In search of the<br />
perfect breasts,<br />
it appears many<br />
women are ditching<br />
the ‘bigger is<br />
better’ attitude<br />
for smaller, more<br />
natural-looking<br />
implants.<br />
From the robust bodies and smaller breasts revered in<br />
the Renaissance period to the thin and flat-chested<br />
‘Twiggy’-inspired beauty in the 60s to the gravitydefying<br />
breasts of the 1990s and early 2000s, feminine<br />
curves have crept in and out of fashion over the past<br />
century like an item of clothing. And 2016 is no exception.<br />
Smaller breasts are making a big comeback. Surgeons<br />
are seeing a shift in the look many breast augmentation<br />
patients are asking for, away from the round, prominent<br />
oversized breast towards something more in keeping<br />
with their natural shape, to balance their figure rather than<br />
dominate their appearance.<br />
5 factors for<br />
natural-looking<br />
breasts<br />

A<br />
gentle slope from the shoulder<br />
to the peak of the breast at the<br />
nipple (roundness at the top of<br />
the breast is an implant giveaway)<br />
Why the shift?<br />
Whether they have lost volume from having children and<br />
just want to restore their breast shape and size, or simply<br />
want to get rid of their padded bras without significant<br />
change in their appearance in clothes and in the workplace,<br />
women are increasingly moving away from the ‘bigger is<br />
better’ attitude when it comes to breast augmentation<br />
surgery. The trend has shifted from the prominent to the<br />
au naturel look.<br />
Changing body ideals and our culture’s increased<br />
focus on fitness could well be fuelling this trend. Female<br />
participation in sports and fitness programs is on the rise,<br />
and alongside this many women are feeling that large<br />
breasts may interfere with their active lifestyle and prefer<br />
smaller implants for a more fit, athletic look. Indeed,<br />
disproportionately large breasts can also cause neck,<br />
shoulder and back problems.<br />

of the breast mound and tilted<br />

of the chest wall<br />
