Choosing the Right Breast Implants in Riyadh

Selecting the right breast implants in Riyadh for 2026 involves a combination of medical precision, artistic assessment of your frame, and the use of cutting-edge visualization tools. Because the "perfect" implant is different for every body, Riyadh's top clinics have developed a structured selection process.

1. Choosing the Right Brand (The Riyadh Standard)

Riyadh’s elite clinics primarily use FDA and CE-approved brands that offer lifetime warranties against rupture.

  • Motiva® (Ergomix2): The most popular choice for 2026. These implants are "ergonomic," meaning they shift shape as you move—becoming teardrop-shaped when standing and round when lying down—to mimic natural tissue.

  • Mentor® (MemoryGel): Known for its "Gummy Bear" consistency. It is a highly cohesive silicone that provides a stable, perky shape and has a long-standing safety record in the Kingdom.

  • Allergan (Natrelle): Often chosen for its wide variety of "profiles" (projections), allowing for extreme customization for very petite or very broad frames.

2. Selecting Size and Profile

In Riyadh, size is measured in CCs (cubic centimeters) rather than cup sizes, as the result depends on your existing tissue.

  • Subtle (150cc – 250cc): Best for a modest "refresh" or correcting minor asymmetry.

  • Proportional (300cc – 400cc): The most common range in Riyadh; typically results in a 1.5 to 2 cup size increase.

  • Full/Dramatic (450cc+): Requires a broad chest wall and good skin elasticity to avoid future sagging.

  • The Profile: * High Profile: Narrow base but sticks out further (ideal for a "push-up" look or narrow chests).

    • Moderate/Low Profile: Wider base but flatter (ideal for a natural, soft slope).

3. Anatomical vs. Round Shape

  • Round Implants: Provide fullness in the upper part of the breast. This is the preferred choice for those wanting a "cleavage" look.

  • Anatomical (Teardrop): Mimics the natural breast slope with more volume at the bottom. This is ideal for a "no-one-will-know" natural result.


4. Visualization: The "Golden Ratio" Consultation

Most top-tier Riyadh surgeons (like Dr. Omar Fouda or Dr. Alsalih) now use 3D VECTRA® Imaging.

  1. The Scan: A 360-degree scan of your chest is taken.

  2. The Simulation: The software overlays different implant sizes and shapes onto your actual body.

  3. The Comparison: You can see a side-by-side view of how you would look with 325cc vs. 375cc before ever entering the operating room.

5. Factors to Discuss with Your Surgeon

  • Submuscular vs. Subglandular: Placing the implant under the muscle (submuscular) is standard in Riyadh for its more natural upper slope and lower risk of "rippling."

  • Incision Site: The Inframammary fold (under the breast) is the most popular, but Transaxillary (armpit) is gaining popularity for those wanting zero scars on the breast.

  • Lifestyle: If you are highly active in the gym or play sports, your surgeon may recommend a slightly smaller, more cohesive implant to ensure comfort during movement.
