I will be meeting with a plastic surgeon to discuss having a Breast Augmentation. I want to achieve a very artificial look so that people can tell right away that they are fake. I know this sounds unusual but if I wanted a natural look I would keep what God gave me. I don't mean that I want them to look asymmetrical, just extremely modified.So right now I am a 36B with a medium build. What tends to look more artificial: sub-glandular or sub-muscular? High or Moderate profile?
Answer: Breast implant size
It is very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C cup” or "fake looking" means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate.
I use intraoperative sizers and place the patient in the upright position to evaluate breast size. Use of these sizers also allow me to select the press implant profile (low, moderate, moderate plus, high-profile) that would most likely achieve the patient's goals. The patient's goal pictures are hanging on the wall, and allow for direct comparison.
I have found that this system is very helpful in improving the chances of achieving the patient's goals as consistently as possible.
By the way, the most common regret after this operation, is “I wish I was bigger”.
I hope this helps.

Answer: Fake look This really depends on your pre-surgery measurements and natural breast tissue. In general, if you want an obviously enhanced look, go for something that's larger, saline filled and with more projection. Please think about the long term implications of your surgery, before you proceed however.Be honest with your surgeon and open about your expectations.

Answer: Artificial Look Hi, Thank you for your question. If you want the fake look, go with high profile implants over the muscle. These will go beyond what is appropriate for your own dimensions giving you that fake look. Increasing the volume will also achieve this look. I think this is something that you should seriously consider before actually doing. There are several complications and issues such as rippling, thinning skin, and increased sagging that can arise when doing all of these things which is why most doctors would advise against doing this. It is your body to do with what you want, but what seems like a good idea now may not be in the future. Best regards, Dr. Speron

Answer: Subglandular large high profile implant for a more obvious "fake" look IF you are seeking to achieve a look which we generally try to avoid, you would want to place a large high profile breast implant in a subglandular position. However, I am not advising this. of course, exceptions to this exist and I have placed such an implant under the appropriate conditions to achieve a natural look but this generally requires adequate mammary parenchyma in an individual with involutional atrophy and pseudoptosis.

Answer: Reconsider fake look using breast implants RealSelfgirl04 You will find several other posts that suggest how to achieve the look you request, but my advice is to please re-consider having that done. As physicians and surgeons we may be able to provide the overly "fake" result you request, but it would likely be a disservice to you as a patient and as a person. Our goals are to enhance you natural appearance. The look you request entails increased risks of surgical breast problems. We wouldn't want to cause you problems. It probably also entails an increased association with emotional problems, which we wouldn't want for you either. Please re-consider.
