What is Natural Breast Beauty?
Natural Breast Beauty is a global campaign aimed at empowering women through education and freedom of choice.
Natural Breast Beauty is not a trend, it’s a mindset which respects your individuality.
Consensus Questions & Answers
POLYTECH worked with leading surgeons around the world to develop a clear and practical consensus, that will help address the key questions that you may have about your own personal journey to Natural Breast Beauty:
- I would like a more beautiful breast, but I’m concerned it may appear ‘fake’ or too big. Is a natural result possible with breast implants?
Yes, it is possible. The best outcome isn’t about having a large breast itself but about achieving harmony with your body. It’s essential to consider the overall picture and assess the parameters of natural beauty — the NBB (Natural Breast Beauty) techniques — which reflect the growing desire among women for a non-artificial effect. These techniques take into account body proportions and the balance between the upper and lower breast poles (the gold standard according to NBB is a 45:55 ratio). Proper nipple projection and positioning are also crucial.
- Will people notice I have had breast surgery? I don’t want to be judged.
The 'NBB' techniques aim to achieve a natural look, though not necessarily an invisible one. Some people may notice a change. However, the main goal is to improve a part of your body you’re not comfortable with. The decision is yours, but if you have doubts or feel emotionally fragile, it’s better to wait.
- What is the best and safest way to choose a plastic surgeon?
Online research and social media can help, but the internet is also full of influencers/fakes, hidden ads, and unrealistic images. Some key factors to look for include: checking the surgeon’s CV — if it’s not available online, that’s a red flag. It’s also important that the surgeon is specialized in plastic surgery and regularly updates their training. Consulting your general practitioner can be helpful too, who can gather information on your behalf about the healthcare facility, which must be authorized to perform this type of surgical procedure. Word of mouth from previous patients you know personally can be invaluable. Also crucial: the level of trust and comfort you feel during the first consultation, empathy, and good communication. Lastly, beware of going for the cheapest option — lower costs can come with serious compromises in quality and safety.
- Social media is full of information about breast implants and women with beautiful results. Can I choose the brand and size I like?
Would you choose your own brand of orthopedic or cardiac implants? All medical devices are surgical tools meant for doctors to decide on, case by case. Don’t rely on other women’s photos — you are unique, with your own beauty. Choosing the wrong type of implant, such as one that’s too large, increases the risk of future surgeries. It’s the specialist’s job to guide you in selecting the most suitable type and shape — anatomical or round, different surface textures, and gel types, whether traditional or lighter.
- Do breast implants have an expiration date after implantation? How long before I need another surgery?
Like all implantable medical devices, breast implants aren’t designed to last a lifetime, but they don’t have a fixed expiration date. As long as there are no complications and regular check-ups and imaging diagnostics are done, there is no medical reason to replace them. Reoperation is indicated in case of complications — such as rupture or severe capsular contracture — or for personal reasons if you choose to change them. Never skip annual exams and diagnostic tests, including ultrasound and MRI, not only for the implants but also for breast cancer prevention. Mammograms can still be done even with implants. Take care of yourself.
- What are the risks with breast implants?
One of the most common complications is capsular contracture, a tissue reaction around the implant. A skilled surgeon can reduce this risk by choosing the right implant surface and using proper surgical and sterilization techniques. Numerous global scientific studies have shown that breast implants do not increase the risk of developing breast cancer. The risk of anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), a serious but very rare condition, is now considered less alarming than previously thought. FDA data indicates that most cases were linked to a brand of implant that has been off the market for over 6 years. There’s no reason to replace your implants if you have no symptoms and no diagnosis of disease.
