Please Don’t Start Asking me for the “Kylie Jenner Boob Job”

For the second time in two weeks, Jenners impromptu plastic-surgery confession has had plastic surgeons dashing from operating rooms to film reaction reels. I must say-Kris’s facelift is phenomenal… but

Kyle disclosed on her social media, she had breast augmentation with 445 cc, moderate profile breast implants. Well… 445cc is a relatively large implant that would bring the average woman up about three full cup sizes. If you combine this amount of volume with the width of a moderate-profile implant, you will end up with a “very Jessica Rabbit look”.

Paradoxically, the look that everyone is going for is, well, shrinking. Over the past few years, most of us plastic surgeons have been reporting a collective shift towards smaller implants. There was this huge emphasis on bigger is better 10 years ago, whether it was butts or boobs — the more extreme it was, the greater the value there was to it. People are really moving away from that.

Larger implants over time can strain the neck and back. They stretch and deform the breast tissue and can cause stretch injuries to the nerve to the nipple, leading to numbness. One of the more common things that women in their 40s and 50s tell me when they come in to downsize or have their implants removed, is that they really have a lot of neck and shoulder pain.

At the end,you want to choose a plastic surgeon and an implant that will give you a beautiful, natural and stable long-term result that in no way makes your life worse. It’s important to evaluate whetherthe breast augmentation, or in fact any plastic surgery, is appropriate for you, evaluate the risks, and make sure it’s something you really want to do.
