Is it possible to have a proportionate result from breast implants?
Fortunately, the answer is yes. There are a number of ways a fully qualified plastic surgeon can achieve this look. The biggest determinant is the size of the implant the patient chooses. Regardless of technique if the implant is too big for the body frame it will look disproportionate. Generally speaking, an implant placed under the pectoral muscle may give a more subtle result compared to on top of the muscle. Similarly, for any given single volume of an implant, a teardrop or anatomical shaped implant, which has firmer gel inside, can shape the breast tissue to a greater extent than round implants.
The above is a 25-29 year old – 430 cc teardrop sub-pectoral implants.
The best piece of advice, in order to achieve a proportionate look, is to pick a modest size implant.
In summary, an implant under the muscle of a modest size may give the most proportionate result possible.
