Innovative new concepts in augmentative breast surgery.
The female breast is seen as a badge of feminine beauty in our society. While it can vary over time and with fashions, the perfect breast will always be symmetrically balanced and proportionate to the rest of the body. To create an aesthetic and symmetrically balanced breast using implants to enhance them is not an easy task. Surgery must combine the concepts of an ideal breast with the desires of the patient in terms of size. The satisfactory breast should remain soft, well positioned, and mobile to respond to gravity and postural changes. In attempting to construct an "ideal breast," certain basic aesthetic anatomical proportions should be taken into account: natural positioning of the breast in the thorax; symmetry; the position of the nipple-areola complex as the focal point of the breast in the frontal view; a side profile of the breast with a natural soft fall; and, overall, the position of the new inframammary crease in the standing position, while lying down, and while moving.
