Downsizing The Breast Size In Hollywood

Posted December 31, 2015

The typical image of a Hollywood starlet usually involves a woman wearing a low cut dress with ample cleavage on display for the world to see. Many times the breasts on display are not natural and are the results of breast implants placed during a plastic surgery procedure. However, the tradition of big breasts might be a thing of the past according to some plastic surgeons in Hollywood and Beverly Hills. The latest trend in boob jobs in Hollywood is to get implants that are smaller and not quite as “out there” for the general public to admire.

Instead of going by the rule of “bigger is better”, the new rule in Hollywood seems to be that subtle boob jobs are now more in fashion. In the past, the words “boob job”, “breast implants” and “subtle” didn’t really belong together in a medical conversation. In fact, many women aimed for implants that would give them the size of a full D cup or higher. While such sizes were often viewed as lacking class in certain circles, others didn’t mind seeing their cup sizes increase by three or more sizes.

What has brought about the trend of downsizing when it comes to breast sizes? Some plastic surgeons point to the growing trend of enhancing another part of the body: the booty. The increasing number of celebrities with buttocks implants, as well as the appearance of big-booty dancers in music videos, has pushed the breasts off the top of the large implant food chain. The butt is now the part of the body most people wish to enhance.

It’s not just the celebrity booty trend that is leading to smaller breast implants. Many women that received oversized breasts in the last 15-20 years more than likely suffered from loss of sensation, rippling and even the implants shifting and sliding below the nipple.  Plus, it has often held true that larger implants also bring a larger risk of problems resulting from the implants. After experiencing these complications (or knowing friends with these issues), many women are opting to downsize their implants. 

A rep for one of the big breast implant manufacturers (speaking on the condition of remaining anonymous) recently confirmed the downsizing trend to The Hollywood Reporter. The rep said that his company is making implants more in the 200-to-300 cubic centimeter range. He also went on to say that the most requested implants are known as “gummy bears”. The gummy bear implants are filled with a cohesive gel that are less prone to leaking and also have a more natural shape.

Many doctors who specialize in breast reconstruction procedures are now saying that a B cup is the most requested size with a C cup being considered the largest size most women are willing to have implanted.

One method that has gained popularity in the field of breast enhancements is fat grafting. Fat grafting looks natural and also eliminates the need for women of all ages to get implants. This is especially good news for older moms who are embarrassed to get implants. They are embarrassed because of the social stigma as well as the fact that suddenly having breasts that are a few sizes bigger than before is a giveaway that the patient underwent an enhancement procedure.

While bigger implants will probably never go completely out of fashion among women thinking they need to look a certain way to make it in Hollywood, the trend of having bigger implants that look fake is not as popular as it was in the past. The more subtle boob job is now in style and looks to remain that way for the near future.
