Deciding to undergo breast augmentation surgery in the UK is a big decision that can bring both excitement and apprehension. We understand that patients can feel overwhelmed by the numerous factors to consider when planning for surgery. However, we assure our patients that they are not alone in this process, and we are here to assist them every step of the way.
At Centre for Surgery in London, we believe that transparency is essential in reducing patient anxiety, and we ensure that patients are well-informed about the entire surgical process. Before undergoing a breast augmentation, there are several critical steps to take, including choosing the right implant with the help of your plastic surgeon.

During the consultation, we guide patients through the implant selection process by considering various factors. We take into account the size of the implant that the patient desires, the type of the implant, the placement of the implant (subfascial, under or over the muscle), and the type of implant (round or teardrop). Our team ensures that patients are fully informed of each option and help them make an informed decision based on their specific needs and goals.

What is an Implant Profile and What Are Your Options?
When considering breast augmentation, choosing the right implant profile is a crucial decision. It refers to the extent of projection that the implant will provide from the chest wall when you stand up. During a consultation with your plastic surgeon, you will have to consider the width, volume, and profile of the implant.
There are different types of implant profiles, including low, moderate, and high profile implants. Low profile implants project less from the chest wall, while moderate and high profile implants project out more. However, it’s important to note that there are varying degrees of projection between these three profile types, providing patients with multiple options to choose from.
Your chest width is another crucial factor to consider when choosing the right implant profile. Wider implants typically have lower profiles and are best suited for women with wider chests. On the other hand, moderate and higher profile implants are typically smaller in width and better suited for women with narrower chests.
Lower profile implants are better suited for patients who want a more subtle enhancement, or for those with wider chest walls who want to avoid excessive projection. On the other hand, higher profile implants are more suitable for patients who desire a fuller, more rounded look with greater projection, which can also enhance cleavage.
In addition to width and projection, it’s important to consider your personal goals and preferences when choosing the right implant profile. Your plastic surgeon can guide you through this process, taking into account your unique body shape and desired outcome.
How to Choose The Right Implant Profile For You
When considering which implant profile is best for you, it is important to take into account your individual body and breast anatomy as well as the desired outcome you are hoping to achieve. During your consultation with your plastic surgeon at Centre for Surgery, they will take measurements and discuss your goals with you, before recommending specific breast implant sizes that will work best for your body.
It is essential that the width of the implant matches your breast width, as this will ensure a natural and proportionate result. To help you make the best decision for your body, you will be given the opportunity to try on 5-7 different implant sizes of varying projections in a sports bra.
It is important to remember that the final result will not be an exact replica of what you see when trying on different implant sizes in the sports bra, but this process will give you a good idea of how different implants will look on your body.
Ultimately, the carefully selected implant will provide a natural, teardrop shape while also adding fullness to the upper pole of the breast. With the right implant profile and the expert guidance of your plastic surgeon, you can achieve the beautiful and natural-looking results you desire.
