Some women are content with naturally small breasts while others desire a fuller bosom. Although there are some advantages of having small breasts – less likelihood of sagging and back pain that women with very large breasts are typically prone to – many small-breasted women dream of having curvier, larger breasts.
Their desire for voluminous breasts could stem from the need to feel more feminine, fill out their bikini tops, t-shirts, bodice dresses, and countless other wardrobe items, or to simply feel more confident of their body image and enhance their self-esteem.
Fortunately, due to developments in cosmetic surgery, women with small breasts can alter the size and appearance of their breasts to achieve the curves of their dreams with breast enhancement options. There are many types of breast augmentation surgeries, depending on the end goal. While most small breast augmentation procedures are focused on increasing the size, others are aimed at enhancing the shape or correcting the asymmetry. To further add to the mix, some women opt for breast implant surgeries that dramatically alter the appearance of their breasts while others opt for a more natural look, based on their preferences.
An interesting point to note is that even when the end goal is the same, no two breast augmentation surgeries are the same. Many factors need to be considered before deciding on the surgery and size and type of implants for breast augmentation for small breasts. Ideally every breast plastic surgery is tailored according to the natural breast size, shape, body frame, and target look in order to achieve the best individual results.
Afraid You May Not Quality for Augmentation Due to Too Small Breasts?
Many naturally small-breasted women are afraid they may not qualify for augmentation on account of having too small a breast size. However this is never the case. In fact, that’s what breast augmentation surgery is typically for – to increase the size of your breasts.
In other cases, women with small breasts are nervous about augmenting the size of their assets because they’re afraid that very large breasts would look unnatural on them. Although the fear is not unfounded, at Edelstein Cosmetic – leading breast augmentation surgeons in Toronto – we pay special attention to achieving the most natural look. Our surgeons spend a great deal of time with each patient, trying to understand their goals, while being honest about what would be the best implant size for their unique physique. In addition, we specialize in a procedure called dimensional breast augmentation to achieve the most natural looking implants (more on this later).
Hopefully, we have now put to rest a commonly raised doubt regarding whether your breasts are too small for augmentation. While it’s best to consult our qualified and experienced surgeons for specific questions about what would be the most suitable surgery option for you, Edelstein Cosmetic has compiled a general guide for small-breasted women who are considering breast augmentation surgery in Toronto.
Complement Your Body Contour with a Natural Look
For best results, we recommend thinking about the overall body proportions rather than focusing solely on the cup size. It’s also important to note that a big implant may not be required to dramatically change the breast size and shape or complement the overall figure. Depending on the patient’s existing breast size and shape, body frame (petite, medium, or large build) and the look they’re aiming for, there’s a variety of implant sizes to choose from.
Our surgeons are best qualified to answer any questions you may have about the size and type of implants best suited for you. Typically they would need to take measurements and talk to you about the exact look you’re trying to achieve before recommending the right course of action. Whether your objective is to improve your personal body image, increase your cup size, help correct unevenness in breast size or shape, or restore breasts after changes caused by aging, childbirth, breast feeding, or significant weight loss, we’ve got you covered.
Breast Implant Size for Small Frame
What is the right implant size for smaller breasts? Compared to large-breasted women, women with small breasts have less skin and tissue on the breast. Therefore, very large implants can stretch the skin, making them look artificial. In addition, they may make the breasts look unnaturally large, round, or compressed, giving an over-the-top look.
Hence, it’s best to select the appropriate size and type of breast implants in a way that increases the volume of the breasts, albeit with a natural appearance. During our initial consultation, our doctors will go over the appropriate sizes keeping in mind your body contours as well as natural and desired breast size. We also have you try implant sizers to give you a fairly accurate representation of how the implants would change your breast size.
Right Implant Projection
Even implants of the same size can provide a different look owing to the difference in forward projections – how far the implant will protrude from the chest. The farther it extends off the chest wall, the more cleavage will be visible. Small-breasted women can opt for implants with a high, moderate, or low projection depending on the width of their chest wall.
Dimensional Breast Augmentation
The one-size-fits-all approach does not render the best results when it comes to breast augmentation. Every individual has a unique combination of body contour, breast size and shape, and target appearance, which warrant a tailored approach in order to achieve the best possible outcome.
Dimensional Breast Augmentation is an innovative technique based on the measurements of your original pre-surgery body contours like height, weight, breast width, breast height, distance between nipple and breast fold, and your desired cup size. Our keenly artistic surgeons perform a highly customized surgical procedure with the predetermined implant size, type, and specific surgical technique to achieve a pleasing enhancement of the harmonious proportions of your overall body contours.
