30 years old, fair, 5’ 7”, 125 lbs, small 34A. Are voluptuous results possible for someone with a chest like mine? I have so little breast tissue, and it’s spread so far out, that I worry any implant will look overly round even going under the muscle. My chest and shoulders are also more broad than a lot of the before and after shots that catch my eye, so I’m afraid my goal is just not possible for someone with my physique. Could you offer any insight into my options and how close I can get?
Answer: Implant size Dear LHG1993, breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.

Answer: Photos Thanks for your question! This is a tricky one to answer based on the photo you provided. I would love to see a picture straight on and perhaps some wish pics. Keep in mind that a lot of women with very large breast implants didn't get there with one surgery. Good luck!

Answer: Nice slope and voluptuous results is possible! Hi! Yes, it's possible to achieve a nice slope and voluptuous results even if you're starting with small and flat breasts. Breast augmentation procedures are designed to enhance the size, shape, and overall appearance of the breasts, catering to individual preferences and anatomical considerations. Here are some key points to consider: Implant Selection: Choosing the right implant size, shape, and profile is crucial for achieving your desired outcome. Your surgeon can help you select implants that will complement your frame, enhance your natural contours, and provide the desired projection. Placement Technique: The placement of the implants plays a significant role in determining the final appearance of the breasts. Techniques such as submuscular or subfascial placement can help create a more natural slope and enhance the overall shape of the breasts. Anatomical Considerations: Your surgeon will assess your unique anatomy, including chest width, breast tissue, and skin elasticity, to determine the most appropriate surgical approach for achieving optimal results. Communication with your Surgeon: It's essential to communicate your goals, expectations, and concerns with your surgeon during the consultation process. This allows them to tailor the procedure to your specific needs and preferences, ensuring that you're satisfied with the results. By working closely with a skilled and experienced plastic surgeon, you can achieve natural-looking and voluptuous results that enhance your overall appearance and boost your confidence. Remember to thoroughly discuss your goals and concerns during the consultation process to ensure that you're both on the same page before moving forward with the procedure.

Answer: What results can be expected Hi, it is very realistic to expect nice results with a breast augmentation given your body habitus. Maybe stay away from the ultra-high projected implants for a more natural look. I would encourage you to take time and try on breast implant sizers at your surgeon's office so you can confidently decide what cc volume you are comfortable with.
