Breast Augmentation Isn’t About “Going Bigger” — It’s About Balance

The Biggest Myth About Breast Augmentation

Patients often start by asking for a specific cup size. But bra sizes aren’t standardized — and the most beautiful results are based on proportion, not numbers.

Dr. Shaun Parson focuses on creating results that look natural in clothing, swimsuits, and everyday life.

The 4 Factors That Determine Implant Choice

1. Chest Width
Implants should match your frame.

2. Skin Elasticity
Tighter skin responds differently than looser tissue.

3. Lifestyle
Athletic vs more dramatic goals.

4. Desired Upper Pole Fullness
Subtle slope vs fuller contour.

Understanding Implant Profiles

Low → gentle slope
Moderate → natural balance
High → more fullness on top

This affects how the implant projects — not just size.

Why “Going Too Big” Can Backfire

Oversizing can lead to:

• Stretching

• Visible edges

• Future sagging

The goal is longevity, not just immediate impact.
