Silicone Breast Implants vs Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation
Flat breasts, small breasts, wide-set breasts, firm breasts, and breasts that are out of proportion or uneven are common concerns, because clothes may not look as flattering as you would like, especially bikinis, strappy tops or figure-hugging outfits.
What Shape Are Your Breasts?
- Round. This shape has equal fullness in the upper and lower parts of the breast, with tissue at the top and at the base. It keeps its shape in clothes, in a bra or without a bra.
- Teardrop. This is another shape that many people find attractive. The upper breast has less fullness, but the lower part is balanced. Even without a bra, with only nipple covers, this shape can look attractive.
- Bell-shaped. The upper slope is almost flat, with fullness in the middle of the breast that narrows towards the base. This shape tends towards sagging, similar to a tea bag, and without a supportive bra the space between the breasts is clearly visible, which is also called wide-set breasts.
- Slim. This shape is almost flat, with very little breast tissue. Many women worry about it because they may not feel confident in their clothes.
- Wide-set. Although there is breast tissue, the breasts point outwards to the sides, which leaves a wide gap between them. Bra choice is limited to push-up bras that bring the breasts together, so with a stick-on bra or nipple covers, many people worry that the gap will still show.
- Pointed outwards. Although the breasts are shapely with good tissue, the nipples clearly point outwards to the sides, so tight-fitting clothes, thin fashion fabrics or revealing outfits may not look the way you want, because the nipples can be seen pointing sideways.
- Asymmetrical. The breasts are different shapes, or both breasts are different sizes.
- Sagging. The breasts droop with gravity, which means they have to be lifted up. Stick-on bras or nipple covers are very difficult to wear because they cannot lift the breasts into shape.
Breast Concerns Can Be Addressed With a More Balanced Shape
