My surgeon in Thailand has suggested: polyurethane, round shaped, high profile, 325 and 350 cc implants to be placed subfascial using the breast fold incision. NB: I requested the polyurethane cover implants. I have added a photo of my breasts and a photo of the breasts I VERY much desire. I am in love with them! (image found on the internet-public domain) Thank you :)
I would exercise caution when travelling abroad for cosmetic surgery. In the US, polyurethane implants were withdrawn from the market due to safety concerns. That apart, it may be difficult to achieve your aesthetic ideal without a mastopexy, or lift. You may want to arrange a consultation with one of the qualified Gold Coast plastic surgeons down the road from you.
I'm 1 month PO. I adore my new breasts! I love the size and shape. They are so close to perfection. All I wish is for them to be a wee bit closer together, without the aid of a push up bra. Are larger/wider implants the only option? I would feel comfortable going slightly larger, but cost is an issue. Please note I do praise the surgeon. He is very highly renowned. I understand he's done a fabulous job & that my anatomy may be making it difficult to achieve very close breasts. Thnk you.
Things will get better (softer, more natural, easier to push together with bra) as swelling resolves and skin envelope expands. Normal intermammary distance about 2.5 cm, and yours appears to be less. You answered your own question, and have a great result.
I am a 6'1" and weigh 155lbs, I have had 3 kids and am very athletic, my doctor recommends that I go with a 475cc implant, I know I have a big frame but will these be too big and weigh to much? I am a triathlete and love to run. I don't want to have back problems because of the implants.
Thank you for the question and picture.
It will be very difficult (and potentially confusing to you) for any online consultant to give you better advice that you will receive from a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon who has seen you in person and had the opportunity to discuss your goals in detail.
Generally, I suggested patients concentrate on finding a well experienced plastic surgeon who they trust will do a good job for them. Then, I suggest careful communication in regards to what the patient is trying to achieve. Once this communication takes place your plastic surgeon will be in a much better position to determine breast implant size than any online consultant will be.
In my practice I find the use of goal pictures to be very helpful in the communication process.. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “D cup” etc. mean different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. Placing breast implants on top of the skin ( pre-operative “sizing”) is not necessarily accurate either.
I use intraoperative sizers and place the patient in the upright position to evaluate breast size. Use of these sizers also allow me to select the breast implant profile (low, moderate, moderate plus, high-profile) that would most likely achieve the patient's goals. The patient's goal pictures are hanging on the wall, and allow for direct comparison. I have found that this system is very helpful in improving the chances of achieving the patient's goals as consistently as possible.
I hope this helps.
