Breast implants with natural downward slope as opposed to sticking straight out? (photos)

Question

Have you ever noticed how some breasts, both natural and implants stick out (almost forming a horizontal line from crease nipple) whereas some breast have a nice and natural downward slope? Right now my implants seem to stick straight out on the bottom, but I much prefer the slight downward fall over the fold. Am I making any sense here?? I am including pics. :) How could one achieve the natural "slope" look? I plan to get my BI redone soon and want everything to be perfect! Thank you!!

Thank you for the question and pictures. Although I understand your goals of the “natural slope look”, I have to caution you that very rarely is the outcome of breast surgery “perfect”. It is important, to achieve realastic expectations prior to proceeding. I would suggest that you select your plastic surgeon carefully. Then, communicate your goals carefully as you have done here with photographs as well as verbal communication. It is likely, that with the use of appropriate breast implants size/profile, as well as any adjustments of the breast implant capsules as necessary, that you will achieve closer to your goals with revisionary breast surgery. You may find the attached link, dedicated to the more “natural look”, helpful to you. Best wishes.

and if tissue is lacking, you will never have a 'natural' slope and result as they are more likely in women who have plenty of breast tissue to camouflage the underlying implant.  If you are only going to have surgeon in pursuit of 'natural', you need to make sure your surgeon understands your expectations AND you should know what your surgeon's revision policy is as you may need it if you are not 'natural' after your surgery.

These
days, the definitive trend among women is for a more natural-looking
augmentation, so you’re in good company. Without personal photos, of course,
it’s hard for me to make a specific recommendation. However, generally
speaking, women get that round “fake” look when they use high-profile implants.
Moderate profile implants lend themselves better to the gentle slope you’re
describing. Definitely take the photos you posted here along to your
consultation to help better describe your hoped-for results, and take the time
to find an experienced board certified plastic surgeon who’s skilled in breast
surgery revision.
