The goal of breast augmentation surgery is to enhance the breasts, but you might be surprised to learn it’s not always about size. Lately, we’ve been seeing more patients interested in small breast implants rather than a more traditional, augmented look. You may have heard more about it on social media with terms like “ballerina breasts” or “yoga boobs.” Here’s what to know about this approach to breast augmentation and why it’s worth considering with Drs. Farber and D’Agostino at 5th Avenue Plastic Surgery.
What are Ballerina Breasts?
The term ballerina breasts refers to the typically slender, athletic, and low-profile breast appearance that ballerinas have. It may also be called “yoga boobs” or “yoga breasts.” These women tend to have more chest muscle, which results in a perkier, more sculpted look. Rather than a pronounced, curvy profile, some women want a more refined, elegant, and subtle enhancement that still allows them to be active. Although you can sometimes accomplish this look through chest exercises, you can’t grow more breast tissue this way.
Breast implants come in a wide variety of sizes, even as little as 150 to 275ccs. This approach to breast augmentation brings out your natural beauty while still providing an enhancement in breast size, making it an ideal option if you want to enhance your breasts but don’t want to see a drastic increase in size.
What are the Benefits of Ballerina Breasts?
Small breast augmentation offers many benefits over the traditional approach. Drs. Farber and D’Agostino can help you learn more during a consultation.
Balanced, Natural-Looking Results
Not every woman will appreciate having large breasts, especially if it doesn’t fit their body shape. For women who have naturally small breasts, it can be jarring and unnatural to suddenly move up multiple cup sizes. A more refined and balanced approach to breast enhancement can produce better results.
Ideal for Athletic Women
Large implants aren’t ideal for women who run, lift weights, do yoga, or live an overall active lifestyle. They can present challenges with mobility and even be more subject to complications like animation deformity. Small implants breast augmentation can give these women a boost while still allowing them to move and perform as needed.
A Whole New Aesthetic
One of the big appeals of ballerina breast augmentation is capturing the slender physique, grace, and elegance of ballerinas. Femininity comes in many forms, and a traditional breast augmentation doesn’t fit every woman. If you have a petite frame, our board-certified plastic surgeons can work with you on more proportional breast enhancement.
Lower Cost
Although it may not make a big difference to your final cost, smaller implants are generally cheaper. Larger implants require more materials and manufacturing costs, ultimately affecting their price. If you choose small implants, the impact on your final cost will likely be negligible, but it’s a small benefit nonetheless.
Fewer Complications
When it comes to certain incision patterns, implant size matters. Small breast implants can be placed through smaller incisions, reducing the chances of excess scar tissue. This can make natural breast augmentation a more appealing option for women who are concerned about complications.
