Saline or Silicone. However, he prefers smooth, cohesive silicone gel implants, as they provide a softer, more natural feel compared to traditional saline implants.

Breast implants can be placed in a few different positions, depending on your anatomy and desired outcome:

Submuscular Placement: The implant is placed beneath both the breast tissue and the pectoral muscle, often resulting in a more natural appearance.

Dual Plane Placement: This involves placing the upper portion of the implant under the pectoral muscle, while allowing the lower half of the implant to sit directly under the breast tissue, over the pec muscle. This technique blends the benefits of both subglandular and submuscular placement for a balanced, natural-looking result.

Subglandular Placement: The implant is positioned beneath the breast tissue but above the chest muscles.

Dr. Mosca typically places the incision along the inframammary fold (IMF) — the natural crease where the underside of the breast meets the upper abdomen. This location allows for discreet healing and optimal access during surgery.

Breast implant profiles are selected based on each patient’s aesthetic goals. The profile refers to how far the implant projects from the chest wall. Implants with the same volume (measured in CCs) can have different shapes and projection levels depending on their profile, which helps customize the final look to match your desired outcome.

Breast implant profiles vary in base width and projection, allowing for a more tailored result based on body type and cosmetic goals:

Low Profile: These implant have a wide base but do not project much. This are ideal for women with a broader chest wall.

Moderate Profile: With a slightly narrower base and project more than low profile implants do. These implants are commonly used for women with average-width chest walls.

High Profile: Designed with a smaller base and greater projection from the chest wall. High Profile implants are often ideal for petite women or those with narrower chests.

Ultra High Profile: These offer the most projection from the chest and have the narrowest base, providing a more dramatic, full look.
