I never developed breasts as a teen. I was misdiagnosed and medicated during my teenage years for something I never had and it arrested my development. I've been too self conscious about it to even speak to a GP. I do have nice nipples but I'm not big enough for even a real AA cup size. I've strongly considered augmentation but I'm concerned because there isn't even a base. Does this complicate matters?

Answer: Breast augmentation - impact of having little or no breast tissue prior to surgery I would recommend an implant completely covered by muscle for patients like you. This way the implant should never really be seen or felt. Seeing the implant or feeling the implant is what makes the small breasted patient a challenge but it really comes down to choosing a implant that fits you precisely. Another recommendation may be to use a silicone implant over a saline to make sure it feels as normal as possible. You will do great!! Best Wishes!!

Answer: Breast augmentation when there is no breast tissue It can definitely be more challenging to perform a breast augmentation on someone who has very little breast tissue. However, it is possible to achieve a nice, natural result if the right implant and proper technique are used. You will likely benefit from a form-stable (cohesive), silicone implant and from it being placed partially under the muscle. This approach will give more natural-looking breasts by decreasing the risk of visible implant "rippling" and make the final result more natural-feeling. When there is not much breast tissue to "camouflage" the implant, as in your case, the key is a silicone implant under the muscle. Consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon will put your mind at ease.
