Will Breast Augmentation Look Natural?
Patients often choose to have breast augmentation as a way of adding volume to breasts that have always been naturally small or restoring volume that has been lost due to pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or aging. One of the most commonly searched for questions relating to breast augmentation is “Can you get natural looking implants?” Our New Jersey-based team at The Peer Group can help you get the most balanced, realistic results from this procedure if you want a natural curvy appearance from implants.
Many people today would agree that the best implants are the ones that look real. In previous decades, the large sizes and unnatural shapes of many breast implants made them much more obvious. Think of the Baywatch look.
In contrast, patients these days tend to want their implants to look as similar to natural breasts as possible. An increasing number of people are thinking about the shape and proportion of their implants instead of just focusing on size.
Two factors that will need to be taken into consideration if a patient wants natural-looking results from breast implants are the amount of natural breast tissue the patient has and the size of the implants themselves. Even though it might be tempting to choose larger implants, there’s a chance that they make look fake if they don’t fit with your current proportions. If the natural base of a patient’s breast is small and they choose implants that are significantly larger, the results tend to look artificial.
The placement and positioning of implants can also have an impact on their appearance. When implants are placed under the pectoral muscles, it creates a more natural, gradual slope at the top of the breasts. The muscle helps to soften the appearance of the implants and create a smoother silhouette, especially for those who are very thin, without much fat on the chest. Another way to ensure that your implants look as natural as possible is by combining fat grafting with implants. Fat grafting helps implants to settle into a more natural looking position and can also help to camouflage any imperfections or irregularities.
Ultimately, your desired look is up to you. Some people want obviously large breasts. Others are seeking more natural-looking implants?
