Choosing the Right Breast Implant
If you are considering breast lift in Jacksonville, choosing the right breast implant may be important in achieving the appearance you desire. If you choose to have implants added to your procedure, during your consultation, Dr. Csikai will help you select the size and type of implants most suited to achieving your goals. Dr. Csikai’s recommendations will consider your physical size, the shape and width of your chest and your breasts. Dr. Csikai will also consider the activities that make up your typical day such as the types of clothes you like to wear and any activities and exercises that you do. This information coupled with your goals will help Dr. Csikai recommend the best implants for you.
Breast Implant Sizes
The size of breast implants are measured in cubic centimeters or cc’s rather than bra cup-size. This is because there are no true standards in cup size. It seems that every brand’s cup size is a little different. But, if you have a rough idea of your desired cup size, we can estimate the implant size and possibly shape that will most accurately achieve your desired appearance. There are other factors such as implant placement; above or below the muscle and the type of implants that will all be considered in recommending implant sizes for your breast lift in Jacksonville.
Types of Breast Implants
Dr. Csikai offers a number of different types of breast implants to assure that he can properly address the unique goals of each patient. There are three types of breast implants: saline, silicone and shaped gel. Saline and silicone breast implants are available with a smooth or textured surface. Shaped gel breast implants are only available with a textured surface.
Dr. Csikai recommends saline implants for most patients for a number of reasons. Insertion and placement can be performed through a smaller incision, the implant is filled with saline after it is placed allowing for more precise sizing. And in the event of a rupture, saline is simply absorbed by the body. The only patients that are not good candidates for saline breast implants are women with very little body fat and those with thin breast skin. These patient are more likely to experience implant rippling. In choosing the type of implant you prefer, you will be able to hold and feel the differences of each type of implant during your initial consultation.

Breast Implants

The addition of the downward incision allows for additional contouring of the breasts.
- Wise (Anchor) Incision: As with the other two incision patterns, The anchor incisions are made around the areola, then from the bottom of the areola down to the fold, (where the bottom of the breast meets the torso, and another incision is made horizontally in the fold, centered on the vertical incision.
