Possible to Have Soft and Bouncy Breasts from Implants?

Thank you for your question.  With the correct implant selection in both type (saline or silicone) and size (volume or cc) for your body, it is realistic to obtain soft and natural looking breasts following a breast augmentation procedure with implants.  I do agree that silicone gel implants tend to look and feel more natural than saline implants do, but every patient needs to be evaluated as an individual and seeking a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is key.  Initially implants can be a little 'high, hard and ugly' but with proper implant selection for your frame and once you are fully healed it is very possible to have soft and bouncy breasts.  Best of luck!

It is definitely possible to have soft and bouncy breasts from implants.  You need to find a surgeon that specializes in breast augmentation and express your goals.

Silicone implants feel more like natural breast tissue whereas saline implants tend to have more waviness and bounce more when jumping or running especially in those with small breasts.See a board certified plastic surgeon for best advice.

Thank you for your question.  It may take months for the breasts to soften, and they may never soften to the pre-surgical state. In addition, the greater the implant to breast tissue ratio, the more the implant will affect the longterm firmness (or softness) of the breast.  I would recommend that you use silicone gel implants as this will give you a softer feel.  Also, the larger the implant, the more the implant will drive the overall feel of the breast.  You should be able to examine and feel various implants when you visit with your plastic surgeon.

Breast augmentation patients not only want implants that
look good, but feel good as well. They want implants that feel natural and
behave like natural breast tissue.

Several factors are associated with implants that feel
natural. These include the use of silicone implants, the use of smaller
implants, and a high ratio of native breast tissue to implant volume. When
these variables are favorable breasts tend to feel more natural and behave like
normal breasts. In other words, they have bounce.

The majority of breast augmentation patients are happy
with how their breasts feel. Occasionally, patients develop hardening of their
breasts secondary to capsular contracture. When this occurs secondary
revisional surgery may be necessary.

If you’re considering breast augmentation, consultation
with a board-certified plastic surgeon is appropriate.
This surgeon should be able to formulate a plan for breast augmentation that
results in breasts that feel natural. 

In general silicone implants offer a more natural feel. They mimic natural breast tissue better than saline. Getting results that look and feel natural depends on several factors such as implant placement, size, and type. If implants are too large for your body the risk of rippling increases so you should consider this as well. 

Capsular contracture prevents breasts from looking and feeling soft and natural after breast augmentation.  The incidence of contracture varies depending on which study you read.  But the majority of women do not get capsular contracture.

I prefer silicone to saline in most patients particularly if they are very thin.  But saline implants are fine.

It sounds like silicone implants will be your best option. They feel far more natural than saline implants, in particular for very thin women. In terms of "bouncy" breasts, there will be some of this after everything heals, especially if you do not go too large--sit down and discuss this with your plastic surgeon, as he will need to examine you prior to giving a final recommendation.

Silicone feels more natural than saline. Just go for a consultation at a plastic surgery office and they will be able to let you feel both types of implants. You will notice right away that the Silicone feel more natural.

The softness of an augmented breast depends upon several factors. The size of the implant is one.
If too large of an implant is used in someone with minimal natural tissue, the result will feel firmer. Typically, silicone implants do feel more real than Saline implants.
The most important factor is whether or not you get a firm capsular contracture around your implant. This is a stiff scar that can form around the implant that will make the breast feel firmer than we would like. Depending on the study you read, this happens in 5% to 45% of implanted breasts.
