Small Breast Beauty: Dr. Ginger Xu’s Approach to Elegance in Natural Proportions
At Ethos Plastic Surgery, we embrace “Small Breast Beauty” – a philosophy and signature approach to breast aesthetics that celebrates the beauty of small breasts, offering patients natural, proportionate results that complement their unique frames. This philosophy guides Dr. Ginger Xu’s holistic approach to breast augmentation, where the focus is not on creating oversized, artificial-looking results, but on enhancing the body’s natural beauty with elegance and sophistication.
Culturally, there has been a move away from the “bigger is better” mentality that dominated past decades. Women today want to look and feel good, but not in a way that appears unnatural or overdone. Dr. Xu’s philosophy on small breast beauty resonates with the modern preference for subtle enhancements that complement the body’s natural proportions. Particularly in places like the San Francisco Bay Area, this shift represents a growing appreciation for a more authentic and balanced standard of beauty—an approach that Dr. Xu proudly advocates.
“Many women hesitate to consider breast augmentation due to fears of looking “too big” or unnatural. For these women, the idea of a subtle enhancement is far more appealing than the dramatic changes often associated with traditional breast augmentation.” – Dr. Ginger Xu

A Holistic Perspective on Breast Augmentation
Dr. Xu’s expertise aligns with a growing demand for breast augmentation that prioritizes subtlety and proportion. Whether utilizing implants or a patient’s own tissue (fat transfer breast augmentation), she crafts a look that fits seamlessly with a patient’s physique and lifestyle.
In the San Francisco Bay Area, where active living is key, many women seek breast enhancements that don’t hinder movement or feel cumbersome. Additionally, Dr. Xu often tailors her results to align with the Bay Area culture’s emphasis on a natural and understated look.
Many women seek a natural enhancement that complements their beauty without overwhelming their frame. Whether you’re seeking an understated change or a more pronounced transformation, Dr. Xu is dedicated to supporting your vision of beauty. This approach ensures patients can feel confident in their appearance without sacrificing their comfort or well-being.
Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation
For women seeking a small, subtle increase in breast size using their own body tissue, fat transfer breast augmentation is an excellent option. This method is ideal for those who are concerned about implants or prefer a completely natural solution. By using liposuction to remove fat from areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, we can enhance your breast size while sculpting other parts of your body. The result is a soft, natural look that feels completely authentic. This procedure is an excellent choice for women who want a modest enhancement without the use of implants. It can also be performed awake so that patients do not need to go under general anesthesia.
Small Implants for a Subtle Boost
For those who prefer the reliability of implants but still desire a natural look, Dr. Xu offers a range of smaller implants designed to enhance without overpowering. Our implants start as small as 110cc and are meticulously selected to suit your body’s unique proportions. Whether you’re looking to subtly increase upper pole fullness or simply enhance your natural shape, we work with you to choose the perfect size and profile.
The Beauty of Proportion
Rather than relying on large implants, Dr. Xu customizes each augmentation to suit the individual. The typical implant size ranges from 200 to 300cc, though we also offer petite options starting as small as 100cc. This flexibility allows for fine-tuned enhancements that focus on subtle fullness in the upper breast, rather than dramatic, oversized results. Her work stands out in a market where many still associate implants with excessive size—Dr. Xu helps patients achieve a natural look, without the fear of “going too big.”
“The era of oversized implants and unnatural results is behind us. Today’s women often want to look fit, natural, and effortlessly beautiful. Dr. Xu’s signature style embodies this new approach, where small, natural-looking results are celebrated” – Dr. Ginger Xu

Our "Bay Area Beauty" Aesthetic
Our “Bay Area Beauty” aesthetic philosophy is deeply intertwined with the San Francisco Bay Area’s distinct cultural and aesthetic vibes. This philosophy leans towards natural, refined, and gracefully understated results. Instead of adhering to passing trends or generic standards, it emphasizes genuine self-representation and celebrates the unique traits of an individual. Dr. Xu’s approach aligns perfectly with this idea, prioritizing subtle enhancements that highlight a woman’s natural beauty.
A Thoughtful Consultation Process
Materials so that every conversation is a true dialogue. This careful approach means each patient Ethos Plastic Surgery is known for its patient-centric consultation process. Rather than rushing decisions, Dr. Xu takes the time to understand each patient’s desires, offering sizing trials in the office and resources for trying sizes at home.

Physical and Psychological Benefits of Smaller Implants
There are numerous benefits to opting for smaller implants. Large implants can stretch the skin and surrounding tissues over time, which can potentially lead to complications, including back pain and even rib deformity. Dr. Xu is passionate about helping women avoid these issues by offering revision surgeries for those who have been dissatisfied with oversized implants in the past. She believes implants should enhance, not overwhelm, and that smaller, well-chosen implants can create beautiful, long-lasting results.
