Today’s breast augmentation trends have shifted toward results that look softer, subtler, and more in harmony with the body’s natural proportions and women’s active lifestyles. The phrases “yoga boobs” and “ballerina breasts” reflect this shift as women prefer breast enhancement that feels authentic to their frame and lifestyle rather than obviously augmented.
Why Do Some Women Want Smaller Implants?
The increased popularity of small-volume breast augmentation stems from several factors. Throughout my career, I’ve performed more than 3,000 unique breast enhancement surgeries, and I’ve learned a lot about the nuanced aesthetics of the breasts. In addition to simply wanting smaller breasts for aesthetic reasons, women also cite healthy, active living as a major motivator for choosing more discreet implants.
Although breast augmentation and breast reduction are 2 very distinct surgical procedures with seemingly opposite outcomes, these 2 patient populations share many of the same concerns, especially when it comes to their lifestyles after surgery.
Breast reduction patients often say they want smaller breasts so they can more comfortably engage in physical activities, from swimming and running to hiking and more. Many women with large breasts often shy away from activities when their shape makes it difficult to find appropriate clothing or if their large breasts make participation uncomfortable or even painful.
On the other hand, breast augmentation patients are used to participating unencumbered in many activities, so they are often concerned whether breast augmentation will impact their favorite activities.
The good news is that there is a balance for both sets of patients. It’s about finding the “sweet spot” for voluptuous, well-proportioned breasts tailored to each patient’s unique measurements and contours.
Results Tailored to Your Goals
Of course, the ultra-natural, discreet look isn’t for everyone. Above all, every woman is different when it comes to her desired results. While there is certainly a trend toward smaller breasts, it’s by no means an absolute. I still see many women in my office who want larger implants and a more pronounced hourglass figure.
In our gallery of before-and-after photos, you can view a wide variety of cases. Each woman’s body is different, and the “after” photos are just as diverse as the “before.” You can visualize how I helped bring each woman’s goals to life. Variations in shape, position, and projection can be as easily appreciated as variations in size.
Here are some cases we selected that demonstrate the more natural-looking results that can be achieved with breast implants:

This lovely lady wanted perkier and larger breasts to nicely round out her athletic body. Her breast augmentation resulted in larger and beautifully shaped breasts that fit her frame and add a feminine touch to her sculpted body.
