Enhance Your Figure with Breast Implants
Breast implants are used to enlarge small breasts, create symmetry between the breasts, and achieve an overall more balanced, proportionate figure. Implants vary in size and shape, and your choice of implant will significantly impact your satisfaction in your surgical results. Our plastic surgeon, Dr. Stephen P. Hardy, has years of experience performing breast augmentation procedures and will work closely with you to develop an individualized treatment plan that can help you look and feel your best. You can learn more about breast implants during a consultation at our Polson practice. Reach out to us today to schedule your initial appointment.
Breast Implants: An Overview
Breast implants consist of a silicone shell filled with either a saline solution or silicone gel. Our practice prefers to use silicone because of its lifelike feel and appearance. A third type of implant, commonly known as a gummy bear implant, is also filled with silicone, but uses a thicker, more cohesive gel that can hold its shape better than traditional silicone implants.
Implants can be placed either under or over the pectoral muscle, and are typically placed through an incision in the armpit, beneath the crease of the breast, or around the nipple. Our doctor uses advanced surgical techniques that minimize and conceal the appearance of any scarring after surgery.

Choosing Your Implants
During a consultation, your doctor will first discuss your goals with you. Common factors that will help determine which implant is right for you include:
- Shape: Implants are available in round and teardrop shapes. Teardrop implants are also called anatomically shaped implants because they mimic the shape of a natural breast. They are often used during breast reconstruction surgery. Some women choose round implants because if the implant shifts, it will not alter the shape of the breast.
- Size: Silicone implants are available in a variety of sizes to help meet a range of goals. Whether you desire a moderate enhancement, or a voluptuous new bust, we can provide an implant to help you achieve the appearance you envision.
