Im 5'10 and 125 lbs... An A cup right now want to achieve a C cup. My surgeon recommends 304cc of silicone and discussed my concave chest and if i go to big the implants would come together. What size can I expect with 304 cc and would they still look natural on my little frame?

Pectus Excavatum and Breast Augmentation?

Thank you for the question. If you have pectus excavatum ( concavity in the sternal area), then breast augmentation may be helpful. In my experience, breast implants tend to help “camouflage” the concavity, making the cleavage area look deeper. Often times postoperatively is hard to know that the patient presented with pectus excavatum. Often, patients with pectus excavatum have medially sloped chest walls ( sloped towards the cleavage area); care... more

Breast augmentation with a concave chest

Augmentation results depend on the base upon which the implants will rest. If you have a bony deformity such as a central concavity (pectus excavatum) choosing the right implant size is critical. As you suggest, implants that are too big will give an abnormally crowded cleavage. Conversely, implants that are the right size can help mask a central depression. Asymmetry may also be a problem since some concavities are asymmetric. Give your surgeon the leeway... more

Pectus excavatum

Breast implants may camouflage smaller concave chest (pectus excavatum) but if the pectus concavity is large breast implants alone will certainly not make the chest look normal. My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship.

Augmentation with a concave chest

Breast augmentation with a 'concave chest' is a special challenge because as the breast projection and size are increased, the relative concavity can appear deeper. With a projecting implant you will not have the implants come together, rather you see a canyon effect between your breasts. A very moderate profile implant will be beast, gel is fine, and the 304cc might be OK but we don't know enough to tell. Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd.com

Breast augmentations aren't always as simple as they seem...

This type of question really reinforces the reasons to only see an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon when considering this types of procedures. Even a procedure like a breast augmentation can be more complicated than it appears, as in the case of a patient will a concave chest. Only good rapport between the surgeon and patient can maximize the chances for a great surgical result. Although the photos you posted are helpful to give a general answer, these... more

Breast Implants for Concave Chest

A concave chest or pectus excavatum is not that uncommon. Many patients with a pectus can benefit from simply placing breast implants. The breast implants actually help hide the indentation of the breast bone. The main concern is not to make the implant pocket too close to the midline of the breast bone, so as not to end up with a "uniboob" or synmastia. The differences from one side to the other will remain after your surgery, but the volume... more

Breast augmentation for a concave chest

Thank you for your question and the pictures. Appropriate selection of the right implants which are then well-placed under the breasts can do an excellent job of camouflaging a concave chest. See two or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have surgery. I hope this helps.

Implants and concave chest

It is difficult to predict the final cup size but you might get to a small "C" cup. The concavity will stay because that is specifically a bony anatomy issue.

Concave Chest Augmentation

Without pictures, it is difficult to determine what you will look like or what size a certain implant will make you. If you have a very narrow width ribcage, larger implant diameters can create problems. I would make sure you see a board-certified plastic surgeon, and possibly get several opinions before deciding. Good Luck
