What's The Best Way For Me To Get Natural Looking Breasts With An Augmentation?

I am 36 years old 5'3, 56kg. cup size full B. I am looking at getting 350cc subglandular silicone implants. Do you think this will give me a full D cup? also, will overs make them look "fake" or could i get natural looking breasts? I have a fair amount of tissue Thanks

Natural look after a breast augmentation

What looks fake depends on the person evaluating them and that is quite variable. I think that as long as there is no capsular contracture, you will have a fairly natural looking breast with what you are planning. In time they wil sag like unaugmented breasts too, but there is no way to predict a cup size because the makers of the bras make them all different shapes and it also depends on how wide your ribcage is and what the angles of the ribs are.

Breast implant sizing and naturalness

Nearly all the issues for breast augmentation are in this question. Like fitting your foot to a shoe or your body in a dress, the implant must fit properly in relation to your breast to look "natural". The surgeon's job is to determine the correct dimensions of the implant to fit your breast, get it positioned properly at surgery, fill it properly (if it's saline-filled), and then get it healed there. The rest is experience of what gets the best results both short term and... more

How to get natural looking breasts with augmentation

If you have thick enough tissue, AT LEAST 2 cm. of pinch thickness in the upper pole of your breast, then you might get by with a gel implant over the muscle, but ideally you should have more thickness than that to be sure of not seeing a more prominent upper edge of the implant. Going under the muscle will camouflage the implant better, but there will be some movement of the implant with pectoralis muscle contractions, though probably only seen with actively contracting the muscle... more

Best Augmentation For Naturally Appearing Breasts

I feel that the best chance for you and any woman to achieve naturally appearing breasts with an augmentation is to have smooth silicone implants placed under your muscle. The other factor which is extremely important if you want to avoid the "fake look" is to select an implant which is not larger in diameter than your breast. I cannot be certain, but I think 350cc implants will likely not give you a full D cup.

Breast implant sizing

Much of the final “look” 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 example, the accurate and gentle... more

Natural Look after Breast Augmentation. Implant size

Bra sizes are confusing. More often than not, a woman is not wearing a correctly fitted bra, doesn't know her bra size, or doesn't know how a bra is fitted. Cup size is dependent on the "number" part of the bra size... a D cup in a 34 bra is a different size from a 42 bra. That being said, bra manufacturers are not held to any uniform standards when it comes to cup size and shape... that is why one brand of bra might fit you very well for a given size, but not... more

Natural looking breasts following breast augmentation

I tell my patients that, once everything has settled following surgery, your breasts should look exactly like they did pre-operatively, only fuller. That is what an implant is supposed to do - add volume to your breasts. If you are happy with the shape of your breasts and just want them a little bit fuller then a breast augmentation is a good operation for you.

Best way to achieve natural looking breast augmentation

Breast augmentation should blend in with a woman's anatomy to look natural. Disproportionate implants often look obvious when the implant is somehow visible in the contours of a woman's breast. This occurs more often with implants that are too large, too round and are above the muscle. The measurement process of choosing an implant is vital in finding the size that blends best with a woman's body.

Natural Appearing Breast Augmentation

I think that there are 3 keys to a natural looking breast augmentation: * Type of implant * Size selection * Technique of surgeon Regarding type of breast implant, most plastic surgeons would agree that silicone gel implants feel and look more natural than saline. An exception to this is a woman with a substantial amount of her own breast tissue with a good shape. The size that you select should be proportional to your... more

Breast augmentation

Under the muscle looks more natural than over the muscle. A lower profile implant would look more natural than a higher profile implant. I don't think 350 will get you to a full D from a B.

You can't have a "natural augmentation" and want a "full D" at the same time

Your question perfectly exemplifies why I no longer discuss sizing with patients in terms of the "words" theey use. It is just too confusing to decipher what one means by words like "fullness," "perky," and "natural." What you need to decide is what "look" you want in terms of the upper pole area and this will determine which profile of implant you need to get there. Then based on all your body brings to he table a proper... more

Natural looking breast augmentation

Generally speaking a subpectoral (under the muscle) implant has a more natural look than a subglandular (in front of the muscle) placed implant. You may have enough breast tissue where this may not be an issue, however the larger the implant, the more likely the chance of having an unnatural appearing upper pole or slope to the breast. It will also be more difficult to interpret mammograms with the implant in a subglandular position. 350cc may give you a D cup depending on the volume of... more
