You’re considering breast augmentation, but you’re not sure whether to go for shape-memory, round or anatomical implants? The choice may seem simple at first, but in reality it has a huge influence on the final result. Shape, visual appearance, everyday behaviour – every detail counts.
Thanks to their intelligent gel, memory implants adapt to your body’s natural movements.
So how do you make the right choice for you? We explain it all, without the jargon.
Memory implants, the most natural and preferred option
This is the new generation of implants. Thanks to an intelligent gel, their shape adapts to your position.
- Elongated: the implant is evenly distributed.
- Standing: the gel descends slightly, imitating the natural gravity of the breast.
As a result, your breasts move with you and adapt to your movements. These implants offer a look that remains harmonious in all postures.
Why we recommend them at Entourage:
- Less rigid than round or anatomical implants.
- Soft, natural rendering.
- Suitable for most body shapes.
- May be round in shape, but behave like a natural breast.
At Clinique Entourage in Lausanne, we exclusively use implants from the Motiva® brand! To find out why, please read this article.
How do I choose the right shape?
There is no universal answer. The right choice is the one that’s right for you.
Here are a few guidelines to help you think about your options:
| Criteria | Shape memory | Rounds | Anatomical |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shape | Evolving according to posture | Symmetrical | Water drop |
| Décolleté | Natural and flexible | Tagged | Discreet |
| Behavior | Dynamics | Fixed | Fixed |
| Recommended if… | You want a natural, moving effect | You want visible volume | If you’re looking for a discreet finish |
What about size?
Implant volume is also a key choice. An implant of 200 to 300 cc will give a subtle effect. From 400 cc upwards, the change is more marked.
But it all depends on :
- Your morphology (rib cage, height, weight)
- Your lifestyle (sporty, maternity…)
- Your style (discreet or assertive?)
Here again, a consultation with your surgeon is essential. At Entourage, we use Crisalix 3D simulation to project your result.
The importance of your choices!
Breast augmentation is a procedure that demands expertise and precision. The choice of surgeon and clinic directly influences the result, safety and recovery. It’s not just a question of fitting an implant, but of creating harmony with your silhouette.
Choosing the right surgeon
A good surgeon is not chosen at random. Here are a few points to check:
- He must specialize in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery.
- He or she must have significant experience in breast augmentation.
- He must be a good listener and offer a personalized service.
- It must clearly explain the risks and benefits.
A good surgeon doesn’t push you to choose a particular type of implant. He analyzes your morphology, size, lifestyle and expectations to recommend the best option.
Choosing a clinic you can trust
The quality of the clinic plays a key role in safety and recovery. A well-equipped clinic reduces risks and guarantees optimal follow-up.
Here’s what a good clinic should offer:
- A medical team experienced in cosmetic surgery.
- Rigorous post-operative follow-up to monitor scarring and healing.
- A reassuring environment for serene recovery.
Post-operative care
After implant placement, follow-up care is essential. A good surgeon and a good clinic ensure :
- Regular consultations to monitor progress.
- Advice on how to avoid complications such as capsulitis.
- Support in case of doubt or discomfort.
Careful follow-up ensures long-lasting results and uncomplicated recovery.
