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.

Breast augmentation desire for natural look and feel

Most patients and plastic surgeons are of the opinion that silicone filled implants have a more natural feel and less tendency to wrinkle or ripple than saline filled implants. There are several considerations or "trade-offs" in the decision to go above or below the muscle. One of those which is not obvious from your photo, is the thickness of the tissue in the upper portion of the breast. You consulting plastic surgeon can go over the pros and cons of that decision after an... more
