BREAST AUGMENTATION SHOULD HARMONISE
THE BREAST AND THE BODY TO CREATE A
BEAUTIFUL, PROPORTIONATE FORM, SAYS
SYDNEY PLASTIC SURGEON DR STEVEN LIEW.
Surgical procedures and implant types have become more
advanced over the past decade. An experienced surgeon
can effectively customise breast shape and size to match the
requirements and expectations of breast surgery patients.
Sydney plastic surgeon Dr Steven Liew says most women who
are contemplating breast surgery women tend to be focussed only
on their dream cup size. But helping patients decide on the perfect
breast shape, says Dr Liew, is the single most important factor to
ensuring the best results.
‘Beautiful breasts come in many shapes and sizes. But years
of experience have taught me almost all women seeking breast
surgery have just three basic desires,’ he says. These desires are:
• A breast size in proportion with their body, giving them symmetry
and balance
• Fullness and perkiness – especially in the upper part of the
breasts
• Cleavage.
‘Once the degree of fullness on the top, side and base of the
breasts is agreed upon, the cup size and implant size are easily
determined,’ says Dr Liew. ‘It really boils down to a patient’s
preferences.’
Dr Liew says the age and personality of a patient also needs
to be considered. Younger patients tend to request a little more
fullness in the upper part of the breast. Women over 40 also want
a fuller breast, but generally opt for a more conservative approach.
‘Ultimately the best outcomes are almost always a combined
effort between the patient’s desires and the surgical skills, artistry
and aesthetic judgment of her surgeon,’ he says.
The cases shown here demonstrate Dr Liew’s approach to
creating beautiful breasts: the lower and upper part of the breasts
shaped to the ideal proportions for each patient to create the perfect
shape and fi t. csbm
