real versus fake breasts

The question of the difference between real vs. fake breasts has become common in celebrity media. Much of the difference can be due to the quality of the surgery. A poor boob job can introduce an unnatural looks. Breast implants are silicone rubber sacs filled with either saline solution or silicone that are to increase the size of a woman's breasts. Saline implants are the most commonly used form of implants in the United States. Implants can come in different sizes, shapes and textures, and may be under or over the chest muscles. Breast implants often sit higher on the chest than real breasts, and they appear fuller and rounder on top than real breasts. Breast implants often have a noticeable gap between the breasts, while real breasts tend to be closer together. Real breasts also fill out more at the bottom and not at the top. When in motion, breast implants often do not move much and will appear to keep their round shape, whereas real breasts will jiggle, bounce or shift depending on the body's movement. Real breast tissue is composed mainly of fat and is therefore soft, whereas breast implants are more firm and less pliable. Silicone breast implants are generally softer than saline implants because they are made of a thick, gel like substance that feels similar to fat. Saline implants feel more like muscle instead of fat. When women with breast implants do not wear bras, their breasts tend to stay firm and round. Natural breasts will hang lower and will not jut out much without a bra. Real breasts are mostly fat, which gives them a jiggle quality, if they look more like solid muscle, may be in the presence of a pair of fake ones. One often can identify if breasts are fake by comparing them to the rest of the body. Although there is the rare woman who has a smoking body and unusually large natural breasts, more than a few women make the mistake of going too large. Fortunately, these women are easy to spot. If she has a dancer's body and breasts like a porn star, that could be a good indication. Check breast with movement. Fake breast do not follow body movements as well. Many people associate breast implants with a large cup size, such as a D or DD. However, many women who opt for breast implants choose more natural-looking sizes such as a C or even B cup, so it can be harder to identify if someone has breast implants. In addition, padded bras create a similar effect to breast implants by lifting the breasts and making them appear larger. It can be hard to tell the difference between real breasts and implants when a bra is worn.

Q: Will insurance cover plastic surgery procedures? A: There is a distinction between cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. Most insurance do not cover cosmetic surgery to reshape normal structures in order to improve the appearance and self-esteem of a patient. Insurance covers reconstructive procedures on abnormal structures on the body caused by birth defect, cancer, trauma, infection or disease. More Plastic Surgery Questions
