Bowling Ball Look? (photo)

Hi, I'm 5'4 123 lbs with 550cc Mentor mod plus silicone under the muscle, nearly 3 months post op. I love my size, but I feel I have a highly unnatural looking result. Is this common, is it the placement, size, or profile of the implant? Is there anything that can be done for them to look more real or do I have to downsize for a more natural looking result? Do they just need to drop more?

It's all about proportions

More than likely it has to do with the large size of implant on your petite frame. If you desire a more natural look, you may opt to exchange them for a smaller implant. Best to wait a full year after surgery before considering an exchange.

Bowling Ball look

You have large implants relative to your chest size and height and weight. You say the size is great, therefore the look cannot be changed. You need smaller implants if you want to look more natural.

Breast Implant Proprotions

The implants seem to be too large/wide for your frame. They may drop a bit more in the upcoming months but the overall appearance will not change significantly. Allow for a few more months of healing before considering further surgery to downsize and/or lift the breasts if needed.

Implants

With very large implants, they overtake your upper chest. They are too wide and too larger probably for your frame.

Revision breast augmentation should give you more natural shape.

Hi. 1) They will not drop on their own. 2) The profile is fine. 3) The implant pockets are too high and a little asymmetrical. 4) I would go slightly smaller.

Implants too large

There are a number of things that make these look unnatural. The implants seem too large for your general proportions, they extend beyond the chest wall toward the arms, and the nipples and areolas are too low If you really want to maintain this size, doing a breast lift will improve that aspect of the appearance. Overall I would prefer to see smaller implants and a lift to get a more appropriate look. Discuss these with your surgeon. Best wishes. more

You got what was done.

You have very large breasts, the upper pole fullness is due to the sub muscular placement. I don't think they will change much in time.

Bowling ball look after breast augmentation

When the breast is over augmented there is not enough breast tissue to hide the implant and the breast becomes round and ballooned out. If you really want natural then you should consider a moderate profile implant which is smaller and a better fit to you.

It is difficult to tell how much can be imputed to the angle of the photography. It may well be that the pockets weren't adequately dissected. However, these implants are extremely large for your frame and they are increasing the effect of gravity on your breasts. If you don't need a lift now, you will likely need one down the road.

Implant problems

The angle of your photos makes it difficult to determine if the implant pocket needs to be lowered or if you need a lift. However, the implants seem too wide for your chest and are giving you too much "side boob"...it seems that if you like the volume, you would get a better shape by lowering the pocket slightly and switching to higher profile implants that have a narrower base diameter. This will likely not give you a more natural look though as you would probably need to... more
