Can Breast Implants Look Natural?

One of the most common concerns women have about breast augmentation is whether the results will look natural. The answer is yes—breast implants can look very natural when the right surgical techniques, implant choices, and patient factors are considered. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. David Kim performs breast augmentation for patients in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, CA, and surrounding locations.

Factors That Affect Natural-Looking Results

1. Implant Size
Choosing implants that complement your body frame and proportions is key. Oversized implants may look artificial, while appropriately sized implants create a balanced look.

2. Implant Profile
Moderate-profile implants often provide the most natural projection, though your anatomy will determine the best choice.

3. Implant Placement

• Submuscular (under the muscle): Offers a more natural slope and hides implant edges.

• Subglandular (above the muscle): May look natural if enough breast tissue covers the implant.

4. Implant Type

• Silicone implants: Known for a natural feel and appearance.

• Saline implants: Can also look natural, though they may feel firmer in thinner patients.

5. Surgical Technique
A skilled, board-certified surgeon will place implants in a way that blends seamlessly with your anatomy.

Tips for Achieving Natural Results

• Choose a surgeon who specializes in natural-looking augmentations.

• Bring reference photos to your consultation.

• Be realistic about size and proportion goals.
