Need for a lift with saline-filled implants

The maximum size increase with properly fitted, high profile implants is two cup sizes from where you're starting from. The need for a lift is a separate issue from saline-filled or gel-filled implants. Implants to not lift the breast. Filling out the lower pole of your breast will give the illusion of a breast lift and looks to be quite feasible for you. Under the (pectoralis) muscle is clearly the best approach both short term and long term. This is based on many years of... more

Best Breast Implant Size/ Profile for Me?

Thank you for the question pictures. As you can imagine, it is difficult to give you good advice with limited pictures, especially with your arms elevated. However, it seems (again based on the limited information) that you will do well with breast augmentation only. In regards to the best breast implant size/profile to help achieve your goals, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery is:   1.

C to DD with Saline Implants Under the Muscle

To go from a C to DD, you may need 400 cc or possibly more. If the pocket is dissected in the certain manner, a submuscular augmentation can be performed and a lift may not be needed.

For saline implants, I would suggest putting these under the muscle. The decision about a lift is often hard to make with photos alone and no exam. With implants as large as you are considering, many surgeons would recommend doing the procedures separately anyway. Since this is a borderline call, I would probably go with the implants alone, decide later on the lift. All the best.

Not sure what 6 DD means??? But yes you can increase your size if desired by the implant. As for size from 400 cc to 600 cc is the range. I recommend sub muscular placement.

Breast lift, breast augmentation, breast implants

If you are wanting to go to a full D or DD, I do not recommend a breast lift. Although you do have some skin relaxation your nipple areolar complexes appear to be at or above the existing breast fold. They will appear more elevated with a breast augmentation and I also agree the implants can be placed under the pectoralis muscle. Although you will have a more tear-drop shape with a breast augmentation alone, this would also allow you to have the size implant you are... more

Sorry to hear you are disappointed with your results. How long ago was your surgery? Seems like most of the PS's suggested implants only. Maybe some post-op photos would help give a better idea of your situation. I can totally understand being upset about not being able to do chest workouts!
