Breast Augmentation and Natural-Looking Results: What You Need to Know

Breast augmentation has been around for decades and remains a sought-after cosmetic procedure. But overdone, unnatural-looking breasts aren’t for everyone, as many seek results to enhance their natural beauty and physique. If you’re considering breast implants and want a subtle, proportional outcome, understanding key factors like implant type, size, placement, and surgeon expertise is essential.

At Altos Oaks Plastic Surgery, our board-certified surgeons specialize in creating elegant, natural-looking breast augmentation results using advanced techniques tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy. With a commitment to safety and precision, our team creates a seamless experience from consultation to recovery, delivering beautiful, natural enhancements that complement your body.

Choosing the Right Implant for a Natural Look

The type and size of your implant play a major role in achieving a natural appearance. Silicone implants, particularly cohesive gel (“gummy bear”) implants, tend to mimic the softness and feel of natural breast tissue better than saline implants. Additionally, selecting an implant size that complements your body’s natural proportions prevents an exaggerated look.

Implant Placement: Over vs. Under the Muscle

The positioning of your implants can also impact how natural they appear. Placing implants under the chest muscle (submuscular placement) creates a more gradual slope, mimicking the natural shape of breasts. This method also helps conceal implant edges, reducing the likelihood of visible rippling.

Breast Shape and Profile Matter

Choosing the right implant profile—how much the implant projects from the chest—affects how natural your results look. Low and moderate-profile implants create a subtle enhancement, while high-profile implants project more prominently. Women seeking a natural appearance often opt for moderate-profile implants to maintain a soft, proportionate contour.

The Importance of a Skilled Surgeon

A board-certified plastic surgeon with experience in natural-looking breast augmentations can tailor the procedure to your unique anatomy. During your consultation, they will assess your body frame, skin elasticity, and breast tissue to recommend the best implant type, size, and placement for seamless, realistic results.
