How can I get more projection with breast implants? I currently have 500 cc gel silicone high profile implant, but didnt exactly achieve my goal for projection. Now I'm confused and don't know what type of implant would give me the projection I want. I'm a small D cup now, 138 lbs and 5'2". Does anyone have any recommendations for a plastic surgeon to do revision on me?
Answer: Balance between your goals and your long term safe surgery You already have a large implant. You could always get a more projecting implant e.g allergan style 45. However, this might not be what you need. Once you choose a higher profile ,your implant diameter gets narrower. Your goals must be well communicated with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area. An honest professional advice will balance between your goals and the safety of this procedure. Best of luck!

CONTACT NOW Answer: Salines project more than silicones but there are trade-offs. A 500cc High Profile Saline will PROJECT MORE than a 500cc High Profile Silicone implant. More specifically you will want the end of the volume range to be 500cc. This gets confusing but you really need something in the range of a 400cc High Profile Saline implant that can be filled to 500cc at the end of its recommended fill range. These vary slightly among the manufacturers so it is important to discuss it with your surgeon. Of course, you will be trading off the benefits of the silicone implants if you exchange the implants. Furthermore the increased projection will come at the cost of the width and may mean that you have less cleavage or outer fullness.

Answer: For maximal breast projection, you may need a lift in addition to implants
Breast implants help to project breast tissue forward and increase the overall volume of the breast.
They are also used to help "fill out" breast volume that has been lost from having children (regardless of whether you have breastfed or not!) or following weight loss.
However, implants often do not address all of a woman's goals on their own.
If the aim is to achieve greater projection in addition to greater volume, a breast lift (mastopexy) may also be required.
For many women, it is necessary to "redrape the crepe" of loose, baggy skin around the augmented breast.
A Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon with a great deal of experience in breast augmentation and lifts can help evaluate your specific situation and guide you in the best option to achieve your goals.

Answer: Change Perception At 5'2" and 138lbs with 500cc implants you are definite not a D. A DD maybe. Remember cup size is relative. The most cost effective way for you to enhance your breast size is to change what's around them. If you are able to lose weight in your midsection it will preferentially make the breasts look much larger. I'm not saying you are over weight but toning the abdomen will change anything. The only surgical option is go to a larger implant or if the implants you have are Mentor then change them to Allergan. Allergan implants have more projection for the same volume.

Answer: Be careful not to overcompensate One of the concerns I have when evaluating patients for breast augmentation is making sure a patient has realistic expectations of what they can achieve from breast augmentation surgery. Occassionaly, patients desires are unable to be achieved based on their breast anatomy. In your case, I feel the most likely way to achieve more projection is to exchange your silicone implants for saline implants of the same size. The trade off would be that you lose the advantages of the silicone implants, which are they look and feel more natural than saline implants. Trying to put in a larger size silicone implant runs the risk of distorting your anatomy thereby ,causing you to possibly end up with an inferior cosmetic result. I would recommend discussing your concerns with your plastic surgeon. Make sure you are on the same page in terms of what you want and what can ultimately be acheived based on your breast anatomy. Good luck
