Size and shape of your new breast implants matter for your personal satisfaction, but the feel of your breasts is also very important to your overall happiness with your procedure. When getting anything from a little lift or a total reconstruction, there are multiple factors at play determining the end-result feel of your implants. If a very natural feel is your ultimate goal, there are a few things to consider before your surgery. And if you have already had implants, these variables will also give you direction as to when you can expect to feel natural again and what you might do along the way to help your body get there faster.
Type of Material
Silicone implants tend to be softer than saline right from the onset. Those who get silicone implants may be more inclined to say things feel “normal” earlier than those with saline implants. Eventually saline can also feel soft, but because of the viscosity of the silicone, they have the potential to feel softer than saline even over an extended amount of time.
Sufficient Breast Tissue: Location and Ratio
Individuals who have inadequate natural breast tissue to support the implants need to have the implants placed under chest muscles to provide that coverage. This chest muscle needs to be stretched and thinned out over time to feel supple and soft like breast tissue. This process is not immediate, so the location of your implant can have a great effect on the overall feel of your new breasts when you first arrive home. The more natural breast tissue you have to start with, the more likely you will be able to mask the implant.
Patience
You choose the material, shape, and size of the final look that you want. Having healthy and realistic expectations, along with a sufficient dose of patience will go a long way toward ensuring your satisfaction with your surgery at our Lubbock facility.
Whether you are planning a single breast implant procedure or are combining it with a complete mommy makeover, Dr. Rowley will carefully listen to your cosmetic goals, so you are happy with your results. To discuss your implant choice, schedule a consultation today.

After deciding that breast implants are for you, your next decision is settling on the right size. Unlike people looking into liposuction procedures who often have the belief that smaller is better, those seeking breast implants may or may not think that bigger is better. With the introduction of breast implants this was a common view; however, smaller implants are becoming more and more popular. So, why is bigger not always better?
A More Natural Look and Feel
Larger implants tend to draw more attention and are often identifiable as implants. A smaller implant would mean filling out your clothes comfortably and adding definition to shape without calling excessive attention to your chest.
Your Medium is My Large
Bigger or smaller aren’t always the same in comparison with others because each body type merits an individual approach in determining what looks good and what doesn’t. Dr. Rowley will carefully give you the attention you need at your evaluation appointment to discuss size and all of the facets associated with that conversation, including shape. Finding a tailored fit for your body is incredibly important because something that looks good and natural on one person can look excessive and unnatural on another.
Too Much of a Good Thing
Getting breast implants does more than impact your appearance, it also impacts your lifestyle and ability to move. When weight is removed through liposuction, people often find that movement and exercise are much easier. Breast implants, however, add weight to your body and change your balance. Aerobic activities can be a bit tricky with larger breasts, and active individuals may find that while their new, larger breasts look great in a dress, they don’t feel great on the treadmill.
There Is No “big” or “small,” There Is Only “Just Right”
Ultimately, you need to get the breasts implants that you want. Most people who have a healthy self-image and realistic expectations of this procedure find that they are incredibly happy with their results. Women who get larger implants at the recommendation of a friend often find themselves eventually unhappy and returning for additional procedures to reduce the size of the implants. So do what makes you happy and love your body, because you’re beautiful!

Women in Lubbock see the world through individual preferences and tastes. What one person thinks is perfect doesn’t accurately reflect the likes and dislikes of the next person. When you are discussing the ideal breast size, even though people have their opinions, consider a study published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery® that found most people prefer breasts with 45% of their fullness above the nipple line and 55% below the line. Participants also said they like a more natural, teardrop shape.
What Affects Your Breast Size and Shape?
Genetics is the biggest factor in determining your breast size and shape. Genes from both your parents influence your breasts’ hormone levels, tissue density, shape, and skin tone.
The aging process happens whether we like it or not. You can’t fight the ticking of the clock or the effect of gravity over time. The Cooper ligaments in your breasts are bands of tissue that hold your breast structure and tissue in place. These aren’t true ligaments that are connected to bone so over time they can become stretched like overworked rubber bands. This stretching will eventually cause breasts to have a saggy or droopy appearance.
Weight can affect your breasts. A portion of your breast tissue is fat. You can understand why your breasts will expand when your waistline does. If your breast composition has large amounts of fat, your breasts sag when you lose significant amounts of weight.
Some life choices have a greater influence on our breasts’ appearance than others. Pregnancy and breastfeeding have a much more significant effect on our bust than exercise does. And a healthier lifestyle supports your skin elasticity, muscle tone, and weight consistency.
