I've been researching and I've read that sometimes if you have very small breasts and not a lot of extra tissue to work with you can get "balloon boobs" kind of like Victoria Beckhams, I am considering getting implants but I'm worried about this happening as I would like them to look as natural as possible. For reference I am a small A cup and I'd like to go up to a C
Answer: Amount of Breast Tissue and Augmentation Small breasts with little extra tissue is not a contraindication to breast augmentation surgery and in fact is one of the most common reasons women seek breast augmentation. Utilizing proper measurements, a procedure can be designed to give you a very natural result. I think your description of yourself is the typical patient requesting a breast augmentation. I would recommend you see a board-certified plastic surgeon who has an expertise in breast augmentation to discuss your concerns.

Answer: Selection of implants for very small breasts I would not focus on cup size. Choosing an implant based on an aesthetic goal that exceeds your anatomic capacity may lead to complications and possibly revision. The size and type of implant selected will be very important to achieving optimal, natural results. Search for plastic surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery with elite credentials (education, experience, training) who perform hundreds of breast augmentations each year with favorable patient reviews. Then schedule a virtual (it's typically free and will allow you to discuss your concerns and provide more photos) and/or in-office (the fee is typically applied to the surgery) examination to discuss the best options for your BA.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Answer: A natural fuller breast with augmentation should be everyone's goal with surgery Hi,A breast augmentation should look natural and beautiful. Big for the sake of big, is not the same as beautiful. It is hard to give you a complete answer without seeing you. However, I think it is fair to say that you should expect a beautiful breast augmentation that looks natural. There are several decisions about implants and where to place the implant that can help make your result look natural. I usually go over that information with patients in a lot of detail and help them to decide what the best choice is for them. I am proud to say that I have never needed to change or revise the implants of any of my patients, as we do spend a lot of time coming up with the perfect implant for them ahead of time.Although you may not need this, I do like to use some fat to disguise the implant for patients. It is something I have done hundreds of times for my reconstructive patients. It is a newer technique that not many plastic surgeons are comfortable with yet, but I have been very pleased with the results. Most cosmetic patients do not need this, but for those that are thin or have tight tissue it is a great way to further disguise the implant, giving a nicer looking result.I hope that helps. Regards, Rodger Shortt, Oakville Plastic Surgeon.

Answer: How to augment a "tight breast" How "natural" or "fake" a breast augmentation looks is an interplay between the breast and the implant. The larger the implant and the tighter the breast tissue, the more "fake" the result will look. Conversely, if the breast tissues are looser (such as someone who has breast fed her children), even a larger implant will look more "natural."For women who have tighter breasts to begin with and who want a more "natural" look we typically recommend choosing a smaller implant or a teardrop shaped implant rather than a round device.Please explore all options with your surgeon.

Answer: Breast augmentation #mastpopexy #breastimplants #woundhealing #gelimplants Dear MMF1993Thank you for your questions! Sizing for breast augmentation is the most challenging decision! Trying different sizers helps- and the profile or shape of the implant is important. Photographs can be of help - but your surgeon should be able to help you make a decision.With Warm RegardsTrevor M Born MD
