Is incognito breast surgery possible with smaller, “soft” tissued breasts? (Photos)

Smaller breast implants tend to be more natural.  Implant size should be less than one's breast base diameter.  Silicone implants may feel softer.  Another option for breast augmentation is fat grafting; taking one own's fat from the abdomen or elsewhere to enhance breast size.

Good morning!Absolutely- you don't need big implants, so I would recommend a Mod Plus Mentor implant, 200-250cc, through a nipple or crease incision, under the muscle, for a nearly imperceptible implant and totally natural look and feel.

Hi LoreleiAndersen,

Women’s breasts have some degree of asymmetry. Some may be more noticeable than others. You do exhibit breast asymmetry. 
A breast asymmetry correction may be needed to correct the asymmetry. In most cases, this surgery may or may not involve correction in both breasts. For example, large breasts can be reduced to a more manageable size, but the amount of reduction might differ between each breast if one happens to be naturally larger than the other. The same can be said if a person wants to augment their small breasts to a larger size: one might be augmented more than the other.

You should discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon. Make sure your surgeon understands your goals.

It appears that your breasts are asymmetric regarding position of nipples, size and (possibly) their position on the chest? In person evaluation is needed for full assessment. Breast augmentation and moderate lift (peri-areolar) of one breast would be my suggestion. Silicone implants would create natural look, firmness and feel. Good luck.

Of the over 300,000 women a year that get breast augmentation, more than 80 percent choose silicone because it most closely resembles the look and feel of a natural breast.  Schedule an in-office consultation with an ABPS board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of breast augmentation surgeries each year, has great reviews, and has great before and after pictures. He/she can lead you to the proper size silicone gel breast implant.  You may not be able to achieve incognito breast surgery, but you can keep them pondering.

Hello and thank you for your question. You are a great candidate for a breast augmentation.  When the implant is placed behind the muscle, this can have a very natural look and feel.   The size, profile, and shape of the implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality.  This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon.   Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. 

Best wishes and good luck.

When implants are placed behind the muscle, only the part of the implant that is not behind muscle can be felt. This could occur mostly around the side and under the breasts depending on how thick or thin the skin is in that area. The interpretation of the "feel" can vary from person to person.Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author

Lorelei.   I appreciate your concern, and achieving a result with larger, perkier yet natural looking and feeling breasts should be your goal. The shape of your breasts is quite pretty and one key to attaining a natural looking and feeling breast is size of implants.  Overly large implants in a smaller frame, like yours, make the Breasts look and feel fake.  Placement of the implants below the muscle is also helpful. Finally, the newer generation silicone implants are extremely soft and natural feeling. My goal with regard to breast augmentation is to achieve in natural look so the only person that knows you have had the operation is you!  Your breasts, your business! Come see me or another board-certified plastic surgeon in the area for a full consultation. Good luck.

Hi there, 
Love the question, love the pics. If you have small, perky breasts and  are looking for  a moderate 2 cup size enhancement and want your breasts to feel and behave as natural as possible because you have fatty breasts...why use implants, of any size or texture,  at all?

You'd be a potentially superb candidate for lipofilling (fat transfer). The advantages of the procedure are that the fat can be directed to the breast areas you want to most enhance  eg upper pole, lower pole, projection, cleavage etc.
Small soft cohesive gel implants (slimplants) are available but the most natural looking & feeling breasts would be those enhanced with your own tissues.
Best wishes and good luck!

Thank you for your question and photos
There are several variables to be considered when answering this question. It is always difficult to make a diagnosis based on photos alone, however, an augmentation with a smooth round silicone implant will achieve great results. When you meet with a board certified plastic surgeon, they will perform a set of measurements that will help determine what size of implants will fit your body and if a breast lift is necessary.  I hope this is helpful.
