Breast Augmentation: Q&A

Am I a Good Candidate for a Subfascial Breast Augmentation?

Hi, I wanted to know your opinion based on my picture. I am 5.12ft and weight 94.6 lbs. Do you think I am a good candidate for subfascial breast augmentation? I am a 32 A cup. Would a 230cc or 280cc give me a full B or small C cup? Thanks

Breast augmentation to correct small widely spaced breasts

In my opinion you would be an excellent candidate for subfascial augmentation. THe big challenge in your breast augmentation is that your breasts are quite widely spaced apart. This can be corrected with proper implant selection and execution of techinique. subglandular placement would certainly fail and subpectoral or 'dual-plane' woould also contribute to the wideness making aesthetic success very difficult unless the origination of the pectoralis major muscle is completely... more

Subfascial Breast Augmentation

From the looks of your picture you seem to be a candidate for breast augmentation. Subfascial breast augmentation is the fascia of the pectoralis major muscle is a strong, fibrous, connective tissue layer between the breast tissue and the muscle itself. Subfascial implants are placed beneath the breast tissue and fascia of the pectoralis major but above the actual muscle tissue. While this is a rather new technique, some surgeons feel that this position may allow extra coverage of the... more

Good Candidate for Breast Implants

Thank you for your question. From your photos, it looks like you are a good candidate for breast augmentation surgery. A good examination would be necessary to make the final assessment but I normally recommend the submuscular breast augmentation for the most natural look, feel and longest lasting results.

Fixing breast asymmetry

I would think you are a good candidate for breast augmentation. Your posted photo was shot with your arms away from the body which can make the nipples look like they diverge out to the sides so it is impossible to say what size implant or surgical approach would be best. You need to know going into this that you have no cleavage now and the implants will not create it. I also suspect you have some asymmetry that will require skin procedures to correct and without them implants alone will... more

Subfascial breast augmentation

Subfascial Breast augmentation has not been studied enough to give any definitive recommendations. My guess is there is no difference between sub-glandular placement and subfascial placement. I would strongly recommend considering a submuscular approach; it is better for mammograms, the breasts stay softer, and I believe you get a more natural result. You appear to be slightly larger on the left, which can be corrected with different size implants and/or a lift on the... more

Breast implants

One photo is not the best way to assess someone, but you do have asymmetry and may need a lift in the one side that is a bit low. I am not a fan of subfascial implantation. I do not think it offers any more coverage than a subglandular approach.

Breast augmentation

You should have a submuscular augmentation with either differentially sized implants or a small lift on the left side. I would not expect perfect symmetry of the breasts given your prep condition. My concern above all would be to try to achieve proper proportion between the breasts.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Subfascial Breast Augmentation?

Thanks for photo. Yes you are and the size is good. I would recommend a sub muscular placement with different implant sizes due to your asymmetry. Plus a possible donut lift.

Subfascial Breast Augmentation

Subfascial breast augmentation is one of those sophisticated sounding procedures that is just plain gimmicky! It offers no advantage whatsoever. Get other opinions! Only get your areolas reduced if you don't mind the additional scarring! Good luck!

All pocket alternatives are available for you

Hi there- Any of the pocket options would be available to you, but in my opinion, your interests over the long term are best served by placement of the implant under the muscle, with a minor breast lift. Find a good surgeon and trust them to do what has worked well for them in the past- if you shop for a procedure and costs you like and then try to find a surgeon to do what you think you want, you will not benefit from the years of experience and training we get and may compromise... more
