Feminizing body implant surgery encompasses a
variety of procedures aimed at enhancing a
person's body contours through the use of
implants. Common types of implants include:
- Breast Implants: To increase breast size and projection. Implants have a silicone shell and are filled with either saline or silicone gel. Implants come in various sizes, shapes (round or teardrop), and profiles (high, moderate, low projection). Implants can be placed above or below the muscle, depending on factors like desired fullness and body type. Dr. Javaheri can help you choose the implant material, size and shape, and implantation technique based on your desired outcome.
- Buttock Implants: To enhance the size and shape of the buttocks. Silicone implants are most commonly used, although fat grafting (Brazilian Butt Lift) is also popular.
- Calf Implants: To enhance the appearance of the calves by increasing their size. Silicone implants are designed to match the natural contour of the leg.
- Facial Implants: To enhance or alter facial features, such as the chin, cheeks, or jawline. Implants made from silicone and can be customized.
As with all surgeries, there are risks to be
aware of, namely infection, implant shifting,
contour irregularities and scarring. The best
way to avoid complications is to work with a
highly experienced surgeon like Dr. Javaheri.
Body Implant Customization
Body implant customization refers to the
process of tailoring implants to fit an
individual’s unique anatomical structure and
aesthetic preferences. This can enhance the
effectiveness and natural look of the implants
while minimizing risks. For example, with
buttock implants, the positioning and size of
the implants must be carefully planned to
align with the patient’s overall body
proportions. Similarly, facial implants for
the chin, cheeks and jawline can be customized
in terms of size, shape, and projection to
achieve a balanced and natural look.
In experienced hands, customized implants tend
to look and feel more natural as they are
designed to fit the unique contours of the
patient’s body. Implants that fit well are
also less likely to cause discomfort or
complications. Ultimately, customization in
body implant surgery allows for a more
personalized approach, leading to better
aesthetic and functional outcomes tailored to
individual needs.

To compliment or enhance your surgical results, you may also want to consider non-surgical aesthetic treatments.
