Breast augmentation after weight loss

Sean A. Simon, MD answers: Breast Augmentation method with minimal scarring for weight loss patient?

I lost a lot of breast tissue after weight loss. What type of implant is best? I have recently lost a little weight and am now 114 lbs. I am healthy and feel great. But I have also lost breast mass as well, and went from a very large D to a small C.

The skin on my chest is crepey but I don't have much saggin at at all, yet, thankfully. What type of breast implant would best suit me. If I want minimal scarring and a natural look and feel. Over, under? Gel, saline? It's all over whelming. I am a young topless dancer in desperate need of advice. Thank you.

 Jaindoe,

There are often many possible answers to any given cosmetic surgery scenario or question.  Having your picture is certainly helpful to giving you an answer without an in person consultation. I would say that you have  maintained a nice breast shape after weight loss and couple that with your desire to have natural look and minimal scars, in addition to taking into consideration your profession,  a breast augmentation with silicone implants placed through a small incision at the lower edge of the areola should be able to give you the look and feel you are looking for. I have performed many breast augmentations with silicone implants through this incision and this typically heals very well to the point that the incision is often difficult to see.

Good luck.
