Today’s women are more successful than ever in achieving their educational, career, and personal goals. However, when women are unhappy with the size and shape of their breasts, it can affect every facet of their lives. That is why so many women choose to take control of their appearance and undergo the breast augmentation procedure to increase their overall confidence.
Breast augmentation patients play an integral role in deciding how their enhanced breasts will look and feel; women can select the type of implant, size of the implants, placement of implants, and incisional approach employed during surgery. Dallas plastic surgeon Paul Pin is committed to educating each patient about her options so the breast augmentation is as personalized as possible.

Breast implant manufacturers fabricate round and shaped implants for use during breast augmentation surgery. Round implants are used in the majority of breast augmentation surgeries, and are capable of producing good volume, projection, and cleavage. However, some patients feel that round implants do not look as natural as teardrop implants, which more closely resemble the sloping shape of the breasts.
Breast implants also come in two surface types: smooth and textured. Surgeons use smooth implants during most augmentation procedures; smooth implants move around in the pocket with each body movement. Textured implants have a rough outer surface and are less likely to move around in the chest, keeping the implant in the same place.
