As the society becomes more image conscious, the quest for the “aesthetically perfect breast” has escalated”. Whilst there is individual preferences regarding sizes and shapes, there is however no uniform agreement on what constitute an aesthetically perfect breasts.

Recent articles in the Journal of Plastic And Reconstructive Surgery has shown that the perception of what is considered as attractive and desirable by women has changed over the last ten years and there is significant differences in the aesthetic perception between what the surgeons and potential augmentation candidates consider as attractive.

These observations are due to the media influence and publicity from celebrities with their push up bra look. As a result, the look that most women request nowadays tends to steer towards a fuller upper part of the breast. It is important that you convey your preference to your surgeon and ensure that they understands your aesthetics requirements.


Dr Liew noticed that all women who seek this type of surgery want some increase (in various degrees) in
“Perkiness (fullness), especially in the upper pole (chest),
Better cleavage
Enhancing the existing shape or in some cases, changing the shape
Correct droopiness (ptosis)
Dr Liew’s idea of an aesthetically attractive breast has the following criteria.

• An adequate size and shape that is in balance with the patient height , chest and body shape and size.
• Adequate fullness to the upper part of the breast with gentle curve from the upper chest to the nipple, without bulges or concavity.
• Nipple either in horizontal or slightly upturn
• The outer part of the breast should cover the ribcage, thus accentuate the female waist line.

Enhancing the shape of the breast: beautiful breasts

Women who seek breast enlargement not only want larger and fuller breast but also BEAUTIFUL BREASTS.

Whilst some patients are blessed with a naturally good shape, where breast augmentation surgery simply involve increasing the volume. In others, Dr Liew will modify the shape of the breasts as well as increasing the volume, by an appropriately chosen implant type and size.

Perkiness/ Fullness
Almost all women who seek breast augmentation surgery not only want to increase the fullness of the breast, but also varying degree of more perkiness as well as fullness on the top part of the breasts.

Dr Liew’s principles of a perfect breast augmentation: “Artistry, Aesthetics, Symmetry and Balance”

Whilst the degree of fullness /perkiness is personal and variable between individual, it must also be imbalance and in harmony with the rest of the individual body as demonstrated by this case.

Cleavage
“I want cleavage”
Almost all patients who requested breast augmentation surgery want some degree of cleavage.

Cleavage: defined by the distance between the breasts can be enhanced by narrowing the gap between the breasts as well as increasing the fullness of the breast at the edge of the breast.

In most cases, an appropriate chosen implant type, size and specific placement of the implant can certainly enhance the cleavage in majority of women having this type of surgery. In some however, particularly those women who are extremely thin with minimal soft tissue and with widely separated breasts, a well defined cleavage will not be possible without causing the risk of implant visibility and palpability. In these patients, cleavage can only be further enhanced by a suitable bra.

Correct the droopiness
“My breast has drooped since I had kids”
“My breast had sagged since I lost some weight”
Droopiness is a common complain in a large proportion of women seeking breast augmentation surgery. A full understanding in behaviour of breast tissue, a carefully chosen size and shape implant, a careful and correct placement of implant combining with the artistry of plastic surgical skills, minor to moderate degree of droopiness can be corrected adequately with breast implants. In others, it may need to combine with a breast lift procedure.
