Breast lift and implant advice

Jeffrey E. Schreiber, MD answers: Breast lift and implants on a large-framed woman?

I am 6'2. Yes, very tall! And I am 195 lbs and look pretty good, but having 3 kids and nursing them has diminshed my breast size and shape. I used to be 36 B before kids and looked small! Now I am 38C but it doesn't look nice. So I am getting breast lift and breast implants. I'm thinking of 425cc. My dimension is 13.5. I want to look like a full C, but I know that it's tough to judge on me because of my larger skeleton (think Gaby Reece). I'm also not sure whether to go silicone or saline. Any advice? Thank you!

It sounds as though you have a great plan to improve your breast aesthetics.  A lift is frequently required with an implant after the breasts have gone though lactation.  To pick the best size, I would recommend finding some photos of breasts that you like and showing them to your plastic surgeon.  Also, try on some implant samples underneath your bra to get a general idea of the look that you desire.  Silicone implants are 100% FDA approved and give a very natural appearance with a natural feel over saline implants.  Both are safe, and I mostly put in silicone implants.  Good luck!
