Does 300cc Saline Mod + Fit my Profile Size? (photo )

I am 5"3 and about 102 lbs. I am a 32B. I am deciding on getting 300 cc SALINE mod + profile. Do you think I can achieve a natural look and feel without rippling? & how much to overfill by? Lastly, I am prone to keloid/hypertropic scarring. Which incision is best in this situation? Thanks!

Breast augmentation size and incision choices

You are a very good candidate for breast augmentation. Not knowing the reason for choosing saline implants, 300 cc implants will likely give you a C cup. Choice of incision especially in your situation of poor scarring makes you an ideal candidate for the TUBA procedure. In this procedure, saline breast implants are placed through the navel with the incision on the inside of your bellybutton rendering your breasts scarless. The scar will be barely noticeable once... more

300cc saline implants may not be the best choice.

300cc implants will add just over a cup size of volume to your present size. If that is your goal, then your size choice is good, and your breast pocket diameter will guide the best choice of implant profile. Moderate plus may be a bit narrow to provide a natural cleavage (it could end up too wide), and your surgeon will need to see if a moderate profile implant in this size range still fits your pocket without folding. Otherwise, moderate plus is a good choice for the profile. High profile... more

Best Breast Implant for Me?

Thank you for the question. Although I think you are asking good questions, you will be better off addressing these questions/concerns with your plastic surgeon. Keep in mind that no plastic surgeon, despite best efforts can guarantee a “natural look and feel” or the absence of rippling. Some rippling/palpability is very common, again despite best efforts. Be careful that you have achieved realistic dictations prior to undergoing surgery. Every plastic surgeon may have a... more

Without seeing you in person and/or reviewing pre-op photos, it shard to give yoga good recommendation for breast implant sizes. It really depends on your measurements, your anatomy, you skin/tissue thickness and your expectations for surgery. In our office we use the VECTRA 3D simulation machine which can show you in 3D the results of different implants in your own body. We then take various size sample implant and have you try them in your bra. This way, you get a... more

Breast augmentation question

I agree that a physical exam is always needed and just your pictures are not enought for a complete diagnosis. Given your scar history I would use a one inch arm pit incision to place your implants. I think a 300 cc moderate plus saline implant filled to 325cc would be great for your frame. Good Luck and please see a board certified plastic surgeon.

Does 300cc Saline Mod + Fit my Profile Size?

Thanks for the posted photo. My choice is 350 cc HP based upon the photo and limited info provided. As for incision location very hard to advise without in person examination.

Looking to get a natural look and feel breast augmentation

Saline implants tend to ripple more than silicone and therefore surgeons will overfill them. This however makes the implants harder and less natural feeling. For this reason most surgeons will tell you that a silicone breast implant looks and feels better than a saline implant. There is a new line of breast implants by Allergan(Natrelle Inspira) that have least amount of rippling. For scars, I find that 90% of the time when patients state they are prone to keloids, they in... more

You are asking great questions,. but without an exam, it is difficult to say what implant would be best for you, and as for rippling it depends upon the thicknes of your tissues. I suggest you go for a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.
