Will my implants look natural even if I have no breast tissue?

Thank you for your
question.
This is a good question and it comes to deciding
between the basic look you want to achieve after the augmentation. I tell my
patients there are four basic types of looks for the augmented breast:
(1) the completely natural look- no one would
suspect you had augmentation.
(2) the "she's really lucky or had a really
good augmentation" loo
(3) the "tastefully augmented" look- 
(4) the cartoon breast- implants are too big for
your body"Natural" is little vague and subjective. I would suggest going to a site like loveyourlook and browsing the before and after gallery. You want your PS to align his aesthetic sense to yours so he/she can know what you mean by natural. 

It's a good question. An in person consultation will help you receive the most helpful answers, but in general patients with less breast tissue do well with properly selected implants. During your visit your surgeon will listen to your goals and help you select an implant to help you obtain those goals. The main thing to be mindful of is that any sized implant will show more on your chest, then someone who has more breast tissue. If your goal is to maintain a natural look, then you will likely end up selecting a slightly smaller implant than you would if you had larger amounts of breast tissue. Regardless, you should have a very nice result.

Difficult to comment without seeing your situation and learning more about your desired result.  Several generalizations apply:  First, current implants offer more flexibility and possibilities than ever before.  Second, after implants are positioned, your own breast tissue, skin, muscle and connective tissue adapt, expand, and adjust to accommodate presence of the device.  This process elapses over a duration of many months following your procedure during which time your result appears and feels increasingly natural.  Third, the greater change you expect implants to accomplish, the less natural will be your result.  Going up one or two bra cup sizes produces a more realistic outcome than increasing three or four cup sizes.  The greater percentage of your final breast volume that is implant vs. your own breast tissue, the more your breast will look, feel, and behave like an implant.  Still, large implants can produce beautiful sexy breasts for many women.  Every situation must be considered on the basis of individual characteristics.  Seek additional consultations for more information that applies to you.

Lackof tissue is why people get breast augmentation.  If the surgeon believes you will have a borderline result, then maybe you need to find a surgeon that can give you an excellent result.

Dear BoobifulIn general, how natural your results look depends on a few factors.The size and shape of implant: your rib cage and your own breast have specific dimensions. your implant should compliment these dimensions and not go beyond them. For example an implant that is too wide for your chest will show on the sides and look like a breast implant.The amount of change in size is also a factor. Going from an A to a D cup is more likely to look like an implant than a B to a C.In your case, in my opinion,you are tall, at 5'11" and can still be proportionate with large implants. At the same time 500 cc implants are likely to be a little on the broad size for your frame. When you are at your consult, communication is very important. Words like large, natural and proportionate all have different meanings to you and your surgeon. I always recommend more than one consultation so you can make a well informed decision. You should seek consultation with an experienced surgeon who is at least certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

Thank you for your question.  This is not an uncommon request--to look fuller but still maintain a natural look.  This is not an outlandish request.  Obviously, if you are an "A" cup and want to be a "D" cup, this will look less "natural".  However, there are ways to keep you looking more balanced--use of smaller implants, anatomic implants, sub muscular position--all help keep a more balanced and natural look with breast implants.  Best advice is to meet with a few plastic surgeons in your area to fully understand what your options are.

Hi.  Most patients seem to use the word "natural" when they actually mean "not fake looking".  You can certainly get a nice result, even if you are slender.  The key is to pick an implant that is proportional to your frame, avoid the excessively round implant shapes, and put the implant under the muscle.Don't get "boobie greed".  The larger and rounder you go, the more fake it will look.

Adequate coverage is always critical. Look into anatomically shaped implants combined with fat grafting. Even a relatively small amount of fat can help disguises to blend the cleavage area.  Avoid a round device unless you prefer the appearance of an implant. Seek a board certified plastic surgeon.

Since you have little of your own tissue, your final result will look like the implant.  Proper choice of implant with correct positioning is critical.  You should see examples of your surgeon's work that closely matches you pre-op anatomy with your  post-op expectations.   

There are many things to consider in your question. First if you have very little breast tissue, then the implant will be your breast. A gel implant may be your best choice. Next, how large do you want to be? A larger implant raises the difficulty and chances of a natural looking result. Also, are you tall and thin, short and wide... these natural starting points influence what your best result will look like. If you are not 100% comfortable, persue another consultation with a plastic surgeon.
