Breast Implants: Q&A
Ask a QuestionCan 550cc High Profile Breast Implants Look Natural?
I am 5'5" 130 lbs with 33" ribcage, 38C(low c) with 14.6cm breasts. I am soon to replace my current 350cc breast implants. I've had 2 kids in the last 4 years so there is some extra skin on one breast and mild sagging. I want to increase my cup size to a D with natural slope and want the crease under the breasts. My plastic surgeon suggested the hp 550cc allergan silicone but don't know if that will produce natural results.

High profile implants generally look less natural
If you are trying to have a natural look, I would recommend that you stay away from high profile implants. The tend to look too round and give too abrupt of a slope on the upper aspect of the breasts. From the measurements that you provided, you have a fairly wide chest which is another reason I would not recommend a high profile implant. I believe that the moderate plus profile implants provide a nice shape and good projection without looking fake.

Breast implants for a natural breast augmentation
For breast augmentation to be truly natural the implant must blend in with the breast tissue such that it is difficult to know that the implant is there. In the distant past we used thin walled low profile silicone gel implants, often just under the gland of the breast. The marriage between the breast and implant was very good with a soft huggable texture and 'flow'. The implants were generally smaller and covered well by the breast tissue. Why the change? Implant leak and rupture with...

High profile implants not typically the most natural looking
Only you and your plastic surgeon can tell what is best, but the general rule is that high profile implants aren't able to produce the natural looking slope in the upper part of the breast for most patients.
However, if you truly want to go up a full cup size then an increase of 200 cc might be in the range of what is needed. With your external diameter of 14.6, the diameter of the Allergan HP 550 is appropriate. But that is big for someone your size, and you would need to accept that....

550 cc high profile implants to correct sagging breasts
550cc. high profile implants are usually used in post-mastectomy reconstruction patients. Implants of that size will usually cause more sagging and skin stretching and cause a very unnatural look as you age.

550cc implants can look natural on some but not all
This is an example of a true concern but without photos it is impossible to offer any specific advisement. Yes, 550cc HP implants can achieve a natural look in some but in others NO!

A larger implant isn't the best solution for excess skin
Darla,
You have some laxity in your breasts because you have implants and have had children. Breasts go through changes in response to these stresses and I commonly see women who had larger implants placed in an effort to take up the excess skin. This rearely works and in fact the larger implants place even more stress on the skin and tissue causing more sagginess. I don't have the benefit of examining you and in Las Vegas it is not uncommon to use a 550cc and the definition of a natural...

Can 550 HP implants be "natural"
In my opinion the word "natural" means something that can occur in nature. It is greatly misused by patients and sometimes means to them a result that is just short of Pamela Anderson. I would say that in the proper use of the word, there is nothing "natural" about a 550 HP implant. It creates a "look" and if that is what you want, it will get you there. But the upper pole slope will bulge out and you still may need a lift. Maybe a more conservative profile...

Breast implant size
It is very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C cup” or "fake looking" means 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...

Breast Implant size for natural looking results
Excessively large breast implants never look or feel natural, so the first important factor to consider is implant size. Not only do large implants look odd, they also stretch out breast skin and tend to become very droopy over time. Most patients with excessively large implants end up having multiple operations over time to address problems with implant position ('bottoming out', for example, where implants drop below the desired level of the inframammary fold), implant visibility,...

High Profile Breast Implants
Darla- Deciding on the size and profile of your implants is a bgg part getting a breast augmentation. Talk to your surgeon about your desired result and listen to his advice. It sounds like the high profile implant will decrease the amount of sag or extra skin you are referring to. It is absolutely possible to achieve a natural looking appearance with high profile implants. You are the only one who really knows what you want. Ask to see pictures of other women who were your stature and...
