- The round prostheses are curved in a homogeneous way without distinction between top, bottom, right and left.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Some patients come in consultation with a desire for a natural result, with a gentle slope in the upper part of the breast. They therefore believe that this type of result can only be achieved with anatomical prostheses. However, it is very common to obtain a very natural result with round prostheses, far from the caricatures and excess projection that can sometimes be seen. It all depends on the initial breast, and if it is sufficiently developed, the prosthesis will be well concealed and even round, it will give a very natural result.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

For our part, we continue to offer anatomical prostheses in 2 cases:<\/p>\n
\n- In patients who present a very slight breast ptosis (empty breasts after breastfeeding for example) and who do not want additional scars (because the anatomical prostheses correct more easily a falling aspect of the breast than the round prostheses).<\/li>\n
- And in very thin patients with very underdeveloped breasts, who want a result that is as natural as possible. In this case, anatomical prostheses will be more suitable than round prostheses, which will most of the time give a slightly more artificial shape, whatever the surgical technique used.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
