Many women who would benefit from breast implants to address asymmetry or enhance their curves hesitate to pursue surgery because they worry the outcome won’t live up to their expectations. Fortunately, advancements in surgical techniques and implant technology enable skilled surgeons to achieve results that complement your unique body type and blend seamlessly with your natural features. Whether you seek subtle refinement or a more dramatic transformation, Dr. Ryan Stanton can help you feel confident and authentically you.

What Constitutes a Natural-Looking Breast Augmentation?

Achieving harmonious proportions requires a carefully balanced approach tailored to your aesthetic goals. Every detail creates results that look, feel, and move naturally, aligned with your body’s unique structure.

• Size and proportion: Dr. Stanton will help you choose a size that complements your frame.
• Implant material and shape: Teardrop-shaped implants closely mimic your breasts’ natural slope, creating a soft, realistic contour.
• Placement: Positioning the implant above or below your chest muscles affects integration with your body tissue.
• Surgical expertise: Beyond the technical choices, your surgeon’s skill is paramount. Precise incisions and techniques ensure refinement.

How to Select an Implant Size

Achieving a natural-looking breast augmentation is all about balance – considering how factors like implant type and placement will complement your appearance. Bigger isn’t always better with breast augmentation. Choosing an implant size that matches your body type ensures a balanced, natural look and prevents potential discomfort.

Overly large implants may strain your back and shoulders, leading to postural concerns or even the need for future corrective procedures like a breast lift. On the other hand, selecting implants that are too small may leave you with a less dramatic outcome than you expected. The secret is balance – an implant size that suits your proportions while achieving your desired aesthetic.

Comparing Saline vs. Silicone and Round vs. Teardrop Implants

Your choice of implant material and shape will impact your breasts’ texture and appearance.

• Silicone offers a soft, realistic feel, closely mimicking natural breast tissue.
• Saline allows for smaller incisions but may feel firmer and is more prone to visible rippling, particularly in slimmer women.
• Teardrop-shaped implants replicate natural breast contours, creating a refined, subtle enhancement.
• Round implants offer balanced fullness, particularly at the top, settling naturally over time and providing more cleavage without sacrificing a smooth appearance.

When you partner with Dr. Stanton, a breast augmentation specialist, he will walk you through these options and explain how to tailor them to fit your frame.

How Implant Placement Affects Your Results

Implant placement is another decision you’ll need to make in collaboration with Dr. Stanton. Consider which of these will lead to a natural-looking enhancement that complements your anatomy and cosmetic objectives.

• Above the chest muscle (subglandular): Ideal for people with sufficient existing breast tissue, offering a softer, more natural integration with less discomfort during recovery.
• Below the chest muscle (submuscular): Creates a gentle, natural slope, particularly for women with minimal tissue.

Breast Augmentation With Fat Grafting

Autologous breast enhancement with fat grafting is an alternative to traditional implants, using “donor” fat taken from elsewhere on your body to refine shape, enhance volume, and improve symmetry. This technique involves harvesting fat cells via liposuction, purifying them, then injecting the fat into your breasts. Since the transferred fat cells will establish a blood supply and integrate with your existing breast tissue, your results will feel soft, proportionate, and organic – without introducing synthetic materials into your body.

Beyond aesthetic improvements, fat grafting provides additional benefits, such as body sculpting in the donor areas and no risk of rejection. While your body will absorb some of the transferred fat, the remaining volume will offer a subtle, long-lasting enhancement.
