ABSTRACT
Introduction: Throughout implants evolution, breast implants manufacturers have launched different formats of implants, which has led to a divergence of opinion among plastic surgeons about their indications.
Objective: To compare the aesthetic result between the inclusion of "Silimed natural®" (round base and anatomical front) or round implants in breast augmentation mammoplasty.
Methods: Double blind retrospective study, which evaluated 14 patients undergoing breast augmentation between 2011 and 2016. Patients selected were between 20 and 40 years of age, BMI 18 to 23 and breasts classified as moderate or severe hypomastia.
Results: Agreement rate among plastic surgeons on Silimed natural® implants evaluation was 76.2% (77 of 101) and for round implants it was 64.8% (116 of 179) (p<0.047).
Conclusion: The use of anatomical implants (Silimed natural®) can give a more natural shape when indicated to patients with moderate to severe hypomastia and if used in the subglandular plane.
