What are Round Saline Breast Implants? Particularly the Smooth Round High Profile Breast Implants, Style 3000 from Mentor? What are their advantages and disadvantages?
As the name suggests the Round Saline Breast Implants are round in shape (not anatomically shaped), have a high profile, giving them more of a bulge on side view (the most perkiness for your buck), and are encased in a smooth silicone elastomer shell. The advantages of using textured versus smooth breast implants are discussed in another section of this text, but are more related to physician preference, and beliefs regarding skin palpability than scientific data. The biggest advantage of the round high profile implants is this protuberance, considered youthful by many patients, and plastic surgeons. Another considerable advantage is the ability to use higher volume implants in patients with narrow chest walls because the width of the implant base is narrower. The disadvantages include a sacrifice of cleavage, owing to the decrease in the base diameter of the implant, and a drop in upper pole fullness for the same reason.
