For decades, breast augmentation was synonymous with dramatic, larger-than-life implants that prioritized size over harmony. But today, many women have rethought this enhancement and chosen a gentler, more practical option – smaller implants that deliver natural-looking results, refined shape, and renewed confidence.
In Beverly Hills, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gabrielle B. Davis can help you attain subtle volume, improved symmetry, and a proportionate silhouette that matches your aesthetic preferences with small breast augmentation[1] , a cosmetic procedure designed to modestly enhance your breast size while refining shape and symmetry.
What Is Small Breast Augmentation?
For years, a “bigger-is-better” mindset drove the demand for breast augmentation, but shifting beauty norms have led more women to choose authentic-feeling enhancements. Small breast implants are a refined alternative, adding fullness that complements your natural curves instead of overpowering them.
Dr. Davis specializes in this nuanced technique, helping women achieve balanced results that feel like an elevated version of themselves. Whether you’re correcting asymmetry, restoring volume after pregnancy, or have chosen to do something that’s just for you, Dr. Davis will tailor every detail to your body and goals.
Small Implants Can Make a Big Difference
Oversized implants may draw attention, but they can also bring unintended consequences. Many women find that larger breasts complicate their everyday lives – from struggling to find well-fitting bras to experiencing chronic neck, shoulder, and back pain. Small breast implants are a more harmonious way to enhance your figure and get compliments for all the right reasons.
- Flattering everyday fits: A better-proportioned silhouette makes shopping and dressing easier. Your bras, swimwear, and tops will fit beautifully – no more tugging, padding, or compromising on style.
- More comfortable workouts: Focus on your fitness goals with fewer distractions. Smaller breasts mean less bounce and more freedom to take on the challenge of high-impact exercise.
- Reduced physical strain: Oversized breasts put excess stress on your spine and postural muscles, which you can avoid by choosing modestly sized implants.
- Subtle confidence boost: Enjoy a refreshed, genuinely feminine look.
Implant Choices for Proportionate Results
It may surprise you to learn that breast implant sizing is in cubic centimeters, which don’t immediately translate into cup sizes for many women. Dr. Davis will patiently guide you through your options to help you select an implant size, shape, and placement that complements your frame without overpowering it.
- Saline vs. silicone: Both materials can create beautiful outcomes in Dr. Davis’ expert hands. Silicone tends to look and feel more natural, while saline allows for smaller incisions.
- Round vs. teardrop: Rounded implants provide all-around fullness, while teardrop-shaped implants mimic the anatomical slopes of the breasts.
- Submuscular vs. subglandular: Under-the-muscle placement provides better coverage, especially for women who don’t have much natural breast tissue. Over-the-muscle positioning may lead to a quicker recovery and more pronounced perkiness. The choice depends on your anatomy and aesthetic objectives.
Dr. Davis’ Personalized Approach
As a Stanford-trained, board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Davis brings scientific precision and artistic sensitivity to every procedure. Her philosophy revolves around listening closely, planning thoughtfully, and executing carefully.
- Patient-centered consultation: You’ll start by sitting down with Dr. Davis for a private consultation. This meeting’s purpose is to discuss your goals, lifestyle, and concerns. In her comfortable, welcoming Beverly Hills office, Dr. Davis will conduct a detailed assessment of your breast anatomy, skin quality, and proportions before recommending the ideal implant size and type.
- Expert surgical technique: Dr. Davis performs small breast augmentations in a fully accredited surgical suite. Once your general anesthesia has taken effect, she’ll place incisions in discreet locations to minimize visible scarring. Her advanced methods promote faster healing and more natural-looking results.
What to Expect During Recovery
Healing from small breast augmentation is typically smoother and more manageable than with larger implants. You may experience mild swelling, tenderness, and occasional bruising during the first few days, but these symptoms tend to resolve quickly, allowing you to ease back into your routine with minimal downtime.
Discomfort is generally mild and well-controlled with prescribed medications, rest, and self-care. You can expect to feel more confident and comfortable as your implants begin settling and you gradually resume their daily activities. Dr. Davis will provide detailed aftercare instructions and remain available for follow-ups while you heal.
