Breast Augmentation for Body Builders

Breast Augmentation, California

By: Christa Clark, MD

No two women are the same. So, when I perform breast augmentation at my Sacramento, CA practice, I encounter many unique challenges. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a number of body builders, and getting their breast augmentation so that it looks just right requires a certain level of experience.

For female body builders, breast augmentation requires a special attention to implant selection and placement. This is because these women generally have very little breast tissue and very well-developed pectoral muscles. What we do to ensure that breast augmentation looks natural under this special set of circumstances is recommend that smaller silicone implants be placed above the muscle. Silicone implants do not visibly ripple the way that saline implants can. Also, implants below the muscle can look odd on very muscular women and can even migrate to the side.

No matter what your body-type and lifestyle, a good plastic surgeon will try to find a way to make breast augmentation successful for you. If you’re a body builder, you should know that you can still have a breast augmentation that looks feminine and natural.
