Why natural-looking breast augmentation matters 

Breast augmentation is a personal decision, and each woman has her own reasons for wanting to undergo the procedure. For example, some people have a flat chest or asymmetrical breasts. However, one common goal that many women share is achieving realistic outcomes. 

Natural-looking breast augmentation means that the result looks like it belongs on your body. It should enhance your overall appearance without looking obviously "fake" or disproportionate. The good news is that modern techniques and devices like saline or silicone implants are making this goal more achievable than ever. 

Comparing saline vs silicone implants 

So, how do you compare saline vs silicone implants? Here are some key points to consider:  

• Appearance: Many women prefer the appearance of silicone implants because they tend to look and feel more like natural breasts. Saline implants can sometimes have a slightly firmer, rounder shape. 
• Incision size: Silicone implants require larger incisions because they come pre-filled from the manufacturer, while saline implants are inserted empty and filled once in place. This means that saline implants result in less visible scarring. 
• Rupture detection: If a saline implant breaks, it will usually deflate quickly and visibly, allowing for easy detection. Silicone implants can also rupture, but the signs may not be as obvious. Regular MRIs are recommended to check for silent ruptures. 

What about breast projection? 

Breast projection is an important factor in achieving natural-looking results after breast augmentation in Riverside, CA. Projection refers to how far the breasts protrude from the chest wall, and it's determined by the size and shape of the implant used. 

To achieve a natural projection, Dr. Childers will consider several factors such as your body frame, existing breast tissue, and desired cup size. We may also use techniques such as placing the implants partially under the chest muscles or using anatomically shaped implants to achieve a better look. 

Viewing breast augmentation before and after photos 

One of the best ways to set clear expectations and visualize potential results is by reviewing breast augmentation before and after photos. At Riverside Plastic Surgery, we are happy to provide these images during a consultation. You can browse through different body types, incision locations, and implant sizes to get an idea of what to expect. These photos can also help you communicate your desired results and make necessary adjustments before surgery.
