400 cc HP Round Silicone Implant under the Muscle through IMF

The IMF incision can be used to place the silicone implant under the muscle. You do not have areolar herniation, you just need the inferior pole released. This can be done through the IMF incision.

What size for tuberous breasts?

You have a dilemma here. With the kind of breasts you have, surgery will impact your ability to breast feed and could also result in loss of sensation. If you're desiring to breast feed as best you can, wait until your have your children then have your surgery. Regardless, implants can be placed under the muscle (dual plane technique). The areola incision is preferred since it makes it easier to release any constricting bands across the lower pole and fold and allows... more

Breast augmentation

It doesn't look like you really have tuberous breasts to me, but you don't have much skin from the bottom of your areola to the inframammary crease. If you don't do some sort of small lifting procedure the nipples would still look pretty low afterwards. Under the muscle is fine even with people with tuberous breasts. It's a matter of knowing the proper technique to allow the implant to fill out the breast tissue even when it's under the muscle. But again it doesn't really appear like you... more

Breast Implant Position and Size for Tuberous Breast?

Thank you for your question and photos. Although I cannot provide you with precise advice without direct examination and a full communication of your goals, generally speaking I would recommend that breast implants be placed in the sub muscular (dual plane) position if at all possible. This positioning allows for more complete coverage of the breast implants leading to generally more natural feel/look of the implants in the long-term. This position will also... more
