Ballerina Breast Augmentation

Double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gregory Turowski applies the same meticulous technique and aesthetic precision he’s known for to create subtle, ballet-inspired results from this “mini” breast augmentation. At New Horizons Center for Cosmetic Surgery, serving patients from Chicago and throughout the greater Chicagoland area, Dr. Turowski approaches every breast augmentation—from minimal to dramatic—with the artistic eye and refined skill of one of the area’s top breast enhancement surgeons.

If you’ve been searching for a natural-looking way to enhance your shape without changing your proportions too dramatically, ballerina breast augmentation may be the perfect fit for you. 

Ballerina breast augmentation refers to an implant style and placement strategy that produces a lifted, elegant breast shape with pronounced upper-pole fullness—similar to the aesthetic associated with ballet dancers. Often referred to as yoga boobs, ballerina boobs, or a mini boob job, this approach creates an elegant contour that blends beautifully with a lean or athletic frame.

The ballet-inspired aesthetic centers on subtlety and proportion. By using small breast implants, your surgeon adds subtle volume that integrates with your body's natural lines. This refined approach pairs beautifully with Dr. Turowski’s detail-driven, artistic eye, allowing him to shape a graceful curve that enhances without overwhelming your natural silhouette.

Many patients are drawn to this technique because it creates lift and definition without heaviness, roundness, or a significant increase in cup size. The results are noticeable enough to enhance your confidence yet understated enough to keep your natural proportions front and center.

A ballerina-style augmentation appeals to those who want results that feel polished but not obvious. If your priority is a fit, streamlined look rather than a dramatic size transformation, this may be the ideal option.
You may be a strong candidate if you’re looking for:

• A subtle, mini, small-volume breast augmentation that complements a narrow or petite frame
• Breast implants in B cup sizing for soft, modest enhancement
• Perky breasts suitable for lean bodies and a minimalist look

At your consultation, Dr. Turowski will focus on your goals, your natural proportions, and how to achieve a balanced, cohesive outcome.

Many people prefer the ballerina aesthetic because it complements their lifestyle and clothing choices. A smaller augmentation can offer several advantages, including:

• A lifted yet subtle contour that aligns with naturally lean bodies
• A lightweight implant feel, ideal for active or high-mobility lifestyles
• Versatility across clothing styles, from workout clothing to plunging necklines
• A modern, understated look that maintains its shape over time

If you prefer refinement over volume, this style offers a fresh, contemporary alternative to traditional augmentation.

Choosing the right implant is essential to achieving the refined, dancer-like aesthetic associated with ballerina breast augmentation. Most patients select lightweight, low- to moderate-profile implants because they offer gentle projection without adding roundness or width to the chest. 

During your consultation, you’ll learn how implant profile, base width, and filler type all influence the final shape. Dr. Turowski will help you select an implant that supports a soft, elevated contour that works with your frame.

With ballerina breast augmentation, you have several choices beyond implant selection that influence your final look—from how the implant sits on the chest to where your incision is placed. Dr. Turowski helps you determine the ideal implant position, whether subfascial or dual-plane, to create a smooth, natural slope that complements your body.

He also offers several incision options, including his signature endoscopic transaxillary approach, which hides the incision discreetly in the underarm and allows precise internal placement with minimal visible scarring. During your consultation, he’ll walk you through each option to determine the approach that best supports the delicate ballerina aesthetic you’re seeking.
