How Can Breast Implants Look Natural?

I am a young mom of 2. Before kids, I was 34C. While I was pregnant with my daughter, I got up to a light 36DD. After having her, nursing her, through pregnancy and nursing my son I stayed right about a 36D and I was happy with that.

I am done nursing I am at a very light 36C, possibly even a heavy B. I am very unhappy. My husband wants me to get Breast Implants, but I think they look and feel very unnatural. Is there anyway to make implants feel natural?

Natutral looking breast augmentation

Hundreds of thousands of women have their breasts augmented each year in the United States, and those who have had great breast augmentations don't look artificial - they look beautiful and natural, with breasts that are full but in harmony with their figure. They look great, they wear what they want to and fill out their clothes nicely, and the surgery they have had is their little secret. When the goal of this operation is a natural-appearing breast enhancement, the results can be... more

Natural looking breast implants

You should only get implants if YOU want them - it's your body. It is possible to look natural by using the right implant dimension for your body and the moderate profile style that doesn't look buldgy. At your size, you might need a lift. Check with some plastic surgeons in your area whose photos look natural to you and ask them for advice.

Natural looking breast implants.

For a natural look, sub muscular placement (under the muscle) silicone implants are the best. The more breast tissue you have, the more natural the result you will have. see video

Natural Breast Augmentation

Natural appearing breast augmentation has many key factors including implant type, size, pocket placement and incision type. The other key factor is the patients pre-existing breast shape and volume. After having children your breast skin and tissues have been stretched and then shrunk, which commonly disturbs the internal and external support of the breast. Also, the breast tissue appears smaller, so in order to make your breasts appear as natural as possible I would recommend a... more

Natural feeling breast implants

In order to achieve the most natural feel with breast implants, I would recommend considering the cohesive silicone gel implants. Although both the saline and silicone implants can give you a beautiful look, the silicone implants tend to have a more natural feel than the saline since the feel of the silicone material feels very similar to the natural consistency of breast tissue. In general, the more breast tissue that you have naturally covering the implants, whether they be saline or... more

Great Looking, Attractive Breast Implants

The key to attractive natural breast implant augmentation is to match your body with the best implants that would fit and enhance it. Although anybody can strong arm and stick an implant in a woman's breast - we have all seen the results of such "augmentations". It is BEST to pick an implant that would be totally covered by your breast tissue (which would better hide the ripples ALL implants have), that based on your chest wall would fir on the flat, front plateau of your chest... more

Natural breast augmentation

Natural breast augmentation can be achieved by carefully measuring your breasts to make sure the implant which is chosen will perfectly fit your body. For increases of one cup size, a low profile implant is generallly adequate and natural looking. Increasing the amount of tissue over the implant will hide the implant and prevent visible rippling of the breast. This can be accomplished by putting the implant under the chest muscle (pectoralis major muscle) so that the muscle helps cover... more

Achieving a natural look with breast implants

Hi Des10ed2b - Achieving a natural look with implants can be done by getting implants that aren't too large for your frame. Going up one cup size should be fine, and if you have a moderate amount of breast tissue the implants can be placed over the muscle in the chest. However, if your skin is thin I would recommend placing the implants underneath the muscle to "hide" the outline of the implants. After nursing, you may also need a "lift" to the breast so that the... more

Natural Breast Implants

Although no breast implant can be entirely “natural,” we can come very close with careful technique and selection of an implant that matches your body. Many of my patients fool their Gynecologists and family doctors. In spite of doing everything possible to achieve this result, I still have some that are not as natural as we would like. The question is, what do you want, and, do you want to correct the small size enough to risk a less than “natural” result? The... more

For the most natural looking and feeling breast, silicone gel under the breast is best.

While it is necessary to have adequate breast tissue to put the implant under the breast and in front of the muscle, putting I find the best and most natural looking and feeling breast augmentation results are with textured gel implants under the breast tissue through the peri areolar incision. Certainly saline implants under the muscle give great results, you asked what gives the most natural looking and feeling result and that is the gel. Check with your plastic surgeon to see if you... more

Natural breast implants

First of all YOU need to be the one who wants the implants, not just your husband. Assuming that is the case,breast implants can look and feel very natural but it depends on several factors. Generally speaking , the more the patient brings of themselves to the final result the more natural the result will look and feel. The more the implant brings to the final result, the less natural the look and feel. Silicone gel implants look and feel more natural than saline implants. Implants under... more

Natural Breast Implants

The key to a natural appearing breast implant is finding the correct implant for your body size and your tissue coverage. Many patients are fixated on a particular size and trying to make that size fit their body. This is the opposite way of thinking and leads to unnatural appearance. Hopefully this makes sense. Good luck with your surgery.

Natural augmentations

Please look are previous answers regarding natural augmentation. Implants are by nature unnatural. Some "natural-looking" results are not natural at all. They just don't look very unnatural. Soe you have to define what you mean by natural or unnatural, or acceptable or unnacceptable. The implants themselves do not determine naturalness. it is how they are used. In general, the lower proportion of final breast size that is impants, the more "natural" they will be. If you... more
