Modern breast augmentation surgery has made strides in recent decades, allowing an exceptional level of customization and more natural-looking results than ever before. That said, several factors can affect how natural breast implants look, including the type of implant, placement location, and your individual body type and breast anatomy. The experience and skill of your plastic surgeon are also essential to creating your ideal breast contours, which is why we strongly advise entrusting your goals to a board-certified NYC plastic surgeon.
Factors that often influence breast augmentation results may include:
- Type and Size of Implant: Silicone implants are known for their more natural feel and appearance when compared to saline, especially for those with smaller amounts of breast tissue. That said, large implants may look less natural if placed in thin individuals due to the potential for rippling.
- Placement Location: Submuscular (under the muscle) placement tends to create a more natural slope to the breast, as the muscle provides an additional layer of coverage when compared to over-the-muscle placement. Subglandular (over the muscle) placement may result in a more noticeable implant edge, especially in women with less natural breast tissue.
- Existing Breast Tissue: The amount of natural breast tissue coverage can play a significant role. Women with more existing breast tissue tend to have a more natural outcome, as the tissue helps cover the implant and makes it less visible or palpable.
- Choosing a Top-Rated Breast Surgeon: A highly experienced and skilled plastic surgeon can create a more natural look by choosing the right implant, placement, and surgical technique for your body type, lifestyle, and goals.
A skilled plastic surgeon will carefully consider these factors, along with your aesthetic goals, to create a result that feels balanced and harmonious with your body. With modern techniques and implants, many patients achieve very natural-looking results. However, it’s essential to communicate your expectations clearly during your consultation to ensure the outcome aligns with your vision.
