A Shift Toward Subtle, Personalized Enhancements
Today’s Patients Want More Than Size
Modern breast augmentation isn’t about going as big as possible; it’s about balance, proportion, and fitting the patient’s unique goals. At Peterson MD in Kelowna, we take a highly personalized approach, helping patients choose the right implant size, shape, and placement to achieve a look that feels natural and confident.
Less Volume, More Versatility
The trend is moving toward smaller-volume implants with subtle projection and teardrop shapes that mimic natural breast contours. These options are especially popular among patients seeking enhancement without an exaggerated or artificial appearance.
What’s New in Breast Implant Options?
Improved Silicone Gel: Modern cohesive silicone implants (often called “gummy bear” implants) offer a soft, natural feel while maintaining shape and durability.
Low-Profile & Anatomical Shapes: These implants offer gentle slopes and realistic contours, reducing upper pole fullness for a softer look.
Fat Grafting (in select cases): While not a full replacement for implants, fat transfer can be used to refine contours or enhance symmetry in conjunction with implant placement.
Behind the Muscle or Above?
More surgeons are revisiting subfascial or dual-plane placement, combining the support of muscle with the flexibility of soft tissue positioning. This technique can provide natural movement and a smoother transition at the upper breast.
Minimally Invasive Techniques & Shorter Recovery
New surgical approaches, such as precise implant pocket dissection and smaller incisions, contribute to a more comfortable recovery and better control over final implant position. Most patients return to light activity within a week and resume full routines within 4–6 weeks.
Combining with Other Procedures
Some patients opt for augmentation combined with a breast lift to address both volume and skin laxity — especially after weight loss or pregnancy. Others may combine augmentation with liposuction for an overall balanced result.
