What are the softest silicone implants available in the UK?

Question

I’m looking to have breast augmentation done in the UK and want to know what the softest implant brand on offer is in the UK? I know in the USA it’s Sientra, but not all surgeons offer this, so am looking for a UK equivalent. Also is the gummy bear or silicone going to feel more natural? I have a petite build with little breast tissue and low body fat -worried about rippling with silicone implants but also being able to feel the implant with highly cohesive gummy bear implants.

Dear wanderbust,
breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.
