amount of ‘cc’s to be added to your existing cup size, in order to make a difference. For example, if you’re a small ‘B’ cup size and want to go up to a ‘DD’, then you would have to roughly get 450 cc implants. As mentioned in the point above, your profile needs to be taken into consideration as well, before arriving at a conclusion. Other factors like your body shape, frame etc. will have to be taken into consideration before the final decision can be taken, which to be honest is a standard procedure for other cosmetic procedures like nose job in London etc.
