Ballerina Breast

Contemporary breast augmentation concepts

The Ballerina breast concept was coined by Professor Paul Banwell many years ago but the idea and concept has gained more traction globally in recent times. Essentially it is an easily recognised term much akin to a ‘mini-boob’ albeit by another name. However, it cements a global trend and desire amongst women for smaller implants to create a more natural, elegant and athletic breast augmentation. Dr Paul and the team at PANTHEONS clinic have been leaders in ballerina breast augmentation for some years we believe it produces some amazing results.

By definition a ballerina breast augmentation utilises breast implants that are smaller in size and generally this equates to implant sizes between 150-250cc depending on your existing breast size and height. The pocket is purely dependent upon the patient’s personal preference and the implant may be placed subglandular or submuscular (dual plane). As you may be aware there are pros and cons of each choice although there has been a shift with tissue preservation techniques and recovery times to go subglandular where possible. Part of this shift is that the reasons for going under the muscle have proved to be incorrect. An important point to note is use of the term ‘natural’. This means different things to different people but essential ‘naturalness’ is more about the volume of the implant chosen rather than the pocket.
