Common Questions about Luna XT Answered by Doctors
Recommended doctors for Luna XT in Taipei, Kaohsiung, and Tainan.

In my clinic, many women come in every day with anxiety and anticipation to inquire about breast augmentation surgery. The first question they often ask is not "How big can I go?" but rather, "Doctor, will it look fake after the procedure?" and "Will it look like two bowls when I lie down?"

This is indeed the biggest challenge faced by Asian women during breast augmentation. Compared to Western women, Asian women generally have thinner subcutaneous fat, less glandular tissue, and narrower thoracic skeletons. Under these inherent conditions, if one simply pursues size and implants overly large round implants, it is easy to have a noticeable edge of the implant due to insufficient covering tissue, leading to what is commonly known as "bowl-shaped breasts."

As a plastic surgeon, my responsibility is not only to help you realize your dreams but also to ensure "aesthetics" and "safety". This is also why I highly value the new generation Luna XT™ from GC Aesthetics® (GCA) that comes from the UK.

This is not just a new silicone implant; it is a "medical X aesthetic" solution that combines 40 years of craftsmanship with the latest EU MDR safety certification. Today, I will analyze from a physician's professional perspective why Luna XT can become the new leader in the breast augmentation field.

Decrypting why doctors care more about the "EU MDR certification" than you do?

Before discussing touch and shape, we must first talk about the most serious topic: safety.

Many beauty seekers may have heard of the US FDA, but are less familiar with "EU MDR." In fact, the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) is currently recognized as one of the strictest and most difficult medical device certification standards in the world, with a much higher threshold than the previous MDD directive.

Luna XT™ is the industry's first breast implant to recently obtain EU MDR certification. This represents three significant meanings for us physicians:

Absolute transparency of clinical data: MDR requires manufacturers to provide more detailed and long-term clinical data than ever before. This means that the safety of Luna XT is not determined by the manufacturer but is subject to rigorous scientific verification.
Beyond Standard Durability: According to the manufacturer's data, the shell strength and damage resistance test results of Luna XT not only meet but even exceed the ISO 14607 standard. Its bottom RRE™ patch and GCA® 360° barrier layer act like a bulletproof vest for the breast implant, minimizing the risk of leakage and rupture.
Responsible for the entire life cycle: Obtaining MDR certification means that after the product is on the market, the manufacturer must continue to conduct strict post-market surveillance (PMS).

Choosing an implant is a lifelong decision. When I implant the Luna XT for patients, I have enough confidence to tell her: "What is inside your body is one of the safest materials in the world today."

Stablex™ cohesive silicone solves the "water ripple" black technology.

Many patients considering teardrop breast augmentation are most concerned about the side effects of "too firm to the touch" or "the appearance of rippling."

Traditional teardrop-shaped breast implants sometimes have to use harder silicone to maintain their shape, resulting in a less natural feel after surgery. If the gel is too soft and lacks support, it can easily create wave-like ripples (water ripples) on patients with thinner skin.

Luna XT™ uses Stablex™ cohesive silicone, successfully finding the golden balance between "softness" and "support":

100% Full Filling (Form Stability): This point is crucial. Luna XT has a fully filled design with no excess gaps. This ensures that the implant does not collapse in the body, effectively supporting the skin and significantly reducing the chances of rippling and edge visibility.
High Cohesivity: This special colloidal formula gives it a good "memory". When you stand, the colloid slightly sinks under gravity, forming a full droplet shape; when you lie flat, it can maintain a moderate diffusion.

In simple terms, Stablex™ allows the breasts to have a "standing upright and lying down naturally" realistic dynamic, which is precisely the realm pursued by advanced breast augmentation surgery.

Exclusive "7-point positioning" and "micro-texture" end the nightmare of displacement for teardrop-shaped breast implants.

In the field of plastic surgery, teardrop-shaped breast implant surgery has always been regarded as a "highly difficult technique." The reason is that teardrop shapes are directional (thinner on top and thicker on the bottom), and if rotation occurs after surgery, the breast shape will deform and become skewed.

This is also why some doctors tend to recommend round implants (because they are not noticeable when rotated). However, in pursuit of ultimate naturalness, we cannot compromise. Luna XT™ addresses this pain point with a dual-locking solution:

Cristalline Soft-AD™ micro-textured surface

Unlike the smooth surface that can slide, the surface of Luna XT is covered with delicate micro-textures. These textures act like countless tiny "Velcro" that gently promote tissue adhesion.

Doctor's perspective: This not only significantly reduces the risk of implant rotation, but according to the manufacturer's research, the original intention of the micro-textured design is to reduce the rate of capsular contracture. It creates an environment where the body's tissues are willing to "coexist peacefully."

2. Industry's First: 7-Point Positioning System

This is the most impressive design of the Luna XT. There are a total of 7 conical protrusions on the front and back of the implant.

Navigation during surgery: In endoscopic surgery, the field of view is sometimes limited. These 7 positioning points are like braille for the blind, providing clear tactile feedback. Whether I implant from the axilla, the inframammary fold, or the areola incision, I can accurately determine if the implant is positioned correctly by touching these points.
Post-operative guarantee: This design ensures the precision of the surgery, minimizing human error.

Luna XT is a size matrix tailored for Asian body shapes.

Everyone's chest width (BW) and the distance from the nipple to the collarbone are different, and breast augmentation is definitely not just limited to S, M, and L options.

Luna XT™ offers extremely detailed size options, which are particularly friendly to Asian women:

Height selection: Many Asian women have petite figures, and if the breast implant height is too high, it will press against the collarbone and look very unnatural. Luna XT offers different heights such as Low, Moderate, and High, allowing us to adjust according to the patient's height ratio.
Projection selection: Do you want a naturally subtle projection or a high profile in the European and American style? Through different projection coefficients, we can stack your ideal side profile curve precisely like an architect.

Especially for patients with "asymmetrical breasts (size difference)" or "pectus carinatum (protruding sternum)", this highly customized matrix allows us to select different models for the left and right breasts, achieving a visually perfect balance.

Who is most suitable for Luna XT? The four ideal candidate profiles in the eyes of doctors.

Not everyone has to choose the teardrop shape. If you are naturally well-endowed and want an extreme bust, the round shape might be a good option. However, if you belong to one of the following four types, Luna XT is definitely your top choice:

Postpartum mothers (upper chest atrophy/empty cup): After breastfeeding, the breasts often appear as "baggy breasts," with significant loss of upper chest tissue. Luna XT can enhance the fullness of the lower chest and restore the natural slope of the upper chest, regaining the youthful firmness.
Thin body shape (flat chest/thin skin): Women with a lower BMI and thin subcutaneous fat are most afraid of the edge feeling of round implants. The teardrop gradient design of Luna XT can perfectly transition between the implant and the chest wall, making it undetectable.
Pursuers of a "natural droop": If your aesthetic is "as if nothing has been done", and you do not want to have a ball-like appearance when wearing low-cut clothing, then the teardrop shape is the only solution.
Breast reconstruction / secondary augmentation: For cases where the tissue has been damaged or the structure has changed, the stability and support of Luna XT can provide better reconstruction results.

Choosing the material is important, but choosing the team is even more important.

Finally, I would like to earnestly remind all beauty seekers: "Top-quality ingredients also require top-quality chefs."

Although the Luna XT™ model has powerful specifications and a foolproof design (7-point positioning), it is ultimately a medical device with a very high technical threshold. The surgery for teardrop-shaped breast augmentation requires the physician to possess:

Precise preoperative measurements: A difference of 1 centimeter can affect the visual effect.
Advanced endoscopic technology: It is necessary to create a "just right" space. If the space is too small, the implant cannot expand; if the space is too large, it is prone to displacement.
Rich aesthetic literacy: knowing how to choose the model according to your body proportions.

At Enherya Plastic Surgery, we insist that specialized physicians perform the surgery personally, using advanced endoscopic techniques throughout the process, and are equipped with specialized anesthesiologists for monitoring. We care not only about the enlargement of your breasts but also about the safety of the surgical process and your satisfaction for ten years after the procedure.

Beauty is the sum of medicine and art. If you are looking for a breast augmentation material that allows you to confidently enhance your beauty and regain your self-esteem, the Luna XT™ droplet, certified by the EU MDR, combined with the expertise of the Enherya professional team, will be a choice you will not regret.

Common Questions about Luna XT Answered by Doctors

Is massage required after the Luna XT breast augmentation procedure?

The Luna XT is made of micro-textured material, designed for tissue adherence. In principle, it does not require vigorous massage like traditional smooth surfaces to avoid disrupting the adherence and causing displacement. However, moderate stretching and care can still aid in recovery, so please be sure to follow our postoperative educational instructions.

How long does it take for the Luna XT water drop to soften?

Any breast augmentation surgery will initially have a feeling of swelling, which is normal. Typically, within 1-3 months post-surgery, as the tissue reduces swelling and the implant adapts, the feel will become increasingly soft and natural. The characteristic of Stablex™ gel is that it is elastic rather than rigid, resulting in a very high level of realism after recovery.

What is the approximate price of the Luna XT water drop implant?

Due to its EU MDR certification and exclusive patented technology, as well as being imported from the UK, the Luna XT is considered a high-end breast implant, and its cost will be slightly higher than traditional materials. However, considering safety and long-term effects, this is a very worthwhile investment. We recommend that you visit our clinic for a consultation, where we will provide an accurate quote based on the complexity of your surgery.
