Personalized Implant Selection

Implant sizing goes beyond cup measurements. Surgeons recommend sizes based on individual body proportions, height, weight, and aesthetic goals. Precise measurements in cubic centimeters ensure the most appropriate selection for each patient.

Strategic Implant Placement

Columbia Aesthetic Plastic Surgery typically recommends submuscular placement, which reduces potential cosmetic complications. Surgeons thoroughly evaluate each patient's unique tissue characteristics to determine optimal implant positioning.

Placement Options

  • Submuscular: Under pectoralis muscle
  • Subglandular: Above muscle
  • Individualized recommendation based on patient assessment
