If you’re feeling unsatisfied with the size or shape of your breasts—whether they seem too small, uneven, or have changed due to weight loss, pregnancy, or aging—breast augmentation at American Medical Center may be the solution. This procedure enhances breast size and contour using breast implants to create a more balanced and attractive appearance.
What Are Breast Implants?
Breast implants are FDA-approved medical devices used to alter the size, shape, and projection of the breasts. They come in various diameters, volumes, and profiles, allowing for a personalized fit that complements your body and desired results.
Types of Implant Materials
-
Saline Implants: Filled with sterile saltwater inside a silicone shell. These are inserted empty and filled once in place. They typically require smaller incisions and are approved for patients over 18. They’re often considered safer in case of rupture.
-
Silicone Implants: Filled with cohesive silicone gel, these are preferred by many due to their natural feel and appearance. They are FDA-approved for patients over 22.
Implant Size and Shape Options
-
Size: Measured in cubic centimeters (cc). The higher the cc value, the larger the implant.
-
Profile: Refers to how far the implant projects from the chest. Options include:
-
Low/Moderate Profile: Offers a natural appearance, often best for broader chest frames.
-
High Profile: Provides more fullness and is ideal for a dramatic projection.
-
-
Shape:
-
Round Implants: Provide equal fullness in both the top and bottom of the breast.
-
Anatomical (Teardrop) Implants: Designed to mimic natural breast shape with more volume at the bottom. These often come with a textured shell to prevent rotation.

What Is Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?
For those seeking a subtler enhancement, fat transfer breast augmentation is an alternative option. It involves harvesting fat from your body via liposuction and injecting it into the breasts.
This method may be combined with implants for enhanced results but is typically limited to a smaller size increase (about half to one cup size).
