Natural Looking Breasts

If you’re interested in breast augmentation but also want the most natural-looking breasts after your enhancement, you have options. Breast augmentation surgery is a customizable procedure through which women can achieve their ideal breasts with breast implants, the most popular option, or via a fat transfer breast augmentation. When you choose the right surgeon to perform your procedure, you can expect the most natural-looking breast augmentation, whether with natural-looking breast implants or natural fat, to increase natural breast tissue.

Breast Augmentation With Breast Implants

Many women who choose to undergo breast augmentation with breast implants have a very specific aesthetic in mind and want to increase their breast size yet still achieve the most natural-looking breasts after surgery.

Breast implants have come a long way, and when you work with a board-certified plastic surgeon to customize your breast augmentation, you can achieve the most natural-looking breasts after surgery.

Who Is It Right For?

Women Who Want To Enhance Their Natural Breasts

Breast augmentation with breast implants can meet the needs of women with unique cosmetic goals. Women who want to increase breast size and improve breast shape but still maintain the most natural shape may choose to undergo a breast augmentation procedure with smaller breast implants or larger breast implants.

Women who want larger breasts because their natural breasts are smaller due to genetic predisposition can also benefit from cosmetic breast surgery.

Women Who Want To Address Cosmetic Imperfections

Additionally, patients who want to correct breast imperfections like asymmetry or improve body proportions make good candidates for breast augmentation with breast implants.

Women Who Want To Restore Natural-Looking Breasts After Cancer

Women who have had breast cancer and undergone a full or partial mastectomy can schedule natural-looking breast augmentation to restore the most natural-looking breasts and breast volume.

What Are the Different Types of Breast Implants?

There are two primary types of breast implants: silicone implants and saline implants. Both come in different shapes and sizes, and women who want the most anatomical implants can work with an experienced plastic surgeon to determine which implant shape and implant size will promote the most natural appearance.

When plastic surgeons work with their patients to customize their breast implant procedure, they discuss the advantages of each breast implant and help them choose between saline implants and silicone implants, round implants, and teardrop implants. They’ll also help them choose the right breast implant shape and determine breast implant placement.

Silicone Breast Implants

Silicone implants are made of a silicone shell and silicone gel inside. These implants are a popular choice among women who want natural-looking breast implants because they look and feel the most like natural breast tissue. Gummy bear implants are a type of silicone implants that are made of a firm, cohesive, and stable silicone gel filling.

One of the advantages of the gummy bear implant is that the silicone gel ensures the most natural feel after breast augmentation since it feels like natural breast tissue to the touch. Plus, in the rare event that this type of breast implant ruptures for some reason, the silicone gel won’t spread inside the body.

Saline Implants

Saline implants are made of a silicone shell that’s filled with a sterile saline solution typically during the breast augmentation procedure to the patient’s desired level of fullness. Saline breast implants are an excellent option for women who want a natural breast augmentation and have many benefits.

Round Implants and Teardrop Implants

Both silicone implants and saline implants are available in different shapes to meet the needs of women with specific goals who desire a specific breast shape after surgery. Many surgeons advise women who want the most natural-looking breasts to choose teardrop implants, also known as anatomical breast implants because they resemble the natural breast shape. The teardrop is the most common implant shape for natural results, but there is another option.

The round breast implant can also look natural on women with certain body types and frames. Round implants are completely round and create the same level of fullness at the top, bottom, and sides of the breasts after breast augmentation. Many high-profile implants are also round implants. High-profile implants can deliver natural results on women with a specific body frame.

How Does It Work?

The breast augmentation process has several steps. From meeting with your surgeon and choosing the right breast implant to preparing for your surgery and your recovery, it’s important that you do your research to find a surgeon and surgical team who will ensure you have the very best experience.

When you choose the best surgeon, you can achieve the most natural result, ensure that you get the most natural-looking breast implants, choose the right implant size, and feel confident about every aspect of your procedure.

Your Consultation

Your consultation is one of the most important steps in this process. You’ll meet with your plastic surgeon, who will ask you questions about your health history, current health, and cosmetic goals. This is the time to ask questions about the different breast implants, discuss any complementary procedures you’re interested in, like the breast lift, and discuss any concerns you have.

Choosing the Right Breast Implant

Once your surgeon confirms that you’re a good candidate for this procedure, you’ll choose your desired breast implants. Some women want larger implants, while others choose smaller implants. Some want a round implant, while others want a teardrop shape for a more natural appearance.

One of the benefits of your in-person consultation is that you can see the different implant sizes and shape options in person, so you can determine the best type of breast implant to achieve the most natural results. Your choice depends on your desired outcome and the surgeon’s recommendations. Many patients worry about having an unnatural appearance after surgery and, therefore, want the most natural-looking breast implants. When you work with an experienced surgeon, you can expect the most natural-looking results.

Choosing Implant Placement

While many patients think choosing implant size is the most important step in designing the surgical treatment plan, other important aspects must be considered. You’ll discuss the primary implant placement options with your surgeon: subglandular and submuscular.

With subglandular placement, the breast implants are placed beneath the breast tissue, and with submuscular placement, the breast implants are placed beneath the pectoral muscle.

Preparing for Breast Implant Surgery

Once your surgery is scheduled, you’ll need to prepare your body so you can have a successful surgery, prevent complications, and enjoy a quick and healthy recovery. Your surgeon will advise you on how to prepare your body, but typically, you’ll be asked to:

• Live a healthy lifestyle
• Reduce your stress
• Get plenty of sleep
• Exercise
• Eat a healthy diet
• Stay hydrated

Your Breast Augmentation Surgery

The surgeon will follow all the details in your surgical treatment plan, and you’ll be given anesthesia to ensure you stay comfortable through the procedure.

Typical procedures take one to two hours, and surgical timeframes vary based on the extent of the surgery and whether patients choose to undergo other cosmetic procedures simultaneously.

Your Recovery

Once your procedure is over, you’ll move into recovery. When you return home, you’ll need to spend plenty of time resting so your body can heal. It’s important to prepare your home before surgery so that you don’t have to attempt to use extra energy after surgery.

Enlist a friend or family member to help you during those first few days with errands, childcare, dog walking, and meals so that you don’t overexert yourself. Make sure you eat well, follow all of the surgeon’s directives, and get light activity, like walking ,as directed to ensure adequate blood flow and circulation.

The Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation: Increasing Natural Breast Tissue

Fat transfer breast augmentation is one of the breast augmentation options for women interested in breast enhancement who want the most natural-looking result but don’t want to undergo breast surgery with breast implants to reach their cosmetic goals.

Who Is It Right For?

Women who don’t qualify for traditional breast augmentation with breast implants or who are interested in enhancing their breasts and achieving the most natural shape without breast implants are good candidates for a fat transfer.

Women won’t have to worry about further surgery after the fat transfer, since the results are long-lasting. Ideal candidates will be in good health and have enough excess fat at the donor site to ensure a successful fat transfer and increase breast tissue and volume.

How Does It Work?

The fat transfer breast augmentation is the most natural and minimally invasive of the breast augmentation options. The surgeon begins by using liposuction, a body contouring technique, to remove excess fat from a problem area on the body, such as the abdomen, buttocks, hips, arms, or elsewhere.

The fat removed during the fat transfer is then cleaned, prepared, and injected into the breasts on top of the pectoralis muscle to create a very natural-looking result.

What Are the Benefits?

Women can expect the transferred fat to create the most natural look and feel. There’s minimal risk associated with this procedure, and women who choose this type of breast augmentation will achieve the most natural outcomes. The fat transfer won’t create the same level of fullness as the breast augmentation with breast implants, but it does deliver permanent and natural-looking results.

The Natural-Looking Breast Augmentation Procedure: Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Capsular Contracture?

Capsular contracture is a condition in which excessive scar tissue forms around the implant and causes varying levels of pain and discomfort. The breasts will feel hard to the touch, and resolving this condition requires surgery and breast implant removal.

This condition is rare, and if it does occur, it typically happens within the first two years after the procedure. Your surgeon can discuss any concerns you have about this condition to put your mind at ease.

What Procedures Complement the Breast Augmentation?

Many women who choose to augment their breasts with implants also add a breast lift to their surgical treatment plan. This procedure will eliminate loose or sagging skin, enhance breast shape, and lift the breasts higher on the chest wall.

It’s ideal for women whose breasts have been negatively impacted by weight loss, pregnancy, aging, nursing, and gravity. Other complementary procedures include the tummy tuck, facelift, neck lift, rhinoplasty, and liposuction.

How Can I Ensure the Most Natural Look After Surgery?

Ensuring the most natural-looking breasts after surgery begins with choosing the right surgeon. Find a surgeon with patient testimonials you can read or watch. Also, read reviews to get a better idea of their client base and satisfaction rate.

The best surgeon will know how to design a procedure with the right breast implants that will look completely natural but also complement your figure and improve your body proportions.

How Long Does the Recovery Take?

Recovery after breast augmentation typically takes six to eight weeks. Healing times vary based on each patient, their surgical treatment plan, and current health. Women should plan on resting for the first several days and can resume light activity after approximately one week.
