My fiance is Asian and has little or no breast tissue. She wears a bra that is essentially all foam, as there is no need to wear one. She is very self-conscious about it and wants to have breast implants.
I am concerned that with so little natural tissue that it would not look right, and she might be even more self-conscious.
Would breast implants look natural on a woman with little or no natural tissue, and if so, how much enhancement could she expect ? She is very thin with very tight skin.

Answer: Submuscular placement will help... It’s not unusual for plastic surgeons to encounter patients with minimal native breast tissue.For these patients, breast augmentation has the potential to dramatically improve the quality of their lives.When this situation arises, the best results are obtained when patients undergo breast augmentation with moderate sized, moderate profile silicone breast implants.In addition, results appear to be better when implants are placed in a submuscular position.This approach minimizes the potential for an unnatural artificial look.It avoids excess upper breast fullness and avoids rippling which is frequently seen when saline implants are placed on top of the muscle.In patients with minimal native breast tissue who are considering breast augmentation, consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon is appropriate.This surgeon should be able to formulate a treatment plan that addresses both anatomic findings and aesthetic goals.

Answer: Breast implants that look natural If your fiancee is concerned about her appearance then she can consider breast augmentation. It is possible to achieve beautiful results even with little breast tissue. She may want to consider submuscular placement with silicone implants, but she should talk to a PS for an in-person consult.

Answer: Natural Looking Breast Augmentation You are right to be concerned about achieving a natural look in a women with little breast tissue and very tight skin. However, it can be done. All skin stretches. We also have many more options of implant shapes and sizes, more than ever before. A smaller, perhaps shaped, implant should work well for her without making her look ridiculous or completely unproportioned.
