乳房Implants for MTF Breast Augmentation
Saline or silicone breast implants are both options for transgender top surgery. Both types have a silicone outer shell, but they differ in fill material used within the outer shell. Our team is also proud to offer a third type of breast implant known as a cohesive gel or "gummy bear" implant. Any of the three options may ultimately be a good match for the final look you want.
Our team wants you to feel great about the way your breasts look after MTF breast enlargement. We have the experience and medical expertise to factor your shoulder breadth and breast width into your breast implant options. These measurements can influence what types and sizes of breast implants will work for you.
Silicone乳房Implants
Silicone breast implants are filled with silicone gel. Silicone gel breast implants are generally considered to provide a very natural look and feel, since the silicone gel highly resembles the properties of human fat.
The natural appearance and feel of silicone breast implants has made them an ideal choice for many transgender women. Compared to a woman assigned the female sex at birth, transgender women tend to have less breast tissue, which means less tissue coverage of the breast implant. Since silicone breast implants are not prone to rippling and tend to look a lot like human fat, they can be a great choice when less tissue coverage is available.
Sientra GummyBear Implants
These innovative implants are filled with a form stable, highly cohesive silicone gel. What this means is that your breasts will look and feel optimally natural, while maintaining their shape whether you are sitting, standing or lying down. They are also unlikely to leak in the event of rupture, because the gel maintains its shape even if the outer shell is torn. Sientra cohesive implants provide you with options including a smooth or textured outer shell, and a round or teardrop (anatomical) shape.
