Drop Silicone or Circular Silicone? In breast augmentation surgeries the prosthesis figures are defined as drops and circular. One of the most frequently asked question about breast augmentation surgery is that should the silicone be circular or drop? Aesthetic surgeries that fix problems like structural smallness, weight gain-loss effect and sagging after childbirth, loss caused by cancer, ratio difference between the two breasts are called breast augmentation surgeries. The material used in this surgery is called silicone prosthesis or implant. Research and development is being conducted about breast prosthesis since the 19th century. According to the latest technology the prosthesis have two types: drop and circular. The adventitia is biocompatible with the body’s organic structure and the inner part of the silicone is filled with a half rigid cohessive gel which is a suitable material for the breast tissue. The type of the prosthesis is decided during the examination depending on the patient’s anatomical structure, preferance and the doctors professional approach. Saying that one prosthesis is better than the other wouldn’t be a accurate approach. More clearly, saying that drop prosthesis give a more natural look than the circular one or circular prosthesis look better in a low-cut dress is not accurate. Suitability and a good result mostly depends on the doctors professionality who will conduct the surgery. Drop silicone or circular silicone, this will be decided in the examination. You also can see which one will fit more with the 3D visualization system. 3D Vectra can show how both will look in both prosthesis with the simulation technique by taking the picture of the patients breast. With this system the patient can see how the different prosthesis will look in all angles and either naked or in underwear. Your examination will be conducted with the 3D visualization system. Still it shouldn’t be forgotten that the silicone size is decided upon the patient’s shoulder width, weight and anatomical structure and the same goes for the prosthesis type, these factors will be considered when deciding if it is going to be drop or circular silicone.
