The fat grafting technique is less common because of its low success rate when a large amount of volume is needed and the skin is particularly tight. This means that the first choice for most patients is between silicone and saline implants. Fat grafting can be used in addition to implants, for example, to increase cleavage.

Silicone implants have become the most popular choice because of their durability, softer feel and appearance, especially for those without a lot of breast tissue.
