Breast Procedures

Small or Underdeveloped Breasts

Whether your breasts have always felt small for your frame or lost volume after pregnancy, here's how augmentation works and how to choose the right size.

Overview

A very personal decision

Some women have always felt their breasts are small for their hips or build. Others had fuller breasts before pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss and miss that shape. Uneven breast size is another common reason people come in. There's no wrong reason, as long as it's your decision.

Why breasts are the size they are

Genetics and hormones set the baseline. Pregnancy, nursing, weight changes, and age can reduce volume over time. Chest exercises build the muscle underneath, but they don't add breast tissue.

How Dr. Kim approaches augmentation

Dr. Kim performs breast augmentation himself, using saline or silicone implants. Before recommending a size, shape, and placement, he looks at your chest width, how much natural tissue you have, and how you live day to day. If you'd like a smaller, subtler change without implants, fat transfer may be an option. If sagging is part of the picture, augmentation can be combined with a breast lift.

Picking a size

Cup size is a rough guide at best, and it varies from one bra brand to the next. The most natural results come from choosing an implant that fits your frame. Your consultation covers implant types, incision options, recovery, and long-term care so you can make the call with confidence.

Recommended Treatment

Breast Augmentation

Breast Augmentation naturally increases or restores breast size and enhances the shape and texture of the breasts by using implants. People with small breasts can have more symmetric, attractive and voluminous breasts. Also, this procedure enhances the overall silhouette of the body. After a close assessment, the most suitable implant type, size and incision location will be recommended for each individual patient. CK offers a wide range of government-approved implants in various types and sizes.

Does breast augmentation help restore fullness after pregnancy?

‍

Yes, breast augmentation is highly effective for restoring lost volume after pregnancy or breastfeeding. Patients searching for post-pregnancy breast enhancement often feel their upper pole looks deflated. Dr. Charles Kim uses implants to rebuild shape, restore curve, and balance proportions. This approach improves both projection and firmness while preserving a soft, natural contour that blends seamlessly with your body.

Can breast augmentation correct noticeable breast asymmetry?

‍

Breast augmentation can significantly improve asymmetry by customizing implant size, projection, and placement. Individuals searching for uneven breast correction options often experience differences in volume or nipple position. Dr. Charles Kim evaluates your chest wall shape and tissue distribution to design a balanced result. Through careful planning, the final contour appears harmonious, with improved symmetry that looks natural from all angles.
