I have AA breasts and I'd like a breast augmentation but I have a very small frame and no subcutaneous fat. My goal would be natural looking and feeling breasts, would implants be an option?
Answer: Implants the smaller patient. Thanks for your question. It is always more challenging to make a patient natural looking when the natural breast is small. Breast tissue draping over implants tends to soften the apperance and provide camoflauge to the underlying implant. Smaller breasted patients have less camouflauge. I think of three things to make the patients with smaller breasts as natural at possible: 1) under the muscle - sub muscular implants allow an additiona layer of tissue to help soften the look of the upper ple of the implants. 2) Common sense size -- the implant must fit your frame, but the larger you go the less able you are to hide the fact that you have implants. 3) Soft silicone- Implants are now available in different firmness. A soft ( standard) silicone will take on a tear drop shape inside the body and tend to look and feel more natural paticularly in the slender patient. I hope this helps.

Answer: Would breast implants be an option for my AA breasts? My goal is to have natural looking and feeling breasts Breast implants can give you upper pole fullness. If you go with a implant that is not to big, you can achieve natural looking breasts. Find a implant that compliments your body and you can have natural, fuller breasts.

Answer: Would breast implants be an option for my AA breasts? My goal is to have natural looking and feeling breasts I'm not sure you really have options other than an implant if you want larger breasts. It does not sound like there is fat to transfer. You can work with your surgeon to find an implant size/shape that will be help with your goals.

Answer: Breast implants Yes, it is possible to get natural looking and feeling breasts despite your current size. For the desired outcome, choose proportionately sized implants as well as an experienced board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Meeting with a plastic surgeon would help Hi jj62, Based on your description, it's hard to say if you'd be a good candidate for an augmentation. Breast implants can be round or shaped/anatomic, and each has a distinct look. For women who start with minimal breast tissue, the implant can help to better shape the breast--but the lack of coverage can be an issue that leads to higher rate of implant palpability. I'd suggest meeting with a plastic surgeon for a consultation--he or she can walk you through the process, use try on sizing and measurements to better understand your goals, and discuss what implant type or style might be best for you.
