Breast augmentation, or breast enhancement, is a cosmetic surgery procedure aimed at enhancing one’s appearance and boosting confidence by altering the shape and size of the breasts. The most popular form of breast augmentation for many people is silicone breast augmentation. Nowadays, silicone breast augmentation offers a variety of options in terms of size and shape, including round and teardrop shapes, which can be chosen to suit one’s body shape and desires appropriately.

Skin texture can also vary, including smooth, textured, and nano. Smooth implants are relatively smooth and translucent, making them easy to insert and resulting in a quicker surgery with less recovery time. However, there is a risk of capsular contracture and rippling, so regular massage is recommended to reduce these risks. Textured implants have a slightly rough texture, making them harder to insert and leading to longer surgery and swelling periods. However, they help reduce the risk of capsular contracture and have a longer lifespan. Nano implants are a special type of silicone implant that combines the advantages of different types, making them easy to insert, reducing swelling, and decreasing the risk of capsular contracture.

Breast augmentation with silicone implants comes in two shapes: round and teardrop. Round implants are suitable for those who desire firm, round breasts, enhancing the overall appearance. They are soft and more liquid-like compared to other shapes.

Teardrop implants are suitable for those who want a more natural look. The shape resembles a drop of water, with a larger base and a flatter top, creating a subtle slope similar to natural breasts.

When choosing the size of silicone implants, it’s important to consider body shape and desired outcomes. Common sizes include:

• 250cc: Suitable for a subtle increase in breast size, enhancing natural appearance.
• 275cc: Provides a slightly more noticeable increase while still maintaining a natural look.
• 300cc: Offers a significant increase in size, enhancing curves while still looking natural.
• 325cc: Provides a noticeable increase in size, enhancing curves and adding a bit more sexiness.
• 350cc: Considered large and often chosen by celebrities and models for a sexy look.
• 375cc and above: Considered very large and may be too big for smaller frames, but can create a bold look for those who prefer it.

It’s important to consult with a qualified surgeon to determine the best size and type of implant for your body and desired outcome.

Breast Augmentation: How many cc?

Aside from the shape of the breasts, size and texture are also important. Most Thais prefer breast augmentation in the range of 250 cc to 375 cc, depending on size, body proportion, shape, and personal preference. The two most popular brands are Mentor and Motiva, both of which offer standard silicone implants. However, they differ in terms of shape, texture, and flexibility.

Mentor Silicone Implants: Mentor is a leading company in breast implant production, with over 50 years of experience. In 2009, Johnson & Johnson took over Mentor. Mentor MemoryGel implants are FDA and MHRA approved, with over 20 years of medical data, testing, and development. 97% of patients (international) admire the soft feel of Mentor implants. They offer various shapes and sizes, making it convenient for both surgeons and patients to choose.

Advantages of Mentoring with Silicone MENTOR:

• Resistant to pressure, air compression, and temperature changes.
• Maintains shape like MemoryGel; when compressed, it can fully recover without distortion.
• Cohesive gel with tightly bonded molecules; if the implant tears, there is no leakage.
• Suitable for Asian proportions.
• Provides a lifted look, emphasizing the breast mound.
• Suitable for cases with minimal tissue or corrective cases for wrinkles.
• Very small incisions.
• Soft and natural feel like real breasts.

Motiva Silicone Breast Implants: Motiva has developed silicone implants with benefits and positive effects on the human body. Made from the latest gel-type silicone material with the Ergonomix technology, which is highly flexible. This reduces the length of the surgical scar. This material is also a premium-level supplement. The shape is well balanced with the body proportions, allowing natural movement and shape of the breast. Moreover, the touch sensation is like real breasts. Motiva implants have been tested and confirmed by the FDA to be safe. They are considered the most effective and safe silicone implants currently available.

Softness: Motiva Silicone Breast Implants are not just rough or sandy, but finely textured because they are produced in Nano Texture form. This makes the touch and softness between Mentor and Motiva implants somewhat in between, being smoother and softer than Mentor’s sandy texture and almost as smooth as a smooth surface.

Shape: Motiva Breast Implants have a distinctive shape in terms of density and bulging. They emphasize a clear breast mound without wrinkles, but the base is narrow, making them appear slightly smaller than Mentor implants of similar sizes, but still smaller than Mentor’s. This makes them suitable for those who want a full, rounded breast mound without the narrow or small base. Mentor, on the other hand, emphasizes a natural look.

Breast Augmentation: Silicone Mentor vs. Motiva, which one is better? For those with small breasts and wanting to increase their size, add volume, or upsize, I recommend Mentor silicone because it is standard and safe, with a variety of sizes available from 200 cc to over 500 cc, with the popular round shape.

For those with small breast tissue and wanting full, plump, close-fitting, and well-defined breasts, prioritizing natural touch, I recommend Motiva Silk Surface Plus and MemoryGel Xtra because these two silicone models have developed new gel textures that fill up the full shape of the silicone, enhancing the curve, prominence, and beauty of the breasts. Developed from the original round shape, the resulting breasts are fuller, more prominent, and softer.

For those who like premium quality and advanced technology, I recommend Motiva Ergonomix. It is the ultimate silicone implant that focuses on a natural look, thanks to technology that allows the implant’s shape to change with body movements, whether walking, sitting, or lying down. The shape of the breasts always looks natural. For those with sagging breasts, Motiva Ergonomix will be very beautiful. In addition, Motiva Ergonomix also has a chip system for storing surgery data. In terms of price, it will increase according to the technology as well.

Breast Surgery: Not only does it make breasts larger, but it also helps improve self-image. This is not just for those with small, flat, or wide breasts, but also for those whose breasts have sagged, caused by breastfeeding, increasing age, or wearing the wrong bra, can correct breast shape.

Where is the best place for breast augmentation?

When choosing breast augmentation surgery, you should choose a reliable hospital, surgeons who perform the surgery must be specialists, and board-certified doctors because breast augmentation requires anesthesia, so it is necessary to have a board-certified doctor to closely monitor the patient.
