Natural Looking Breast Implants

Natural looking breast implants are the result of a carefully planned and well executed breast augmentation surgery. The final aesthetic results of breast enlargement are based on the skill of the surgeon, the choices made by the patient and quality of the post-operative care. Achieving a natural look when it comes to enhanced breasts is not difficult, but the process must begin with the earliest decisions made prior to the actual operation.

Choosing Natural Looking Breast Implants

The first method of achieving a natural look is to inform your doctor that you are seeking a less obvious enhancement. Discussing your expectations for a more organic appearance is key to getting your cosmetic surgeon tuned in to your thought process. The doctor must understand that you want to be bigger, but not obviously artificial. Once you and the doctor agree to go for a very natural looking result, you can work together to begin the process of choosing the correct implants and procedure to achieve your desired results.

Natural Looking Breast Implant Choices

Silicone breast implants are usually preferred for their look and feel. Saline implants generally do not demonstrate the same lifelike qualities as silicone. Placing saline implants under the muscle will help to make them more realistic. Cohesive silicone implants are not as soft as traditional silicone gel filled shells, but have other advantages which make them preferable for many women. Regardless of the implant chosen, a good plastic surgeon can create a natural look and feel and an incredible final result.

Real Looking Breast Implants / Incisions and Placement

Breast scars are a tell tale sign of augmentation surgery. A procedure which minimizes scarring will certainly make your breasts appear more natural under close inspection. Transaxillary and Transumbilical breast enlargement really leave very little evidence of a surgical entrance wound. However, certain procedures are only available with saline implants, so a compromise of implant material might have to be made in order to accommodate the chosen surgical approach.

Placing any implant style under the muscle (submuscular) or partially under the muscle (subpectoral) will help to make the implants blend into the organic breast tissue better. Submuscular placement places more anatomical tissue over the implant, helping to cover and conceal it from view and touch. This is especially important for women with very little natural breast tissue prior to surgery.

Achieving Natural Looking Breast Implants

As always, you must take an active role in the design and execution of your breast enlargement procedure. You should have an ongoing open dialog with your doctor during the entire process, so that you both know what is being planned and the expected results. Most of all, you must understand your options and choose carefully to reach your bodily appearance goals. If you complete all these factors successfully, you will not only have beautiful new natural looking breasts, but you will enjoy and understand the art and science of cosmetic breast surgery from an enlightened viewpoint.
