5 Techniques to Help Breast Augmentation Look Natural

Breast augmentation is one of the most requested cosmetic surgeries, but many women share a common concern: how to ensure their results look natural and balanced. At Krummen Plastic Surgery, Dr. Donna Krummen brings over two decades of surgical experience to each procedure, helping patients in Cincinnati achieve results that align with their body proportions and personal goals. Her extensive training and recognition as one of Cincinnati’s top doctors underscore her commitment to safety, precision, and artistry.

1. Choosing the Right Implant Type

Implant selection plays a major role in how natural the final outcome appears. Silicone implants, including cohesive “gummy bear” styles, tend to feel closer to natural breast tissue compared to saline. During your consultation, Dr. Krummen discusses implant options and recommends the best choice based on your body type and desired result.

2. Selecting the Appropriate Size and Shape

A common mistake with breast augmentation is choosing an implant size that overwhelms the frame. Dr. Krummen carefully evaluates chest width, shoulder proportions, and skin elasticity to recommend an implant size that enhances the figure without looking artificial. Additionally, round and anatomically shaped implants offer various profiles, enabling further customization for a natural-looking contour.

3. Considering Implant Placement

Where the implant is placed makes a significant difference in appearance. Submuscular placement, beneath the chest muscle, often provides a more gradual slope and reduces the chance of visible implant edges. This technique helps achieve a softer, more natural transition from the chest wall to the breast.

4. Assessing Skin and Tissue Quality

Every patient’s tissue characteristics are unique. Women with thinner breast tissue may benefit from specific implant choices or surgical techniques that reduce visibility and rippling. Dr. Krummen’s approach ensures that the final result blends seamlessly with the patient’s natural anatomy.

5. Combining With a Breast Lift

For women experiencing sagging due to age, pregnancy, or weight changes, a breast lift may be recommended in combination with augmentation. This approach not only restores volume but also repositions the breast for a more youthful and natural look.

Trusted Experience Matters

Achieving natural results requires more than just surgical skill — it also takes an experienced eye for balance and proportion. Dr. Donna Krummen’s board certification, surgical expertise, and patient-focused approach provide the foundation for safe, beautiful outcomes.
