Breast Implant Type to Achieve Artificial Look?

Tags: breasts, female, B cup, fake look, high profile, moderate profile, natural, subglandular, submuscular

I will be meeting with a plastic surgeon to discuss having a Breast Augmentation. I want to achieve a very artificial look so that people can tell right away that they are fake. I know this sounds unusual but if I wanted a natural look I would keep what God gave me. I don't mean that I want them to look asymmetrical, just extremely modified.

So right now I am a 36B with a medium build. What tends to look more artificial: sub-glandular or sub-muscular? High or Moderate profile?

Info on breast implants.

Answer by George J. Beraka, MDManhattan Plastic1) This is the most common type of question on RealSelf. 2) It is the surgeon's job to pick the right breast implants, not the patient's. Implant selection is really pretty technical. 3) Make sure your surgeon REALLY understands the look you want. Mentioning a cup size is not enough. Show your surgeon pictures of breasts you like. 4) Then your surgeon has to tell you if your chosen look is realistic for your anatomy. The most common mistake is... more

If fake-looking breasts is what you want

As a plastic surgeon, I have spent the last 30 years attempting to create attractive, natural breasts for my patients. I have learned that there are factors that create a fake unnatural appearance and I try to avoid these in my practice. If you are committed to fake, try the following: Choose very large implants that are wider than your breasts. Choose high profile implants; these will look very round and project away from your chest. Place the implants over the muscle ( subglandular );... more

The best bet for an unnatural breast augmentation

It is unusual that we hear of patients requesting an obvious augmentation result, something we wish to avoid for most. Some may wish to have a very round and projecting 'showy' breast augmentation. Certainly, a subglandular augmentation with a high profile implant, particularly an implant larger than 500cc, will get you to this goal. You may have later regrets, though the implants are more easily revised than a tattoo. Be sure to think things through. Best of luck.

Fake-looking breast implants

No can fault you for not being honest about your desires from the start! If you really want an obvious look, then go for high-profile saline implants placed above the muscle. There are many reasons why I would not recommend this for my patients, specifically, that this will stretch out your tissues over time, and may set you up for the need for future surgeries to address this. Additional surgery may require additional scars on the breast as well. So, it is truly your choice, but just make... more

The larger the implant, the more fake it looks

What you are asking for is not a good long term situation. The techniques that will give you the fake look will also require correction or revision sooner. It also may lead to changes that are uncorrectable and permanent. Here it is. A large saline implant that is overfilled in the subglandular space will give you the most obvious and fake implant look there is. The larger the implant, the more fake it will look. Good luck, Dr. Peterson

Breast Implant type for artificial look

Easy answer is to go above the chest muscle and saline moderate profile plus in a very large size (over 500 cc's). This will achieve the desired appearance you seek.

Breast implant size

It is very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C cup” or "fake looking" means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired... more

Artificial Look

Hi, Thank you for your question. If you want the fake look, go with high profile implants over the muscle. These will go beyond what is appropriate for your own dimensions giving you that fake look. Increasing the volume will also achieve this look. I think this is something that you should seriously consider before actually doing. There are several complications and issues such as rippling, thinning skin, and increased sagging that can arise when doing all of these things which is why most... more

Reconsider fake look using breast implants

RealSelfgirl04 You will find several other posts that suggest how to achieve the look you request, but my advice is to please re-consider having that done. As physicians and surgeons we may be able to provide the overly "fake" result you request, but it would likely be a disservice to you as a patient and as a person. Our goals are to enhance you natural appearance. The look you request entails increased risks of surgical breast problems. We wouldn't want to cause you problems.... more

Fake-looking breasts

The goal of a plastic surgeon is to create a natural look for surgeries that we perform. Fake looking breasts are usually very large implants that do not have a lot of soft tissue coverage such as those placed in a subglandular pocket in a very thin person.

Unnatural Breast Augmentation Results

People are always looking for natural surgical results -- if you want to look un-natual , just hang a sign around your neck stating that you have fake boobs. Get huge, high profile saline implants over the muscle, inserted through your arm pit. Those are sure to look fake.

Fake Breast Look

If the "fake look" is really the appearance that you are seeking, then you should opt for an implant placed above rather than below the muscle. You should also choose an implant that is quite large and an implant which is larger than the diameter of you breast. Just be sure that this is the look you want. You can have a significant change in the appearance of your breasts and still have a "normal " appearance.

Getting that out of This World Fake Boob Look

Wow! I must say I have now heard everything. While I once heard a woman who used to be in Kiss' Gene Simmons' entourage ask me "I want in-your-face-Hollywood-boobs" - I have never heard someone ask for " a very artificial look so that people can tell right away that they are fake...extremely modified" Well - that should be easy. All we have to do is do EVERYTHING we normally avoid in a good Breast Augmentation. 1. Forget about having a good tissue cover for the implants -... more

Subglandular large high profile implant for a more obvious "fake" look

IF you are seeking to achieve a look which we generally try to avoid, you would want to place a large high profile breast implant in a subglandular position. However, I am not advising this. of course, exceptions to this exist and I have placed such an implant under the appropriate conditions to achieve a natural look but this generally requires adequate mammary parenchyma in an individual with involutional atrophy and pseudoptosis.

Fake looking breasts

Hard to understand why you would want this and please realize that you may regret this decision in the future, but if you want big fake breasts go high profile above the muscle implants that max out the width you can handle. Good luck...
