The Rising Popularity of Smaller Breasts aka “Sports Boobs”

Interestingly, a patient of mine recently came in and said she wanted “sports boobs.” I have a lot of patients who come in requesting revision breast implant surgery. This has become a huge part of my practice, and it’s one that I actually enjoy because the changes that I make tend to be very dramatic. Very common among these are women who are seeking smaller, perkier breasts. They have implants already but feel their breasts are now too heavy, too large, make them look matronly, and they are seeking a more athletic breast appearance. 

The patient in this video had large implants, and she sought much smaller implants so that she could be more active, participating in physical activity more easily and also look better in in her clothes and a swimsuit. So we exchanged her implants for smaller implants. This type of procedure usually requires that some work is done on the inside of the pocket to make the pocket smaller so that the implants are not falling to the sides.

After removing her implants and repairing the implant pockets, I placed smaller implants then did a breast lift to give her a more aesthetically-appealing, smaller “sports boobs” look. You can see in the profile “after surgery” view that the breasts have been lifted above the rib cage; whereas, before surgery, they were falling onto the rib cage. She now has a much softer, and overall smaller breast appearance that is in a more youthful position on her body.
