5'6" & 120lbs. Broad shoulders,no hips, long legs/arms & slim. I am 2/3 asian, 1/3 black. First bra was AA in grade 8 w/under wire. 4 years later I wear a 34B but I don't fill it out, one boob might be an A & the other is like small B but there is a very noticeable difference. I want full Cs. I was considering moderate or moderate plus,smooth round,350cc saline implants (also correct asymmetry),sub-muscular placement w/ inframammary incision. Does this sound like a realistic goal? Scaring? Cost?
Selection of a breast implant is complicated. Many patients come in to the plastic surgeon's office having visited multiple websites and looked at many preop photos. In the end, the plastic surgeon is the ideal person to guide you throught this labyrinth. The selection of type of implant, size of implant, position submuscular or submammary, as well as incision location will vary based on the patient. The physician will likely use a variety of measurements to determine the proper size implant for your frame. He/she might also use sizers to help you visualize what an implant might look like "on you". Incisions in a patient who is of a darker complexion raise issues regarding scarring and again require a detailed conversation. Seek a board certified plastic surgeon to help you with these decisions.
I'm kinda confused..is moderate plus more for women w/narrower breast width? If I measure 14cm and get a moderate plus I would need ALOT of cc's to match my width? It is important to fill in your width right?
There are three common profiles to breast implants:
1. Moderate Profile-flattest and widest
2. Moderate Plus Profile
3. High Profile-most narrow and projected
The implant does not need to be an "exact fit" to your breast width (BW). In fact, it is most important that they don't exceed your breast width. Thus, breast width determines the maximum size implant that can be used depending on profile.
For many patients, moderate plus profile implants serve as a naturally projecting implant with maximal fill to limit rippling and wrinkling. High profile implants allow a narrow chested individual (small BW) to have a larger implant without the increased width. Moderate profile implants serve patients with wide chests the best.
Decide on the implant volume with the assistance of your plastic surgeon. He or she will use measurements such as BW, tissue compliance and areola to fold distance to determine a suitable sized implant to meet your goals.
I had my 35 year old silicon implants removed with a lift 4 months ago and I am very unhappy with the results.The left implant was rupture so the capsule was removed along with the implant.The right one was not ruptured so the surgeon removed only the top portion of the capsule. My question is can I get new implants put in the same above muscle plane?I realize that most surgeons like the unders better but I had mine for 35 years with no problems at all so I think that I should stick with overs.
There are several reasons most plastic surgeons prefer to place breast implants subpectoral (behind the muscle). This is the best position to hide any rippling or wrinkling, especially in a patient with poor tissue coverage. The muscle also tends to stabilize the implant over time so the weight of the implant does not cause additional breast ptosis (drooping). In your case, there may be some reluctance to replace your implants above the muscle since it is not a "fresh" plane and you may be more prone to capsular contracture. In some patients the submammary (above the muscle) plane is preferable. This would include woman who are fitness contestants or who do large amounts of pectoralis exercises as this may lead to implant visibility or displacement. Certainly, if you have adequate amounts of breast tissue to cover the implant, and no significant previous capsular contracture, you may be a candidate for an implant above the muscle. Seek the opinion of someone experienced in secondary breast implant surgery.
