Fake Boobs: Who Wants ‘Em?
Who wants fake looking boobs?
Well, to be honest, some women like the obvious “I’ve got implants” look. But most candidates we meet seeking breast augmentation in New York ask about how to ensure their results look nice but don’t cause whiplash and gaping mouths on the streets of Manhattan. They may not recognize exactly why some women’s breasts look so unnatural, but still they can spot them a mile away. And they don’t want any part of that look!
Here are just a few reasons augmented breasts can end up looking like Mother Nature had no hand in them:
• They are out of position. When working with an inexperienced cosmetic surgeon, some women end up with breasts too high on the chest wall. In other cases, they can be too far apart, creating a strange gap in between. Even worse, they can be too close together–or even touching, a condition known as “kissing implants” or “uniboob” (and medically known as symmastia).
• Their shape isn’t natural. Some breast augmentation procedures and implants yield ultra round looking results. When implants aren’t chosen carefully to fit a patient’s frame and breast pockets aren’t formed properly, a too-round shape with no natural slope can result in the old “rubber balls on a board” appearance. It screams “fake.”
• They are just too big. Implants that are out of proportion with the rest of the body most often appear fake, no matter how skilled a surgeon may be. But there can be other problems with oversized implants that make the situation worse. Some women’s breasts spill over to the side, for the giveaway “side boob” look. In addition, when women go too large the skin may not accommodate the implants well, leaving skin looking stretched and/or breasts puckered and rippled. Furthermore, over time heavy breasts sag much more as gravity takes it’s inevitable toll.
We work very closely with our New York breast augmentation patients to make sure none of this happens! Here are some of the aspects of breast enlargement we discuss:
• Size and proportion: To look most natural, breast implant size should harmonize with the patient’s overall body shape and size. Specifically, we aim for about a 50/50 ratio between natural breast tissue and implant volume.
• Body features: When choosing breast implants, it’s vital to take into account a woman’s overall frame and individual body features. Ribcage size and shape is especially important, as the plastic surgeon must compensate for a chest with a concave shape (pectus excavatum) or one that protrudes (pectus carinatum).
• Lifestyle: A patient’s favorite activities can influence breast augmentation in a variety of ways. Most women who are quite active do not want large implants that may not look or feel right during vigorous exercise. What’s more, implant placement may need to be adjusted for certain activities such as bodybuilding.
Every year, breast augmentation is at or very near the top of the popularity list for cosmetic surgery in the United States. Even though this means most cosmetic surgeons perform many breast enhancement surgeries annually, that doesn’t mean the procedure should be viewed as routine. Each breast surgery should be as unique as the woman it’s designed for. If you’re considering breast augmentation, be sure you don’t feel your plastic surgeon candidate is taking a cookie cutter approach.
