What is the Best Implant Position for Tuberous Breast? (photo)

I am 27 yrs old & a 36B. I have 1 son who I nursed. I am very athlethic. My PS says that I have tuberous breast & he will have to give me a mastopexy/augmentation. What is the best placement for the implant? Submuscular or subglandular? He says that the subglandular is better considering my constriction but I have heard that submuscular is the placement of choice when it comes to longevity, future ptosis and rippling/contracture. I want to go up to a full C/small D.

A: Tuberous?

I do not see a tuberous breast but rather a ptotic(droopy) one.   I agree that you will require a lift to achieve optimal results however I do not believe that a breast implant should ever be placed above the muscle.  The risk for long term problems with this method is much greater and I do not believe surgeons who specialize in augmentations would do that.  Insist on going submuscular.

What Is a Good Implant Size For My Flat Chest? I'm a Figure Competitor.

Im 5"2 120lbs, 34A maybe B very saggy completely flat. If I wear a t-shirt no bra and stand to the side you can see nothing. My PS wants me to get 400cc unders and disect medial portion of the muscle. I am a figure competitior and I dont want to be too large and I'm worried about the cutting of my muscle. I only want to be a C. Any advice?

A: What is appropriate size for figure competitor?

There is typically a range of implant sizes that will expand your breast skin in a pleasing, aesthetic way. However those sizes might appear either too small or too large to you based on your personal preferences or what you think will look good within the competitive arena. Another major concern is just how much sagging skin you have. If you have a significant amount of sagging a breast lift would be essential to creating a natural appearing breast appearance. For most competitive body builders the smaller the breasts, the better. However your overall frame, chest width and the amount of breast skin that needs to have volume replaced. Reviewing photos with your surgeon and trying on implant sizers can help determine the optimal size for you. Best of Luck  Dr Harrell

5 Wks Post Op, 400 Cc High Profile Implants, What Cup Size? (photo)

Hello, I am 5 weeks post op. I had 400 cc Mentor High Profile implants put in under the muscle (partially). I did not have a lift. Prior to surgery I was a 32A, I had shown my PS pictures and said I wanted to be a very full C. I am 5'2 and weigh 122 lbs. I measured my breasts yesterday and I am only measuring as a B cup. I am very disappointed. Also, although they appear round from some angles, from other angles they almost look flat. Did I go to small implant wise? Will they always appear flat?

A: Fit the augmentation to the body, not the bra!

The cup size on a bra is variable based on the manufacturer. For this reason, we don't guarantee cup sizes. 400cc high profile implants give a lot of projection and volume for a 32A breast. Given your photos, you now have large breasts, but they fit your body shape. In our office, we refer women to a bra specialist for fitting (they are very common in the mastectomy departments of Nordstrom's or Macy's). We have found many women have no real idea of how to try on and properly choose a bra that fits them. Regardles, rather than focus on the cup size, how do you feel about the size of your breasts and how you look in clothing? As for some flattening and contour deformities, at 5 weeks you are still very early in the recovery period. Wait until you are 3-6 months out before becoming too concerned about these issues.
