Breast Shape Expectations After Breast Augmentation SurgeryBy ISAAC of Jobslover.com
Breast augmentation surgery will always make a dramatic difference in the size of your
breasts but the final shape may be a different matter. It is common for me to see patients who
bring in pictures of what they want their breasts to look like, taken from magazines and
internet sites. And while these images are tremendously helpful to me in understanding what
size a patient wants, such pictures can also be misleading to the patient if they
believe that their breast shape may look the same as that illustrated.
In general, the final
breast shape after implant placement is heavily controlled by what your
breast shape was before surgery. This may be hard for some patients to envision as their
may be flat, droopy, or otherwise undesirable. But the components of one's that may not
be well appreciated when they are smaller, will become much more appreciated when they are
larger.
And we as plastic surgeons can not alter significantly the basic blueprint of the breast
shape. For example, if you have little tissue (A or small B cup) and your skin is
tight, you will likely end up with a rounder shape to your no matter what size implant or
what type implant projection is used.
As another example, if you have a a droopy where
the nipple hangs over the fold, you will likely have a crease (temporary or permanent)
above the new lower fold after surgery. Since an implant requires that your existing
breast fold must be lower (so that the implant is not too high and the nipple is centered on
the implant), your lifelong lower fold skin crease may take a while to go away after
surgery.
Or in some cases, this skin crease may not completely go away at all. As a final
example, slight asymmetries between the breasts (while maybe small and unnoticeable before
surgery) may become accentuated as the breasts get larger. This can affect the symmetry of the
horizontal level of the nipples or the horizontal level of the lower fold.
It is critically important for every patient to take a critical assessment of their breasts
before augmentation surgery with their plastic surgeon at the time of their consultation.
Besides noting differences, it is also important to have a realistic assessment of what
the final
breast shape may be.
Discuss with your plastic surgeon what you like about the
shapes you have viewed and whether your breasts will have that final look. implants make
the bigger but your chest skin, nipple shape and position, width, and the level
of the lower fold are far more important to the final shape than the surgical
technique used to place them.
