A Natural, Proportionate & Athletic Look Is In

Ballerina Breast Augmentation With Dr. Hakimi

Not every woman seeking breast augmentation wants dramatic results. Many prefer a subtle, more balanced approach, using words like “ballerina boobs” or “yoga boobs” to describe the look they want. At Hakimi Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Hakimi can help you achieve these refined results with ballerina breast augmentation, using smaller implants to enhance your shape without adding excessive volume.

Precision Over Volume

Ballerina breast augmentation is about precision. When the goal is subtle enhancement, every detail matters: implant profile, chest wall width, tissue thickness and the way your body moves. Dr. Hakimi treats each consultation as an opportunity to learn more about your aesthetic goals and match the implant size, type and placement to your physique and lifestyle.

Ballerina breast augmentation typically uses implants in the 150cc to 275cc range. To put that in perspective, each 150 cc to 200 cc of volume generally translates to about one cup size. So a woman starting with an A cup might end up with a full B cup. The difference is noticeable but subtle, creating balanced results that add volume without overpowering your natural contours.

Ballerina Breast Augmentation Results

The results of ballerina breast augmentation are visible immediately, though your final outcome will emerge over the following weeks as swelling subsides and your implants settle into position. Dr. Hakimi’s patients often describe the look as “like I’ve always had them.” That’s the point.

Because the implants are smaller, you won’t feel weighed down or notice an obvious shift when you lie down. Clothing fits better, necklines don’t feel as revealing, and you can get back to your workouts sooner without worrying about excessive movement or discomfort.

Before & Afters

What to Expect During Your Procedure

01 // Before

Ballerina breast augmentation is performed at Dr. Hakimi’s Beverly Hills office as an outpatient procedure. You’ll receive local or general anesthesia depending on your preferences and the extent of your procedure. Implants going above the muscle can be comfortably placed with local anesthesia, while general anesthesia may be recommended for implants going under the muscle, or if your surgical plan includes additional procedures, such as a breast lift.

02 // During

Once you’re comfortable, Dr. Hakimi will make a small incision (typically beneath the breast) to create a pocket and insert your desired implants. Because this approach uses smaller implants, the incisions are often shorter than those required for larger volumes. From start to finish, the entire ballerina breast augmentation procedure generally takes about one to two hours.

Ballerina Breast Augmentation Recovery

Recovery from ballerina breast augmentation is generally straightforward. Most patients return to desk work and light activities within three to five days. Swelling and mild bruising are common but should improve steadily over the first two weeks.

Dr. Hakimi will provide you with a supportive surgical bra to wear during the healing process. This helps reduce swelling and encourages the implants to settle properly. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for about four to six weeks, though light cardio can usually resume sooner. Follow Dr. Hakimi’s post-operative guidelines closely and contact the office if you have questions during your recovery.

“My results are amazing, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. I also loved seeing my before-and-after photos at my one-month post-op appointment—it was so exciting to see the progress. I’m extremely happy overall and would highly recommend Dr. Hakimi to anyone considering a procedure with him.”

Is Ballerina Breast Augmentation Right for Me?

Ballerina breast augmentation works especially well for women with naturally petite frames and active lifestyles who want modest enhancement without looking obvious or overdone. If you’re considering breast augmentation, this approach may be right for you if:

You prefer a more natural, athletic look
You have a slim or petite frame
You want to exchange your existing implants for a smaller size
The right-sized implants for your measurements fall within the 150-275 cc range

This approach is also popular among patients who’ve experienced changes in breast size or shape due to pregnancy, breastfeeding or weight fluctuations and want to restore fullness without going bigger than they were before. During your consultation, Dr. Hakimi will review your goals and expectations to help you achieve the refined, subtle look you’ve always wanted.

FAQ

Should I Get Saline or Silicone Implants?

Most ballerina augmentation patients choose silicone implants for their softer, more natural feel. Silicone mimics the texture of breast tissue more closely than saline, which can be an asset when volume is modest. That said, Dr. Hakimi will discuss the pros and cons of each option during your consultation and help you decide what’s right for your body and goals.

What About Fat Transfer to the Breasts?

For some patients, fat transfer offers an alternative to implants altogether. This technique harvests fat from areas like the abdomen, flanks or thighs via liposuction and injects it into the breasts for a subtle increase in volume. The result looks and feels completely natural because it’s your own tissue.

Fat transfer is ideal for women who want a modest enhancement (typically around one cup size) and have adequate fat reserves to harvest. It can also be combined with a small implant for a hybrid approach that softens implant edges and enhances cleavage definition. Dr. Hakimi can determine whether fat transfer is a viable option during your consultation.

What if I End Up Wishing I’d Gone Bigger?

This is one of the most common concerns patients share. The key is working with a surgeon who takes time to understand your goals and helps you visualize realistic outcomes before surgery. During your consultation, Dr. Hakimi will discuss sizing in detail and may use sizers to help you see how different volumes look on your frame. Remember, ballerina augmentation is specifically designed for women who want subtle results. If that’s your goal, choosing a smaller implant shouldn’t feel like a compromise.

Will I Still Be Able to Run and Do High-Impact Workouts?

Absolutely. Smaller implants are ideal for runners, dancers and women who do high-impact exercise. They’re lighter, cause less bounce and put less strain on your back and shoulders. Most patients return to full workouts, including running, within six weeks. Dr. Hakimi recommends wearing a supportive sports bra during exercise and will provide specific guidance based on your activity level.
