Breast Augmentation

Question of the Month

Q
Is it possible to increase my size more than a cup and still look natural?

A
The short answer is yes, but it truly depends on your body and your physical activities.

Your breast implant's final shape (and, thus, the shape of the augmented breast) depends on the interaction of surrounding tissues and skeleton. Petite women without a lot of body fat who choose a very large size may notice that their implants are visible when they lie down (due to stretching of the skin across the implant). Stockier women may notice that a too-small or too "high" (placement on the chest) implant looks disproportionate with the rest of their body and therefore unnatural.

A breast implant can also appear unnatural for women depending on their lifestyle. Your occupation, your hobbies, how you dress, and your general physical activities factor into whether your implant size is appropriate.

Your doctor will work with you to determine the most appropriate implant size for your body shape and also your lifestyle.
