A clinically rigorous reference on breast implant technology — every type, every profile, every brand, every surface. Plus surgical practice with Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ayhan Işık Erdal, double board-certified plastic surgeon (FACS, FEBOPRAS) in Istanbul.
The choice between them is anatomic, not preferential. Sagging breasts cannot be lifted with implants alone — they require lift surgery combined with implant placement. Knowing which operation suits your anatomy is the first decision.
For breasts that have lost volume but have not significantly sagged. The nipple-areola complex sits at or above the inframammary fold. Surgery places implants without altering breast position. Approximately 80% of implant patients.
For breasts that have lost both volume and position. The nipple-areola complex sits below the inframammary fold or points downward. Surgery combines implant placement with lift technique. Approximately 20% of implant patients.

Every implant carries five orthogonal specifications. Each combination produces different aesthetic and physical outcomes. Understanding these decisions is essential to consenting to a meaningful surgical plan.
Silicone gel · cohesive · saline · structured saline · B-Lite lightweight.
Round · anatomical (teardrop) · ergonomic.
Low · moderate · moderate-plus · high · extra-high projection.
Smooth · microtextured · macrotextured · polyurethane-coated.
Motiva · Mentor · Natrelle · Polytech · Sebbin · Nagor.
Subglandular · submuscular · dual plane · subfascial.
A small selection of recent cases. Each case shows three angles — frontal, oblique, and lateral. Implant specifications and placement recorded with each.
Photographs at 5 days to 2 weeks post-op showing early healing — final results emerge at 3-6 months. All photographs published with patient consent. Privacy preserved (no facial identification).
