Year after year, breast augmentation remains one of the top plastic surgery procedures in America. It may be best known for bumping you up a cup size or two, but that isn’t the only benefit the procedure has to offer. Breast augmentation with implants helps our Lexington, KY, patients improve their entire appearance for the better. By balancing your shape and enhancing overall symmetry, the surgery can affect the whole body from head to toe.
Want to know more about how your body will change after breast augmentation? In this blog post, we will discuss a few benefits you can expect from the procedure.
#1. It balances out your proportions.
Creating beautiful curves with breast implants is all about adding volume in the right places. If you have naturally smaller breasts, enhancing their size can make them match the rest of your body. Larger breasts can often bring your hips and shoulders into proportion and give you that coveted hourglass shape. But remember: Bigger isn’t always better. Our team will help you find the right implant size, profile, and placement to create the perfect curve-enhancing effect.

#2. It makes your tummy look more toned.
Larger, lifted breasts provide a more distinct contrast between the chest and the midsection. This makes your waist and abdomen look smaller and slimmer compared with the upper half of your body. Many women include a tummy tuck with their breast augmentation to enhance this effect. If you struggle with loose skin and excess fat around the midsection, consider adding body contouring to your breast enhancement procedure.

#3. It improves the look and shape of breasts after breastfeeding.
Once milk production ends, breasts often lose the full, rounded look they once had. The skin may stretch during pregnancy, and as the breasts shrink back down, that extra skin can make them look saggy or “deflated.” While a breast lift is the best option for tightening stretched-out skin, breast augmentation directly addresses the issue of lost volume.
By placing implants, your surgeon can restore fullness to the upper pole of the breast (the area that creates cleavage) and recreate a youthful, perky shape. This often makes the breasts look very similar to how they appeared before pregnancy and breastfeeding. For mothers who want a more dramatic transformation, combining breast augmentation with a breast lift can both add volume and reposition the breasts higher on the chest wall for a firmer, more lifted appearance. Together, these procedures can help you restore your curves or feel even more confident than before.

#4. It corrects any preexisting asymmetry issues.
Breast asymmetry (when one breast is sized or shaped differently from the other) is more common than you may think. In fact, most women have some degree of asymmetry, though for some it’s more noticeable than others. Even subtle unevenness can make shopping for bras and swimsuits frustrating, and it can affect how your clothing fits overall.
Breast augmentation is one of the most effective ways to create better balance. Your surgeon can use implants to match the smaller breast to the larger one, or choose different implant sizes for each side to even out the proportions. This customization not only improves symmetry but also helps create a more harmonious figure overall. For women who have lived with uneven breasts for years, this change can feel like a huge confidence boost, both in how they look and in how they feel in their own skin.
