Breast Augmentation and Body Shape

    PHOENIX, AZ, May 31, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The decision to have breast augmentation is a big one. When you visit your plastic surgeon to discuss breast augmentation, your aesthetic goals should be of primary concern. However, it is important to remember that while your desires will play a role in the breast augmentation options your plastic surgeon chooses, so too will your body type. To produce natural-looking results, your plastic surgeon will need to pay close attention to your anatomical features and customize a breast augmentation procedure that compliments your entire frame.

Body Type Considerations

Every woman has unique curves and dimensions. Due to this, every breast augmentation procedure must be customized to enhance an individual's frame. This means that there is no single combination of breast augmentation options that will ideally suit every woman.

General body type considerations that will need to be made include:

- Weight
- Height
- Chest size
- Amount of natural breast tissue
- Level of ptosis (sagging and drooping)
- Symmetry
- Breast size in proportion to anatomical features

All of these factors will play a role in determining the breast augmentation options most likely to provide stunning results. For example, women with slighter frames may benefit more from silicone implants placed under the muscles in the chest. This is because women with smaller frames tend to have less natural breast tissue that can be used to cover an implant. Fuller figured women may be able to have their implants placed above the chest muscles, but this is dependent on the amount of breast tissue present and determined on a case by case basis.

There is no single solution for every body type. When selecting a breast augmentation surgeon, be sure to choose someone who is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. It is also important that he has sufficient experience and offers a before and after gallery where you can view his breast augmentation results on women of various shapes and sizes. Your breast augmentation procedure needs to be tailored to your body type. Working with a plastic surgeon who treats you with individual attention and care is the first step in ensuring good looking results.
