How Can I Avoid Getting Over-filled or Fake-looking Breast Implants?

Fake looking implants
This is a serious question... we're putting in implants to enhance the breasts, but at what point do they look fake? I'm in Texas, many like things big here. "The bigger the better, the tighter the sweater"
There's significant pressure to supersize implants. It's very easy to get caught up in it and I as a plastic surgeon have to fight off every consultation when I'm being asked to place larger implants that I think will look good. Focusing back on your question, the way to make implan

The best way to avoid getting a bad result starts with...
The best way to avoid getting a bad result starts with choosing the right doctor. Make sure to express what you want the final size and look to be and that the doctor and staff are listening to you. Also, look at their pictures and be sure their patients don't have looks you don't like because this is a reflection of what they think makes an attractive result.

Choose a Plastic Surgeon with an aesthetic eye
One of the most critical factors in determining whether or not you will get a natural result is your choice of a surgeon. A good surgeon has an aesthetic eye and will be able to determine what implant size, shape, and style will be most appropriate for your body.
To choose a good plastic surgeon, always do the following:
Ask them how many breast augmentations they perform in a month
Ask to see before & after photos of their patients
Ask to speak with 1 or 2 of...

Breast augmentation and avoiding overfilled or fake looking breasts.
Probably the single most important determinant in avoiding over-filled breasts is using a smaller implant with recommended fill volumes. Of course, one of the most common complaints following breast augmentation is desire for larger implants and so this is one of the most difficult aspects of planning the surgery.
AS the other surgeon's have mentioned, choosing an experienced board certified plastic surgeon is a critical step in initating this process.

Achieving a natural look after breast augmentation
I would like to rephrase your question to how can my breast implants look and act as natural as possible.
To achieve this goal, it is important to match the implant to your body and not the other way around. This means an implant which can easily fit within your chest width and height. These measurements should be taken at the time of consultation.
The other factor is the thickness and mobility of your breast tissue. If you have very thin skin and lack breast tissue, a smaller implant...

Natural-looking breasts
In order to avoid the fake look, you need to be sure to choose a board certified plastic surgeon to perform your surgery. It is very important that you and your surgeon have a full understanding of the look you would like to achieve. I suggest bringing in pictures of what you like and what you do not like that way your surgeon cangive you the natural look you like. I recommend placing the implant submuscularly to give you a natural look as well.
