Breast BEFORE & AFTER Patient 184: Breast Augmentation
*Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.
Before & After
A 29-year-old female patient underwent breast augmentation with Dr. Crantford at Crantford Costa Plastic Surgery in Charleston, South Carolina, to enhance breast volume and achieve fuller, more balanced proportions. Motiva RSD 380cc implants were selected to complement the patient’s body frame and desired aesthetic outcome, providing increased upper pole fullness and improved overall breast shape while maintaining a natural appearance. Photos are shown at 7 weeks post-op.
Round implants like the Motiva RSD used in this case are a common choice for patients seeking fuller upper pole volume and a more traditional augmented silhouette, in contrast to the softer slope produced by anatomically shaped implants. Dr. Crantford selects implant shape and profile based on each patient’s goals for fullness and projection. Results at 7 weeks post-op already show improved volume and symmetry, with the breasts expected to continue settling into a softer, more natural position over the following months.
What is the difference between round and teardrop-shaped breast implants?
Round implants, like the Motiva RSD style used in this case, tend to provide more upper pole fullness and a fuller look throughout the breast, while teardrop-shaped implants create a more gradually sloped, natural contour. The right choice depends on the patient’s existing tissue, chest anatomy, and desired look.
How soon will breast augmentation results look natural?
Initial swelling can make the breasts look firmer and sit slightly higher immediately after surgery. Over the following weeks and months, the implants gradually settle into a softer, more natural position as swelling resolves and the surrounding tissue relaxes.
