Addressing a common concern about breast augmentation surgery.
Breast augmentation is by far the most popular plastic surgery procedure in North America. Unfortunately, its ubiquitousness also means that there are plenty of examples of breast implants that look exaggerated or unnatural.
The anxiety over an unnatural-looking or unnatural-feeling breast augmentation outcome prevents many Kitchener-Waterloo, London, and Southern Ontario women from pursuing breast augmentation. This is unfortunate because the procedure can benefit women concerned with underdeveloped breasts, breast asymmetry, volume loss, or other aesthetic breast concerns.
What makes breast implants look fake?
In some cases, a patient may have implants that are too big and unnatural looking because the surgeon failed to properly consider a woman’s natural frame and anatomic limitations. Other issues may also play into unnatural-looking breast implants, of course, including where and how the breast implant is placed under the breast tissue. However, one of the most important considerations for creating appealing breast augmentation results is how the breast implant size fits the proportions of the woman’s body.
Is there a natural-looking breast augmentation using implants?
In answer to whether or not a breast augmentation surgery can look natural, the unequivocal answer is YES. Here’s how we help ensure that you’ll enjoy breast augmentation results that fit your body and your goals:
- A qualified and experienced plastic surgeon will perform a thorough assessment of height, weight, body frame, and breast characteristics in order to develop a surgical plan that will fulfill your needs.
- Your surgeon will explain the differences between saline and silicone implants, as well as choices for incisions, and the option to place the implants above or below the pectoralis muscle of the chest. Each of these options has its pros and cons, and your surgeon will advise you on a course of action that is ideal for your aesthetic goals and lifestyle.
- The best way to ascertain whether or not a surgeon’s aesthetic taste is a fit for you is to look at their before and after results. You can view our patients’ breast augmentation results in our photo gallery.
How do I choose a breast surgeon?
Another important way to ensure you get the breast augmentation results you desire is to find a qualified plastic surgeon to perform your procedure. Your surgeon should be certified by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and experienced in breast enhancement procedures, including breast augmentation and breast lift surgery. During your consultation, your surgeon should be willing to listen closely to your goals, answer all your questions openly, and help you to develop realistic expectations for your surgery. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons offers additional information about what to expect during a breast augmentation consultation.
