Breast Implants

Many patients who have had the armpit/axillary incision (so no incision is visible on the breast) report their GYN doctor could not tell the difference during their annual breast exams. This includes patients who have had silicone as well as saline implants. So, yes, this is possible. The "gummy bear" implants (which have not been cleared by the FDA in the US) are reported by some to be quite firm. Implants are often combined with fat transfer in... more

Natural feeling breast implants...

Breast Augmentation is an excellent procedure to have if you are concerned with your breast size. Breast enlargement can add curves and definition to the body's profile, while enhancing a persons breast size, and making one feel more confident about one's appearance. No implant can ever give you the feeling of a totally natural breast. However, if you are looking for an implant to give you the most natural feel, then silicone implants would be an excellent option... more

Breast implants

Breast implants can certainly feel natural in several situations. First, silicone usually feels more natural than saline. More soft tissue coverage( breast tissue, under the muscle) enhance the coverage, and implants that are not too large in comparison to the amount of tissue volume.

Naturally Feeling Breast Implants

No surgeon can honestly guarantee naturally feeling breast implants. However, your best chance for breast implants which both appear and feel natural are silicone implants placed below the chest muscle by an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon.

Can Breast Implants Ever Feel Completely Natural?Answr:

They may not feel like natural breasts... but they can really can feel pretty close!!! They can be soft and very natural looking, depending on size of the implant and the build of the woman. As far as the fat transfer, I don't think it will add much to the natural feel...

There is a lot of discussion about this topic but after 20 years as a plastic surgeon and 40 years as a heterosexual male, i would say the answer is no

Natural Feel Of Breast Implants ??

The concept of a naturally feeling breast augmentation result varies depending upon the evaluator. Many breast augmentation results do feel quite natural, particularly using silicone gel implants that are in a submuscular position. Saline implants above the muscle in many patients certainly do not feel natural wih their associated rippling and a higher risk of some degree of capsular contracture. Not having natural feeling breast implants is an uncommon complaint in my experience and... more

In the best results, breast implants feel completely natural.

Hi. 1) What a fascinating range of opinions. We have seen patients go to a new gynecologist, have their breasts examined, and be told: " Normal breasts" (the doctor could not tell there were implants in the breasts). But those are the best results. There are no guarantees in surgery, and you need to try to find a good surgeon. 2) You will get the most natural results with round, smooth walled, moderate PLUS profile or high profile silicone gel... more

Breast implant willnever feel natural since they are not natural

The look of natural breast can be replicated with implant,but the feel of natural breast can not be replicated by the implant since implants are man made. The results of the breast augmentation can mimic natural breast but not 100%. The combination of the fat grafting and implant is a great option for patients with minimal soft tissue coverage ,but you can still feel the implant. The only way to get the feel of the natural breast is by fat grafting alone(breast are up to 70% fat),but the... more

A natural feel to breasts with implants

Most breasts with implants feel more natural if they have a significant amount of breast tissue or fat around the implant. If the woman is thin, with thin tissues and not much breast volume, the implant will constitute the majority of the volume of the breast and it is very unlikely that it will feel "normal". The most natural feel to breasts with implants is obtained with a correct match between the volume of the implant and the existing volume of the breast tissue and... more

Breast Implants Feel Natural?

Since normal breasts may feel different between different women, it is hard to expect that implants will feel natural for each woman. Using smaller, silicone implants under the muscle makes it more likely that the breast will feel more natural.

Can Breast implants ever feel natural?

YES they can if: 1. If they are not too big and are in balance to the chest . 2. If they are placed in an appropriatly sized pocket inthe right spot beneath the breast. 3. If the right prosthests( saline or silicone) Is chosen depending on existing breast tissue 4. If Your body responds with a soft capsule.

Natural "feeling" breast implants

Breast implants can feel and look natural. But the final look and feel will depend on many things including how much breast tissue you have and what size implant you choose. Obviously, the more breast tissue you have before surgery, the less likely you will be able to feel an implant (because there is more tissue to camouflage the implant). Conversely, if you choose a very large implant, it will be more visible (and look more "fake"). To answer your other... more

Natural Feeling Breast Implants

When an appropriate size implant is placed, you should be able to achieve a natural look and feel. More often than not, patients choose much larger implants that would be natural. This is not bad, but can lead to an implant look. Also, I feel that silicone implants placed under the muscle or in a dual plane positing give the best results as the implant is covered by both your muscle and your breast tissue. Good Luck.

Natural breast is all in the implant

It is possible to have a very natural feel after breast augmenation, though it will depend on the shape and firmness of the breast. In the ideal world the implant should fit into the breast hand in glove and flow and feel at one with the breast. In the 'old days' with thin walled very fluid implants in a subglandular position it could often be difficult to detect the implant. With the low bleed cohesive implant common today, the implant is safer though stiffer, and high profile is... more

Breast Implants and Natural Feel?

Thank you for the question. Much of the final “look” and feel achieved after breast augmentation surgery depends on several factors: 1. The initial shape, size (volume of breast tissue), symmetry of the patient's breasts. In general, the better the preoperative breast appearance the more likely the breast augmentation “look” will be optimal.  2. The experience/skill level of the surgeon is important in determining the final outcome. For... more
