What Is a Small Breast Augmentation?
A small breast augmentation is a subtle, refined approach to enhancing breast size and shape. Instead of a dramatic volume increase, this procedure focuses on natural-looking, proportional enhancements that complement your frame while maintaining elegance and balance. Patients who opt for a small breast augmentation typically desire a modest boost in fullness, improved symmetry, or a more youthful contour without an exaggerated appearance.
Benefits of Small Breast Augmentation:
- Natural-looking enhancement that aligns with your body’s proportions
- Improved breast shape and symmetry for a balanced, harmonious silhouette
- Boosted confidence with subtle, elegant results
- Minimized discomfort and recovery time compared to larger augmentations
- More conservative implant sizes or fat transfer for a gentle refinement
This approach is ideal for those who want subtle enhancement without sacrificing natural movement or aesthetic harmony. I tailor every procedure to fit your individual goals, ensuring results that enhance your beauty and overall confidence.

Why You Might Consider a Small Breast Augmentation
You might consider small breast augmentation if you feel your breasts are slightly smaller than you’d like in proportion to your body, have subtle asymmetry, or have experienced natural volume loss due to aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations.
This procedure offers a refined, natural enhancement, providing just the right amount of shape and fullness without an exaggerated look. Whether you’re seeking a balanced silhouette or a gentle boost in confidence, small breast augmentation is a personalized option to help you feel comfortable and proud of your body.
What to Expect from a Small Breast Augmentation Consultation
During your consultation, I will take the time to understand your specific aesthetic goals and assess your unique body proportions. We’ll discuss your medical history, current medications, and any allergies to ensure a safe and effective treatment plan. My team and I will also review the potential risks and expected outcomes so that you feel fully informed and confident in your decision.
A critical part of the evaluation is examining your underlying torso shape, which plays a significant role in implant selection and surgical success. Factors, such as natural asymmetries, chest wall contours, and variations like pectus excavatum or pectus carinatum, must be carefully considered to achieve the most harmonious, natural-looking results. We will explore various implant options, including size, shape, material, and placement, to determine the safest and most effective approach for your goals. My priority is to tailor every detail of the procedure to your unique anatomy, ensuring elegant, balanced results that complement your frame.
Small Breast Augmentation Options
I tailor every small breast augmentation to match each patient’s unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. This procedure offers several options for achieving a refined, natural enhancement. Implants come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials, allowing for a subtle yet noticeable improvement in breast volume and symmetry. I may place implants either below the pectoral muscle or below the breast gland and above the muscle (subfascial) to ensure a smooth, natural contour or to achieve a fake and round look. For those seeking the most organic approach, fat transfer is an excellent alternative, using your own body fat to enhance breast shape without implants. During your consultation, we will explore each option to determine the best solution for achieving elegant, balanced results.
Implant types
Breast implants come in silicone or saline, each offering unique benefits. Silicone implants feel more natural and consist of a vicious gel, while saline implants come as an empty shell that is filled with a sterile solution, allowing for size adjustments and smaller incision. I use the latest generation six silicone gel implants, which have the least rippling of all implants.
Implant shapes and sizes
Implants are available in round or teardrop (contoured) shapes. Round implants provide fuller upper breast volume, while teardrop implants create a more natural slope.
Teardrop implants must be textured. There are long-term consequences with textured implants, so I do not use these.
Fat Transfer
For a subtle enhancement without implants, fat transfer uses your own body fat to increase breast volume and improve contour. This option may offer a soft, natural feel with no foreign materials.
How to Prepare for Your Small Breast Augmentation
Proper preparation ensures a smooth procedure and optimal recovery. Before surgery, you’ll need to complete a blood test and avoid certain medications, supplements, and vitamins that could interfere with healing. If you smoke, it’s important to quit beforehand, as smoking can affect recovery and increase surgical risks. Additionally, you should stop taking anti-inflammatory drugs or aspirin, as they may lead to excessive bleeding, and stop amphetamine-type diet or ADHD medications.
Since you won’t be able to drive home after surgery, make arrangements for a trusted relative or friend to transport you and provide support during the initial recovery period. Following these guidelines will help ensure the safest and most effective results.
Breast Augmentation Surgery
I perform small breast augmentation under general anesthesia to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. For implant-based augmentation, I make a small incision in the breast fold to create a precise pocket. The position and placement of the implants depend on your unique body type, as well as the size and shape of the implants selected. Once positioned correctly, I close the incisions with layered sutures, skin adhesive, or sutures for optimal healing. The entire surgery typically takes less than two hours. Sophisticated nerve blocks performed by anesthesia greatly diminish any pain to a minimum.
For fat transfer breast augmentation, I use liposuction to remove excess fat from another area of the body. This procedure requires only minimal incisions for fat extraction, followed by careful placement into the breasts for a natural enhancement. Like implant augmentation, fat transfer is performed under general anesthesia, ensuring a safe and seamless experience.
Small Breast Augmentation Recovery
Before you leave, my team and I will provide detailed post-operative instructions, including breast care guidelines and prescribed oral medications to support healing and comfort. In the first few days, you may experience soreness and swelling around the implant pockets. These are normal effects as your body adjusts to the procedure. Swelling will gradually subside, and your incision lines will fade over time with proper care. Recovery time varies from patient to patient, but most individuals heal fully within six weeks. My priority is to ensure a smooth recovery process, minimizing discomfort while helping you achieve optimal results.

Breast implants can last many years, while fat transfer results are more dependent on how your body absorbs the fat over time.
In most cases, yes, you can still breastfeed after a small breast augmentation. Neither the surgery nor the implants themselves will affect or disturb the breast glands or milk ducts, or the quality of the breast milk.
Yes! I focus on precise placement and proportional enhancement to ensure subtle, balanced, and natural-looking results unless you are looking for a fake look—I can achieve that too.
