Natural-Looking Breast Surgical Procedures: What You Need to Know

For many of my patients considering breast surgery, the goal is to achieve a result that enhances their body’s natural shape without looking artificial. Subtlety and a natural look take precedence over dramatic changes. And that is certainly true when it comes to breast augmentation, breast lifts, and breast reduction surgeries. Here  are some key considerations for achieving natural-looking breast surgical outcomes.

Understand Your Goals

The first step toward achieving natural results is clearly defining your aesthetic goals. Are you looking to restore volume loss due to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging? Do you want a slight enhancement to improve proportion or symmetry? Have your breasts sagged or gotten too big or heavy? Understanding these concerns helps me recommend the best approach. That’s why an initial consultation is so important to help clarify your goals and discuss options. 

Breast Augmentation with Natural Results

Achieving a natural look requires careful planning. That’s why in addition to discussing your options, we also have 3D imaging that lets you “see” how you’ll look before making any decisions prior to surgery.

Here are three key decisions I discuss with patients about breast augmentation: Implant type; size and placement; and incision location.

Implant Type 

• Silicone Implants: Known for their natural feel and appearance, silicone implants are a top choice for patients seeking enhancement. 
• Saline Implants: These provide a firmer feel and are adjustable in size during surgery, but may not always feel as natural. 
• Fat Transfer (Autologous Augmentation): For the most natural subtle change, I often use fat harvested  from your own body through liposuction, eliminating the need for implants entirely.

Implant Size And Placement

Choosing an implant size proportional to your body shape is crucial for a natural result. Additionally, placement varies based on the size and type of implant, as well as your body type. I can place implants over the pec muscle (submammary/subglandular) or under the chest muscle (submuscular).

Incision Location

No one wants to see scars. That’s why I use discreet incision sites, such as under the breast fold to minimize visible scarring.

Breast Lift for Natural Contours

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is ideal if you want to restore a youthful shape without increasing your breast size. For this procedure, I remove excess skin, reposition your nipples, and tighten the surrounding tissue to create a perkier, more natural and more youthful contour.

Breast Reduction with Balanced Proportions

For patients seeking relief from overly large breasts, breast reduction offers both functional and aesthetic benefits. By carefully removing excess tissue and reshaping the breasts, I can create a proportionate and natural-looking result that aligns with the rest of your body.

Combination Procedures

In many cases, I combine a breast lift with augmentation for patients who need both volume and lift, and with breast reduction to balance your reduced size and shape. The key is my tailoring the approach to each patient’s unique anatomy.

Achieving a natural look doesn’t end in the operating room. Proper care plays a vital role in ensuring the best outcome. That’s why I provide my smart recovery for every breast procedure I perform.
