Silimed Conical Implants - Will They Make my Breasts Pointed?

Question

I previously posted this Q. Unaware alot of surgeons didnt know about conical implants. Please see this link; http://www.pureimplants.co.uk/range.asp I have just found that my surgeon has picked these implants for me.While I choose ccs etc based on my preference,the volume of my implant only comes in this shape. Im wondering if this shaped implant will give me a more 'pointy' result due to the pole being in the centre.Does anyone has experience with this shape of implant?

The problem with Implants is that the Shape on the table is not always the shape inside your body. We have learned this with anatomical shaped implants.

Since Silimed is not FDA-approved in the U.S., none of us over here have any experience with this conical shape.  

	But, off the top of my head, I'd prefer a more rounded shape to the 1950's cone-bra effect!  I'm not sure this shape will catch on over here, even if it were available....

Probably no difference in shape.Years ago tear drop implants were popular.A surgeon did follow up ammo's or MRI after 6 months and the tear drop became round so I would think in the end the conical will be round.

Babak Dadvand, MD · Answer

If your question is whether anyone has had experience with these implants, I would venture a guess that most if not all U.S. trained and based plastic surgeons have not.

	But I did review the link and I find it hard to believe that this is the only shape for the volume you want. Implants, whether round, anatomic, saline, or silicone come in a broad range of volumes. My advice is to ask your plastic surgeon how much experience he/she has with these implants and to look at some of the before/afters of patients with those specific implants.

	Hope that helps and good luck!
