Would I be able to have a subglandular augmentation? (Photo)

B
BreastaugmenmaybeApr 6, 2020

I am considering a breast augmentation and would like fuller breasts. I am happy with the shape I would just like an increase in size. I would like natural looking results (“keep them guessing”) and am wondering if I would be able to have a subglandular augmentation without too much upper pole fullness, distinct borders or an “augmented look.”

Thanks for your question which is a challenging one! If you don't want scars or implants to correct your asymmetry then fat grafting and liposuction are your best options. In fact both fat grafting and liposuction do leave multiple small scars, but they are normally placed in hidden areas and...

Judging from your photos you do not have tubular breasts. You do have a modest asymmetry which is very common. Your breasts may continue to develop and change over the next months to several years. Once the breasts are fully developed and you have concerns, then meet with a board certified...
