34 years old/5'4"/106 lbs. 32 AA. I want implants that don't look like implants if that's possible? I know there are various kinds and alternative procedures like fat transplants. I want them to be just big enough for clothes and swimsuits to fit well. The top of my shirts constantly slide down leaving my bra showing as my breasts aren't big enough to hold them up even in padded bras. What makes implants look most natural? A small increase to still fit my frame? Implant type? Surgeon skill?

Answer: Natural look It is possible to achieve a natural, conservative enhancement. Begin by visiting a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation. During this visit your surgeon will discuss with you what your surgical goals are and your breasts will be measured. This is different than measuring for a bra. Conservatively sized silicone implants placed beneath the muscle can give the natural look you are wanting. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.

Answer: Implant type Dear Meli.09, breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Breast implants are a great surgical option if you're looking to add volume to your breasts. The most natural results will be achieved by adding a small implant proportional to your body underneath your breast muscle. I would recommend scheduling a consult appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon like myself to discuss the best treatment/surgical plan for your desired goals.
