Enhance your figure with the type of breast implant that naturally reflects your breast
Feeling good about yourself, your body and your image isn’t just a matter of appearance; it’s a way of boosting your confidence. If you have been thinking about having breast surgery, you’re bound to have wondered: What kind of breast implant is right for me?
Nowadays, there are as many options as there are biotypes and needs. We are all unique, and our decisions about our appearance need to reflect that.
Types of breast implant: What size is right for you
When we talk about breast implant types, we’re not just referring to the volume and style, but a combination of key factors that affect the end result and how you’ll feel about yourself.
✔️ The shape of the implant
✔️ The surface of the implant
✔️ The positioning technique
Silimed: The only manufacturer with four different types of surfaces
A good choice begins with a benchmark manufacturer. Silimed, a leader in innovation and safety, is the only manufacturer that offers four different surfaces in breast implants, adapted to every need. More specifically, the BioDesign Collection was developed, a line of different types of implants based on the shape which adapts to the patient’s body type.
Silimed is the most experienced manufacturer in polyurethane breast implants, even developing its own vulcanisation technology. Silimed is the only manufacturer in Europe with a conical implant specially recommended for breasts with ptosis I and II, making it sometimes possible to avoid scars linked to a mastopexy.
Micro-textured surface made with our own gas diffusion texturization method (Diffusion Gas Method) with the formation of open pores on the membrane, without using reverse printing, sugar or sodium chloride.
Soft Plus is the result of the evolution of the classic smooth surface added to the HSC+ gel and the BioDesign concept, with different projections for each of the bases.
This new type of implant offers additional benefits compared to smooth implants, such as the filling of the entire breast.
Silimed round breast implants (Maximum model) have a higher projection than other manufacturers and the perfect volume x base distribution. The Soft Plus breast implant is recommended for:
- Primary breast augmentation or replacement, particularly in patients wanting a high, more prominent pole, with complete filling and increased breast projection
- Suitable for primary reconstructions
- Used in whichever placement the surgeon feels is best: sub-glandular, sub-muscular or dual plane placement.
This line is a more classic option of round breast implants. For the Standard Line of breast implants, Silimed offers the smooth surface which offers high versatility of uses and a more natural breast filling. Recommended for patients who wish to correct, enlarge and have a high, more prominent pole.
Smooth breast implants are made with a mechanically resistant silicone elastomer membrane, with a low-bleed treatment, a matter of safety.
They are filled with high-cohesive and high-performance HSC gel.
Each woman is unique and each kind of surface has a purpose. You and your surgeon will agree on what kind of breast implant is best suited for you and your lifestyle.
This isn’t about a standard; it’s about personalisation. Silimed’s exclusive line of BioDesign Collection breast implants offers balanced, natural results thanks to the different shapes, measurements and projections to adapt to the different needs and female biotypes.
💎 Anatomical Implants
Perfect for a more natural result, suited to your body.
– Natural: teardrop-shaped implants with a round base, recommended for patients who want a subtle, natural filling at the mid and lower part of the breast, with a balanced volume and without being excessively prominent.
– Enhance: breast implant with an oval-shaped base, suitable for women with a long, narrow chest, filling the transition between the thoracic wall and the upper pole of the breast thanks to the enhanced filling of the upper pole.
– Nuance: anatomical implant with an oval-shaped base, suitable for women with a short, wide chest so that it can fill the lower pole specifically, correcting the appearance of wider, separated breasts at the sides.
Available in the True Texture (micro-textured implant) and Pure Polyurethane surface (implant coated with polyurethane foam) with four different projections to reach the desired result.
💎 Round implants
- Maximum is ideal for those who want more projection and more filling of the upper pole, with a more pronounced cleavage. Available in all three surfaces of the BioDesign range (Pure Polyurethane, True Texture and Soft Plus) and different projections to achieve the best result.
💎 Conical implants
- Advance Model, our conical implant, is an exclusive Silimed solution coated in polyurethane foam.
This type of implant is particularly recommended for women seeking a younger breast as its greater projection, thanks to the conical shape and elevation of the nipple-areola complex, offers super projection.What’s more, the Advance breast implant is ideal for women with pseudoptosis.
Before your breast implant surgery: Find your ideal breast surgeon
Choosing a plastic surgeon is one of the most important decisions you’ll make before undergoing breast surgery.
This professional should not only inspire confidence, but must also have official qualifications and the experience needed to guide you throughout the process. From the pre-operative stage to optimal recovery care after the surgery, clarifying your questions about costs, risks and potential complications.
They will be the one to assess your specific needs and determine the best approach for you, from the type of implant and size that best suits your body and lifestyle to the most appropriate surgical technique to achieve the desired results, as well as essential aspects regarding the pre-operative stage and care for optimal recovery.

FAQs about the different types of implant
There are all sorts of questions that arise once you decide to go ahead with breast surgery. From the earliest phases of the pre-operative stage to the post-operative stage and lifestyle.
What type of breast implant is most recommended?
There is no one breast implant that is recommended for all women. The selection depends on your biotype, the aesthetic result you want and your surgeon’s recommendations.
It is a process of understanding yourself, connecting to your desires and defining the image you want to project, along with your surgeon.
Think about:
✔️ Your lifestyle (sports, activities, etc.)
✔️ Your figure and biotype
✔️ The image you want to achieve: more volume, natural appearance, or a balance between the two
✔️ The security and confidence your surgeon gives you by having a leading manufacturer like Silimed.
What type of implant is better for a natural result?
Anatomical implants are often preferred for a natural result, whereas round implants offer more projection and volume. What’s essential is having a personalised assessment.
Silimed offers three different types of anatomical breast implants for this more natural, discreet result.
-
Natural ••
round base • Folding profile • medium pole
Breast augmentation without excessively marking the cervix, giving a more natural appearance.
Natural
-
Nuance ••
Oval Base • Anatomical Profile • Lower Pole

Nuance
-
Enhance ••
Oval Base • Anatomical Profile • Top Post
Filler for the upper pole of the breasts, for tall, thin women with long, narrow chests.

Even so, the end result depends not only on the implant used, but also on the surgical technique and each patient’s characteristics.
What types of implant are most popular among patients?
When we talk about the most popular types of breast implant, it’s not just aesthetic trends that have an impact, but also comfort, the natural appearance of the end result and the suitability according to each woman’s lifestyle.
In recent years, many patients are opting for anatomical implants, which reproduce the breast’s natural fall and offer a balanced, discreet appearance. However, round implants continue to be very popular among those who want a more pronounced cleavage and increased volume at the upper pole.
Another trend on the rise is the customisation of breast implants: choosing not just the shape, but also the projection and the type of surface so that the implant is 100% suited to the patient’s physiognomy and expectations.
In short, the most popular type of implant is the one that reflects your essence and boosts your confidence. What’s important is not following a trend, but choosing the breast implant that blends best with your body and your desires.
