I'm Wondering How I Can Get Breasts Like This, or at Least if It's a Realistic Expectation? (photo)

Any guesses as to how she achieved this look? Do you think those implants were put in under or over the muscle? The top of them seems to blend in so nicely, it doesn't have that round shell shape that i've seen in a lot of over the muscle implants. I also like how perky and round they are, but they're not completely fake looking (or I guess I mean the look appeals to me) For the "my size" picture I attached, is the "Goal" picture achievable? Sorry for so many questions, thanks for your help!!

How to achieve goal photo breasts.

You have pretty breasts and good anatomy for breast augmentation. Your goal photo shows a slim, attractive woman with very large breasts that are actually disproportionately large for the rest of her body--this is generally considered "not normal" and "fake-looking," but NOT "perky." It's impossible to tell from this photograph if these breasts are this high and round naturally, since she has them well-suspended against gravity by a swimsuit top.... more

Breast Augmentation- Be careful what you ask for and realize that it will have long term implications

Hi there- Without examining you, it's hard to say how close to the photo you posted it might be possible to get you... On the other hand, there are much bigger issues (pun intended) here: The larger the implant, the greater the stretching force on the breast tissue and skin The larger the implant, the heavier the implant, and therefore the greater the effect of gravity on the breasts over time When you're not in a bikini or tightly form fitting garment,... more

Can my breasts look this good (photo)?

Yes, you can look very close to the girl in the photo with black top, but the photo gives limited information about her actual result. Her breasts are in the sun, upper pole implant tissue interface obscured by shadow. Implants pushed together by bikini top, may fall out laterally without top, and, examined closely likely ripple or wrinkle positionally based on large full profile implant size/shape and her lean body. Skin is stretched by her implants. Your body and breasts... more

Realistic expectations for breast implants

Thank you for your question. Am I correct am assuming that neither of these pictures are pictures of your breasts? Without medical photographs of your breasts, it is impossible to guess what your breasts would look like after breast augmentation. I suggest you see two or more plastic surgeon's in your area if you are interested in breast implant surgery. Best wishes.

Can Breast Implants Look Like Model's Photo

We never base a desired look on a clothed (or unclothed) professional model's photos, only on medical photos. I have taken care of quite a number of models from Playboy, etc and I can tell you without a doubt the real body and the professional photos never match. The pictures have all been significantly altered by digital image manipulation. That said, you can probably get something of that nature but it could take two or more procedures. Be careful what you ask for as most of... more

Augmentation goals out of reach

The picture is very helpful in planning your augmentation and you will require a very full implant with good cover. The picture though is something your breast will not do. The skin envelope in the photo is very full and supple and unlike your breast. You will have to start with a smaller implant that will fit within the breast without bottoming out or a double bubble. Also, your breast is round and perky, the model is not and what you see without the top on will not be as pretty... more

Realistic expectation for breast augmentation

Hi. Your "goal" photo shows a woman with VERY large implants. Although you state that she has a "natural" look, in fact, she does NOT look natural. The implants are too big for her body frame. She also has an unnatural pose; and the implants are held up by swim suit. As we get bigger implants, it introdues risks for more problems in the future. Currently, you have nice shape; so after breast augmentation, you will look great. ... more

Breast augmentation expectations

You have a very nice shape to your breasts, so your postoperative results should be good. The model photo demonstrates very large implants (too large for her frame, in my opinion) in a bathing suit with her arms in an unnatural position. I would caution you to be careful in making any judgments about her actual breast appearance. If you are trying to emulate that particular photo, you might be very disappointed! Large implants are a possibility, although... more

LARGE volume Breast Augmentation

The model has a "desireable" look for several reasons.She is young and she is a model. She is posed to show her breast at the best angle. She has her breasts suspended in a bathing suit. unfortunately for her, she has implants that are much too big for her body and will almost certainly have olong-term problems with stretched out, sagging breasts. You have a very nice shape towork with and if you choose breast implants that will fit your body you can get an exceptional result with... more

Anything is possible BUT probable I doubt. Best to be examined in person by a boarded PS in your area.

You can achive that results with above the muscle and large implants, but not a wise decision.

You have excellent shape and size and my recommendation would be no surgery. The posted picture represent breast augmentation that will have many complications due to the thinning of the tissue and sagging.

Breast Augmentation

From the goal picture you presented, she has very large implants that look more fake than natural. I suspect that the shadowing in the picture is hiding the upper part of the implants and that is why you believe that they don't look round. I suspect that her implants would be more obviously fake if you saw actual postoperative photographs of her. Your picture is slightly rotated so it is hard to give you definitive answers to what you would look like, but I see nothing... more

Big Implants come with bigger problems

The desired look is achieved with large implants. Large implants like these will cause a higher rate of capsule contracture, more risks of sagging and loss of nipple sensitivity. Further, her look is shown with her pushing the implants together by posing. I wonder if you would like them as muchwhen her hands are at her sides.

Breast augmentation

The photo that you posted of the individual you want to match has extremely large implants that look very un natural. While it is possible to achieve that volume ( which I do not recommend), there is no guarantee that they would look exactly the same.

Breast Augmentation Goals Realistic?

Thank you for the question pictures. Based on where you are starting, I think you can end up with very nice results after breast augmentation surgery. Although I use “goal” pictures in my practice routinely, I caution patients that they will never match another person's breast type exactly. It is very important to have realistic expectations. Although I think it is possible for you to achieve very “perky and round”... more

Breast "Goals" for Breast Augmenation

Without seeing your actual photos it is hard to tell, but the "goal" image is quite large in volume - the fact that you dont see the upper aspect of the implant is likely that the patient had ample breast tissue prior to her surgery. Despite the fact that this model can carry this off in a bikini, it is likely that her breast do not have the same shape and position out of a bra. The larger implants tend to have a detrimental effect of the tissues and skin, leading to a heavier and... more
