Breast augmentation can be especially transformative for petite patients, but achieving natural, balanced results requires careful planning. Smaller frames present unique anatomical considerations that influence implant selection, placement, and long-term outcomes. Board-certified female plastic surgeon Dr. Farah Naz Khan provides breast augmentation to patients in Dallas, Plano, Texas, and surrounding communities.
Why Petite Patients Require a Customized Approach
Petite patients typically have narrower chests, smaller breast bases, and less soft tissue coverage. Choosing implants without accounting for these factors can lead to an overdone look or future complications.
A customized plan ensures enhancement that complements a smaller frame rather than overpowering it.
Choosing the Right Implant Size
For petite patients, implant size is guided more by chest width and proportions than by desired cup size. Oversized implants can extend too far toward the arms or place excess strain on the skin.
Moderate implant volumes often create the most flattering and timeless results on a petite body.
Implant Profile and Projection
Implant profile plays a critical role in petite augmentation. Higher-profile implants can provide forward projection without increasing width, which may be beneficial for narrow chests.
Your surgeon will balance profile and volume to avoid excessive fullness or unnatural contours.
Implant Placement Considerations
Under-the-muscle placement is commonly recommended for petite patients with limited natural breast tissue. This placement provides additional soft tissue coverage and reduces the risk of visible rippling.
Long-Term Results and Comfort
Careful planning helps ensure results that remain comfortable and proportional as the body changes over time. Petite patients often benefit most from conservative, anatomy-driven decisions.
