Round Implants
Women undergoing breast augmentation in Orange County have traditionally chosen round implants. Round shaped breast implants are soft to the touch and round in appearance. They are very popular in fashion magazines, and also among celebrities. Round implants look a lot like the natural breasts and move naturally from side to side when you are lying down. They are usually filled with saline or silicone.
Shaped Implants
Shaped implants like the Natrelle 410 are very popular because they are ‘form stable’. That means they hold their shape, and they also closely resemble the natural contour and shape of the breasts. So if you don’t want round implants, and prefer an alternative that looks so natural that your friends won’t be able to tell that you’ve breast augmentation, then the shaped implants are the ideal choice. In addition, the shaped implants don’t cause scarring, and this will prevent the breasts from hardening.
