Are there differences in the way breast augmentation is performed on women who are completely flat, thin and muscular, than other types of women? If so it will be great to know a bit more about what they are. I have such a frame and would like a natural looking b cup. I ask because I don’t know how important it is that I search for a surgeon who has performed a breast augmentation on a women with my frame (using the community reviews) and got a natural looking result.
Answer: Trade-offs for breast implants in thin athletic women There are several things you and your plastic surgeon need to consider in order to get a good result:The implant diameter and profile need to be matched to the base diameter of your breasts and the desired size. Do not go with a higher profile implant.Muscle coverage is usually desirable but problematic in athletic, muscular women because of issues such as animation deformity with the common dual plane technique. The split muscle plane is often a good compromise, because it does not detach the pectoral muscle but preserves coverage. Also, it does not weaken the muscle as dual plane does.The gel firmness of the implant is also important, Softer gels may ripple too much. Gummy implants may look too firm and fake. Inspira Soft Touch or Sientra 107 Are good options.

Answer: #breastaugmentation with #breastimplants with #PlasticSurgery in flat chested patients In patients who have very little breast tissue or sub cutaneous fat, hiding implants can be a particular issue and the shape of the breast is essentially dictated by the shape of the implant. It is therefore advisable to have an anatomical shaped or tear drop implant. As there is very little breast tissue to cover the implant, one should consider placing the implant under the muscle (dual plane technique) to cover at least the upper part of the implant as much as possible. There can however be issues with animation of the implant, but the incidence of this can be reduced by surgical technique. Lastly, aim for a modest volume implant as larger the implant, the more unnatural it might look.

Answer: Are there specific techniques for augmentation on flat chests? Based on your photos- I would place implants sub-muscular- you can see some examples in our gallery. Best to seek a Board Certified PS for in person exam to go over all details

Answer: Flat chest Thanks for your question. I would tend to put implants under the muscles in flat chested individuals to disguise the upper pole of the implant. For absolutely the most natural look you may also consider teardrop shaped implants, although there is little extra beneift compared to round implants under the muscles which actually take on a teardrop shape with the upper half is pushed flatter by being covered by muscle.

Answer: Breast augmentation with very little breast tissue Excellent question. The short answer is yes, there are different techniques used. Bottom line is that we want to minimize the risk of an implant becoming visible. For women with very minimal breast tissue we typically will place the implant partially under the pectoralis major muscle. Not everyone is a good candidate for this treatment so please see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to evaluate if you may benefit. Good luck!
