Making the Most of Your Breasts

Allure magazine has advice for you telling you how to put your best breasts forward. From your bra style to surgical improvements, there are many ways to improve your decolletage. If your breasts are too small, then you may be considering implants. Some general advice - don't bring your plastic surgeon a picture of the perfect breasts to copy. Rib cage size, breast width and other factors will determine your ideal breast size. Bigger implants are not always better.

The best place for breast augmentation incisions, with the lowest complication rate, may be in the fold under the breast rather than around the nipple or under the armpit. Implants will not necessarily lift your breasts, sometimes a breast lift (mastopexy) is a better option. If you want natural looking implants talk to your plastic surgeon about creating the most natural look for you.

Style your breasts

Stylists suggest silicone cutlet inserts to make the top half of your breasts full, they almost never use push up bras alone. If you have very large breasts emphasize your waistline. If your breasts are small, you can reveal some cleavage and use lifting tape to keep your breasts in place.  You can also use a shimmery body lotion to emphasize cleavage.

Maintain your breasts

Sun exposure causes breast skin to droop by breaking down collagen and elastin fibers in the skin. Wrinkles, spots and skin laxity can be avoided if you cover up with sunscreen and are sensible with your sun exposure. Performing a breast exam monthly with regular mammography screening is important for detection of breast lumps and cancer. Purchase a professionally fitted bra for everyday wear as well as for sports, gravity and bounce are detrimental to breast shape over time.
