Here is some helpful information on how you can get a natural look with your breast augmentation procedure and some factors you need to consider.

Concerned your breasts won’t look natural?

Many women in the Greater New Jersey area who want to enhance their breasts by size or shape don’t want them to be too large or look fake. Breast augmentation adds volume and shape to a woman’s current breasts by creating a more attractive appearance. With new advances in plastic surgery procedures and medical technology, there are a variety of sizes, types, and shapes available to choose from when compared to breast augmentation decades ago. It has never been a better time to consider breast augmentation, so you feel more confident and happier about how your breasts look — even if you want a more natural-looking enhancement.

Moving forward, certain factors matter

If you are wanting a more natural appearance to your breast augmentation, then you should discuss that specifically with your plastic surgeon during your initial consultation about what you envision for the final outcome. The experts at The Peer Group can help guide you in the right direction for optimal results, but it is also important to do your homework in advance. Here are some factors to think about when it comes to obtaining a more natural-looking breast augmentation:

Consider the size

It is not just about what implant type you will choose but also the size of the implant you select. For women in New Jersey who run or exercise frequently, you don’t want your new implants to get in the way. Larger implants are also heavier in weight. For more natural-looking breasts, you want to pick a size that compliments your body frame. You don’t want to do a revision surgery in 6-9 months because you went too small or you picked too large of a size that you are more embarrassed about and want to hide. Don’t look at just your chest but your overall body type. Discuss with your plastic surgeon what size works best for your specific body structure but allows you to keep the natural look you desire.

Consider implant type

For most women in New Jersey who are considering any type of breast augmentation, the implant type features the usual players of saline or silicone. Saline implants are filled with a sterile saltwater solution after being placed in the chest. As a result, the incisions made by the board-certified plastic surgeons at The Peer Group are usually smaller than those necessary for other types of implants. Saline implants can be rolled up before being inserted through incisions that are made under the arm, beneath the breast fold, or below the areola. The implants are filled after insertion so the size can be adjusted accordingly.

Silicone is a popular choice for women who want a more natural feel and look. Popular for women who are thin-chested, silicone implants are composed of a silicone shell that is filled with a silicone gel. However, unlike saline implants, silicone implants are pre-filled and require a larger incision than saline implants in order to be placed in the chest. Also, because they are pre-filled before they are implanted, the size cannot change once they are inserted.

Consider the implant shape

Since women come in all shapes and sizes, working with a board-certified plastic surgeon is recommended to get their opinion on what implant shape will work for you. Implants can be round or teardrop shape. Women wanting more cleavage or fullness will pick a round implant. Women wanting a more natural appearance can consider a teardrop shape. It is fuller at the bottom and mimics the natural contour of a breast.
