Breast Implant Options
Women considering breast augmentation with implants visit us from Baltimore, Columbia, and other Maryland communities. They typically have lots of questions about the wide range of options available to them. At the Sinno Center for Plastic Surgery, we want to streamline the decision-making process and empower you to make the best choice for yourself. You can help board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Fady Sinno give you the personalized results you want by learning about the available options, including sizes, shapes, and types of breast implants at our locations in Ellicott City and Westminster.
How do you choose breast implant size?
Breast implant sizing is one of the first decisions patients ask about when planning their breast augmentation procedure. While you may have a particular cup size in mind, this isn’t a particularly reliable way to plan for surgery. Breast implants are measured in volume (cc), not cup size. Cup sizes aren’t regulated and can vary quite a bit between lingerie brands. During your consultation, Dr. Sinno will discuss your desired size and appearance and will take accurate measurements to plan your surgery. When selecting your implant size, he will account for your:
- Current breast size (which may differ between breasts)
- Anatomy, including the width of your chest, shoulders, and hips
- Lifestyle
He routinely uses sterile sizers to confirm the optimal implant selection during surgery.
What is the best type of implant to get?
The two basic types of breast implants are saline and silicone gel; both have an elastic silicone outer covering, called a shell. While silicone implants are more popular, each offers breast augmentation patients its own distinct advantages.
- Saline breast implants, FDA approved for patients 18 and older, are filled with a sterile saltwater solution. These implants often require smaller incisions because the implant shells are inserted empty and filled once in place. They’re also generally more affordable than silicone implants. In the unlikely event of a rupture or tear, the saline filling is harmlessly absorbed by the body.
- Silicone gel implants, FDA approved for patients who are at least 22, come in a variety of viscosities. Some, like the highly cohesive gel
gummy bear
implants, are enduringly popular among our Baltimore-area patients thanks to their very natural look and feel. In general, silicone implants will hold their shape if they rupture, so damage may not be immediately noticeable.

What are the different implant shapes?
Both saline and silicone implants come in the following shapes:
- Round implants create circumferential fullness and voluminous cleavage.
- Shaped implants, also called anatomical or teardrop, are tapered, mimicking the slope of natural breasts with more fullness at the bottom.
Shaped implants can create a subtler look, but you can enjoy excellent results with either shaped or round implants.
Which breast implant profile is best for me?
Implant profile isn’t necessarily on the list of decisions you’ll need to make. Instead, the best profile for you is determined largely by your natural body type. Implants are available in high, medium, and low profiles, with various subtleties by manufacturer. Although “profile” refers to the projection of an implant, it also refers to how large it is at the base. Imagine a breast implant as a vaguely conical structure. The more projection it has, the narrower the base. Thus, women with naturally small, narrow frames are often well suited to high-profile implant types, while women with wider frames look best with low-profile implants.
What’s the difference between smooth and textured breast implants?
Implants are available with smooth or textured shells.
- Smooth implants move freely in the implant pocket. The shell is thinner than a textured implant, which can feel softer and more natural. Round implants are usually smooth because they don’t need to be oriented in a particular way, but they can also be textured.
- Textured implants have a rough outer shell that adheres to the tissue around it. Shaped implants are textured to prevent them from rotating after placement in the breast pocket.

A Reputation Built on Results

Dr. Sinno and staff are simply amazing. The entire office makes you feel like you are the only person they are focusing on. No one rushes you while making decisions, everyone gives great advice and really listens to understand what you are looking for. I'm generally a very anxious person, but even on my surgery day they made me feel like I was walking into a spa and not into a 4 hour surgery. I fell asleep with a smile and I'm pretty sure I woke up with a smile on my face. My post op visits have been just as perfect as the rest of the experience and my results are nothing short of perfect. I would recommend Dr. Sinno without hesitation to anybody and I would go back myself as well.

The Dr. Sinno and his staff are superbl!!! They are very professional, kind, caring and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and informed. Dr. Sinno himself is an AMAZING plastic surgeon. When I look at my before and after pictures I think Dr. Sinno is a magician! Once I met with Dr. Sinno for a consultation I knew I wasn't going anywhere else and I cancelled the other consultation I had scheduled. Dr. Sinno was so easy to talk to, he listened to what I had to say and explained everything to me in a way that I could understand. Dr. Sinno performed a breast reduction with lift and a tummy tuck with lipo - the results are beyond words, amazing! I was very surprised that the scaring is very minimal. Just goes to show how great of a plastic surgeon Dr. Sinno is. The team took excellent care of me from consultation through all of my follow up visits. I want to thank everyone (Dr. Sinno, Rima, Tayra and the ladies in the surgery center) for the wonderful care I received.

Dr. Sinno is one of the most caring plastic Surgeons I have had the pleasure of meeting. His staff is no different and will go the length to assist you in any possible way. A coworker recommended him to me when I needed breast reduction surgery. After meeting him for consultation I knew he is the right surgeon for me. And he did an excellent job! Thank you Dr. Sinno, and staff for being who you are, and making me happy. God bless you all. You are the Best

My experience with Dr. Sinno and his team have been great. I am completely satisfied with my results and my only regret is not seeing Dr. Sinno sooner. I haven’t been happy with my initial breast implants for many years and went to several consults. After my consult with Dr. Sinno, I knew I would be in great hands. He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand yet still comprehensive. He was patient with all my questions and was never condescending. He really listened to me and what I was looking to achieve. He explained everything clearly including possible risks. I really appreciate his honesty and attention to detail. I highly recommend Dr Sinno. I am thrilled with my results and so happy I chose him as my surgeon. Thank you to Dr Sinno and his team! It was totally worth it.

My experience with Dr. Sinno and his staff has been very positive. I highly recommend Dr. Sinno. He is an excellent, talented plastic surgeon. In 2009 he performed an upper eyelid surgery and I was very pleased with the results. So, when I decided to get a facelift in 2019, I again decided to go to Dr. Sinno. Dr. Sinno and his staff are very professional, kind, and caring. They made me feel comfortable and at ease. He did an amazing job. I look natural and years younger than I imagined. I am extremely happy with the results of both surgeries. Dr. Sinno and his staff went above and beyond my expectations in both service and results.

where to even start! i got a labiaplasty at dr. sinnos office on a whim right before I moved and they were able to fit me in before I moved with enough time for the post surgery check ups. Dr. Sinno is super knowledgeable in the labiaplasty procedure and I took a long time researching it. This had actually been a surgery I was wanting and avidly researching since I was 12 years old. Thank you to the entire staff and Dr. Sinno, they did everything to make me feel comfortable and happy the entire time. I definitely recommend him for labiaplasty especially if you’re looking for a wedge labiaplasty. if you want to see the healing process i posted it on his realself!

Dr. Sinno and entire staff make cosmetic procedures a most pleasant experience. I also received recommendations on a skin care/anti-aging regime, and I have been happy with that as well. Their after care/follow-up with their patients is also excellent. I would entrust Dr. Sinno in any of my future plastic surgeries. He delivers amazing results!

I had scheduled consultations with two surgeons, Dr. Sinno being my first. After meeting him and his staff, I cancelled the other consult. My experience exceeded my expectations. The staff is very welcoming, compassionate and clearly take pride in what they do. Dr. Sinno was very patient, answered all of my questions, addressed all of my concerns and truly put me at ease. The day of my procedure was picture perfect. Everything went well and according to plan. I am so pleased with my choice with Sinno Center for Plastic Surgery. Thank you Dr. Sinno and staff for caring so much!

Was in need of a breast augmentation after much volume loss after extended breastfeeding. Through a family member's recommendation, I scheduled a consult with Dr. Sinno. He was the second plastic surgeon I received a consultation with and he exceeded my expectations from the very first visit. His bedside manner was so down to earth, nice, respectable, and knowledgable. He took my concerns seriously and gave me above and beyond the results I wanted. His staff is so gracious and just as compassionate as he is. I felt at home and that I had a good surgical team taking care of me before, during, and after my procedure. My procedure was on a Friday and my post-op was scheduled for the Monday following. One of the nurses called me on Saturday on her personal cell phone just to check up on me and give me helpful advice. I have never experienced this type of excellent treatment from any medical team before. They are committed to their patients. For anyone afraid or skeptical of certain procedures, Dr. Sinno and his team will comfort you, work with you, and make you feel right at home. I would recommend him to anyone!

Full disclosure: I consulted with 3 plastic surgery practices in Howard County before choosing the Sinno Center. I wanted to make sure I made the best decision with as little bias as possible. I have nothing but nice things to say about the Sinno Center. From the moment I walked in I had a good feeling. Dr. Sinno is a brilliant, extremely talented surgeon. The staff is just as amazing; they know their stuff, and they've been there for years which was very important to me. Dr. Sinno did an excellent job. They are always very responsive, professional, and polite. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend the Sinno Center to anyone contemplating plastic surgery of any kind. Thank you SO much Dr. Sinno, Justine, Rima, Tayra and everyone else at the Sinno Center! One of the best decisions I've ever made in my life.

Dr. Sinno and his staff are the absolute BEST! Everyone there are polite and friendly. His office is very clean and professional. The entire team is clearly dedicated to providing outstanding service! I see Dr. Sinno for Dysport injections. He always takes the time to do a thorough consultation. He really listens to me so he understands what I’m hoping to accomplish during my visit. He makes his recommendations in a way I can really understand him too. He is very easy to talk to and before I know it, my visit is over. I love my results!!! 100% I recommend!!!
