A 350cc implant is an average volume in my practice, but the perspective of whether this is adequate depends on your body measurements, your native breast tissues, and the mechanical characteristics of the implant profile and its position. Under the pectoral muscles, implants can be "squished" into a flattened shape that may look too small compared to implants of the same size in front of the muscle with more perceived projection. Technical aspects of how much muscle coverage, use of acellular dermal matrix to shape your implant pockets, and other considerations may be useful. These are choices you need to discuss in depth with your surgeon.
How much bruising should be visible about 3 weeks after Breast Implants? Does the bruising typically turn brown and yellow by then and start to fade?
As a rule of thumb, I advise my patients that 80% of swelling and bruising is cleared in the first two weeks after the procedure. The final 20% of residual swelling takes 2 to 3 months or more to clear depending on your age and general health.
The pictures show my breasts as they were when I decided to stop nursing my 2nd child. They have since then shrunk into less than 32A. No droop, but some loose skin. Now I want them back, and maybe even a bit more. I'm 28, 5'4", 110lbs (not much body fat at all) and my BWD is about 10cm. I've played with rice sizers, and I felt good with ones filled to 350cc. That has made me think that HP is the way to go. I just don't want them to look extremely round and fake. What are your thoughts?
Breast augmentation success, as with reconstruction, depends on more than the number of cc's or the profile requested. Have a detailed discussion with your surgeon regarding an assessment of volume in your present breasts, the volume needed, the design of the implant diameter relative to the breast base measurement, the range of stock implants available to choose from, and the choices in surgical approach and position of the implant pockets. Then, try to get an idea of the surgeon's preferences by reviewing photos of past patients. This will give you a basis to choose from the professional, technical, and artistic abilities you may like, or not, for yourself.
