Wearing padded bras and improving your posture can enhance your cup size but if you are unhappy with the size or shape of your breasts, a breast augmentation will increase your breast size. Also called breast augmentation, breast implant surgery is a procedure to insert breast implants under your chest muscles or breast tissue. The safest way to approach the process is to work with an experienced cosmetic surgeon who can give you guidance on the right implant size and shape for your body proportions. In this article, we will outline how to increase breast size using implants.
Why Breast Implant Surgery Is Done?
Breast augmentations can be done for a number of reasons, the most common of which is to increase breast size. Some of the other reasons women consider this type of surgery include
- To correct the asymmetry of the breasts
- To change the shape of the breasts
- To add volume to the breasts or change the appearance of your cleavage
- To reconstruct the breasts after a mastectomy
- To improve body image and self-confidence
Changing The Position Of Your Breasts
It’s important to note that breast implants alone will not change the position of your breasts. As you get older, you lose volume in your breast tissue as well as elasticity in your skin. The loss of elasticity is what causes the breasts to sag. If you want to change the position of your breasts, you would need to have a breast lift, which is a different procedure. It is possible to combine breast implant surgery with a breast lift.
How To Increase Breast Size: Factors That Influence Breast Size
If you are dissatisfied with your breasts and want to change their appearance, breast implants could be an option. There aren’t currently any natural or non-invasive ways to drastically change breast size. The size and shape of your breasts are primarily determined by
- Genetics
- Body weight
- Hormones
- Your stage of life
While strength exercises that target the chest may be able to improve muscle tone to an extent, your pectoral muscles are located below your breast tissue. Although they are recommended for overall toning, strength exercises will not necessarily have a bearing on your cup size. If you want to increase your cup size to a specific size or would like to increase the volume of your breasts, breast augmentation should be considered.
How To Increase Breast Size: Determining Your Wants And Needs
While large breast implants may have been fashionable at a time, they do not suit every frame and body type. And, if you are naturally small-chested, you may be curious about having much larger breasts. It’s important to take note that your implants need to work for your lifestyle, and stage of life, and complement your body shape.
Working with an experienced cosmetic surgeon is a major component of finding that balance between wants and needs. Your surgeon should guide you in finding an implant size that complements your proportions.
Increasing Breast Size With Different Types Of Breast Implants
Before your breast implant surgery, you will have a choice between saline and silicone breast implants. Both implant types are contained in a silicone implant structure, but they differ in terms of their contents. Both implant types are available in various sizes.
- Silicone implants tend to feel more natural and closer to breast tissue.
- Saline implants are filled with saline solution and tend to be firmer to the touch.
You will also be asked to choose what shape of breast implant you want. The most basic shapes are round and teardrop. Teardrop implants have more volume at the bottom, while round implants give you bigger cleavage. While round implants are more voluminous, some women consider the teardrop shape to be more natural-looking.
Making An Informed Decision
Having breast implant surgery is a major decision and not something to be taken lightly. It’s a good idea to try on imitation implants to get a sense of what feels right for you and so you can see what suits your body type.
Choosing the right size and shape shouldn’t be rushed so ask as many questions as you need to, and take the time to think about what’s going to work for you over the long term.
How Long Does It Take To Recover From Breast Augmentation?
Most women need two to four weeks to recover after breast implants. There will be some bruising and swelling after your procedure. By around four weeks after your surgery, your new breasts should look and feel more natural, and you should be able to resume your regular activities.
Your recovery after breast augmentation is largely dependent on your state of health before the surgery, and the extent to which you are able to relax and heal. Following your surgeon’s instructions before and after surgery can help you to enjoy a speedy recovery timeline.
Breast implants can enhance your self-confidence and body image when the procedure is well-planned and carried out by an experienced surgeon. To have a discussion about how to increase breast size, and your possible options, please contact us for a confidential appointment: (02) 8599 7161.
