Breast enhancement is incredibly personal; the right breast size and shape depends on your unique body symmetry, lifestyle, health profile, and so much more. The popularized history of breast augmentation creates a misconception that breast implants must be large, overly prominent, or artificial-looking. However, over the last decade, North American surgeons have seen a significant shift towards smaller breast augmentation, understated implants and more subtle breast enlargement that better matches the nuance of different body types and preferences. Choosing an experienced surgeon like Dr. de Kleer allows for breast augmentation results that are natural-looking, subtle, and proportionate to your body’s unique symmetry.
What is breast enlargement with implants?
This surgical procedure enhances your breast shape using silicone implants. Results are completely customized to your goals and can help restore breast volume following pregnancy, weight fluctuations or address asymmetry or breasts that are a smaller than desired size. During surgery, Dr. de Kleer will discretely place incisions under the breast fold, around areola, or in armpit to allow for precise implant placement behind or in front of the muscle. Each decision will be made with your surgeon’s support: silicone implants offer a softer, more natural feel.
Dr. de Kleer uses Natrelle® silicone breast implants, a trusted and FDA-approved option known for their advanced technology, safety profile, and natural look and feel. Natrelle® implants offer a wide range of shapes, sizes, and projections, allowing for highly customized results tailored to your body and goals. Their cohesive silicone gel is designed to closely mimic natural breast tissue, providing long-lasting, beautiful results with a soft, natural appearance.

Smaller breast implants provide a myriad of benefits
As beauty standards change, we see our patients’ requests expand to apply to a wide range of desired goals, shapes, and lifestyles. Some of our mature patients who received breast implants in their 20s and 30s come in seeking a return to a more natural, subtle silhouette closer to their original breast size. Conversely, many new augmentation patients often desire a natural-looking, modest enhancement; typically one to two cup sizes larger than their current size. For some, a breast lift or more significant transformation is desired. The right implant size depends on your chest width, tissue characteristics, lifestyle, and desired results. We encourage you to bring in reference photos that reflect the breast shape you’re envisioning. Our thoughtful team can help create a surgical plan that matches what’s right for you.
Smaller breast augmentation can enhance confidence while still allowing your to maintain your active lifestyle
For women who enjoy running, yoga, strength training, high-impact cardio, or who prefer the freedom of going braless or wearing lighter clothing, a subtler breast augmentation can enhance shape and fullness while maintaining comfort and mobility. The growing popularity of more moderate or smaller breast enhancement may also reflect women’s desire for confidence in professional settings and leadership roles. Dr. de Kleer brings extensive experience to each patient consultation, recognizing that your health, concerns, and lifestyle are essential considerations when designing your breast augmentation plan. Choosing a more conservative approach can offer additional benefits: a reduced risk of complications and tissue stretching over time, as well as easier routine mammogram screening. Shaping realistic expectations means understanding the way your unique breast shape and enhancement will play into your body’s overall symmetry and beauty.
A continued rise in fat grafting breast augmentation allows patients to remove fat from where it isn’t wanted
For the right patient, fat grafting on its own or in combination with breast implants can provide a natural and effective breast improvement. By removing fat from unwanted areas like the abdomen, thighs, love handles and using it to naturally enlarge and shape fuller breasts, Dr. de Kleer can enhance the shape of your breasts with beautiful, understated results that still look like you. Fat grafting for smaller breast enhancement can add fullness to breasts that have lost volume or where you’re looking for a fuller shape. Some of the fat is absorbed over time, but fat grafting breast augmentation can have long-lasting results.
