— How Hybrid Breast Augmentation Can Correct Breast Position —

Many women say:

• “My breasts have volume, but they look low.”
• “My décolletage looks flat and my upper body feels unbalanced.”

In many cases, this is not due to aging or lack of volume, but rather body structure, especially in individuals with a Wave body type.

Anatomical Characteristics of the Wave Body Type

From an anatomical and aesthetic perspective, Wave body types commonly show:

• A longer visual distance between the clavicle and the breast
• Softer skin and subcutaneous tissue
• Fat and glandular tissue that tends to descend with gravity
• A lower visual center of the bust, even when volume is sufficient

This means the breasts may appear “low-set,” even in young patients with good skin quality.

The Breast “Golden Ratio”

Aesthetic breast design is not based on size alone.

One widely accepted guideline is the breast golden triangle:

👉 The line connecting both nipples and the midpoint between the clavicles should form an equilateral triangle.

In Wave body types, this triangle often becomes vertically elongated, making the breasts appear lower and the upper body longer.

Limitations of Fat Grafting Alone

Fat grafting is an excellent procedure, but it has limitations in Wave body types:

• Fat follows gravity and tends to settle downward
• Soft tissue makes it difficult to maintain upper-pole volume
• Fat grafting alone has limited ability to raise nipple position

In other words, fat grafting can improve shape, but not always position.

Why Hybrid Breast Augmentation Is Effective for Position Correction

Structural Support with Implants

In hybrid breast augmentation, a silicone implant is placed at a carefully planned height (subglandular or intramuscular).

This allows surgeons to:

• Control the vertical position of the breast apex
• Raise the visual center of the bust
• Maintain shape even in softer tissue types

This structural support is something fat grafting alone cannot provide.

Fat Grafting for Natural Contour

Implants alone may sometimes create:

• A firm upper pole
• A flat cleavage area
• An artificial outline

Fat grafting complements implants by:

• Softening the décolletage
• Improving cleavage and medial fullness
• Blending implant edges naturally
• Fine-tuning asymmetry and body proportions

This combination results in breasts that are naturally shaped, yet beautifully lifted.

Key Design Points at AVAN TOKYO

For Wave body types, we focus on:

• Nipple height and breast apex positioning
• Distance between clavicle and upper breast border
• Cleavage thickness and continuity
• Harmony with shoulders and arms

Our goal is not simply “bigger breasts,” but an upper body that looks balanced, elegant, and refined.

Summary

• Wave body types are structurally prone to a lower breast appearance
• Beautiful breasts follow a golden triangular proportion
• Fat grafting alone has limitations in correcting breast position
• Hybrid breast augmentation uniquely combines:
  
  • Position control (implants)
  • Natural texture and contour (fat grafting)

For patients seeking breasts that are natural yet lifted, with a refined décolletage and balanced upper body, hybrid breast augmentation is a medically sound and aesthetic solution.
