Implant Options & Surgical Techniques

Implant Types & Shapes
- Silicone gel implants (soft, natural-feel) — all implants used are of high quality and latest generation.
- Shape options:
  - Round: Adds fullness to the upper breast.
  - Anatomical (teardrop): More natural slope and contour.
Implant Placement & Pocket Types
- Subglandular (above muscle) — for patients with sufficient natural tissue
- Submuscular / Dual-plane (partially under muscle) — often preferred for natural look and comfort
- Choice depends on your body’s natural tissue thickness and skin elasticity (pinch test during consultation).
Incision Options
- Inframammary (under breast fold)
- Periareolar (around nipple-areola)
- Transaxillary (underarm) — if suitable and desired
- Inframammary is often preferred for lowest long-term complications.

Risks & Considerations

- Capsule formation around implant — occurs naturally; in ~ 10% cases over many years may require implant exchange.
- Very rare association with implant and anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) — treated by implant + capsule removal.
- Scarring: depends on incision type; inframammary and periareolar generally less visible over time.
- Implant longevity: Modern implants used by Ocean Clinic come with lifetime guarantee; replacement only if complications arise or if patient desires change.
