For My Breast Shape, What Would be the Best Incision and Implant Type, Size for Me? (photo)
Hi Grace,
Thank you for your question and photos. Yours is not a straight forward case. You have several issues that have to be addressed: 1. your breasts are pretty far apart and pointing laterally. 2. You appear to have some glandular ptosis (breast tissue below your fold). 3. Your aerola are pretty large and you may some small degree of tuberous breast shape. This is where a good physical examination is important, but I think you would need a breast lift...

Best incision
It looks like you have a bit of ptosis and large areola. It may be worthwhile to consider a circumareola lift with the implants and so going through the nipple region may be a good choice. An exam would be most beneficial to determine the best approach.

Implant size for breast augmentation
Thank you for your question. Your plastic surgeon can tell you what is possible but you get to decide what size you want to be as long as it is feasible. In order to reduce the size of your areola, I recommend an incision around the nipple as the approach for the implants. Discuss with your plastic surgeon what type and style of implant is best for you. There are many sizes and shapes. Without measurements, I can't answer that for you. Best of luck.

Tuberous Breast with Large Areola Requires Special Breast Augmentation Procedure
You need to consult a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specific expertise in Breast Surgery.
Your breasts have a Tuberous as opposed to round shape and your Areola are larger than average.
Generally speaking if the typical Breast Augmentation is done through an Inframammary Incision beneath the Breast it is likely that the Tuberous Breast will sit on top of the implant and the implant will not properly fill out the breast.
If you are happy with the size of your Areola then a...

Best procedure to correct breast volume and wide areola
The biggest question is do you want larger breast volume or do you want an improvement in the overall shape and symmetry of your breasts. There are two main problems with your particular breast anatomy apart from overall lack of volume. You have a some degree of breast sagging with a very large diameter areola. The best procedure for you would be a combination of a breast lift procedure with an incision around the areola as well as in implant with a sufficiently wide base...

Some direction
Most of the answers you have received mention that you need to be physically seen by a plastic surgeon in order to decide on a plan that will give you the best results- which I agree with. Here is a suggestion based off of the pictures posted- Possibly a circumferential incision/lift around the areola to lift and remove excess skin to give your breasts a perkier and rounder (tear drop) shape with a silicone implant placed under the muscle. There is a before and after picture...

Breast Shape, Incision Location, Implant Type for Grace
Hi Grace! I so agree that the best way to go about it is to have a nice chat and examination by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon but here are two major issues, based on your aesthetic goal: options for breast enlargement - silicone versus saline, round versus anatomical implants, shape of implants - so called low / moderate / high, size of implants, under or above the muscle etc AND options for changing your breast contour - do you want fuller breast but without a lift or...

What breast incision and what type of breast implant would best be used for my breast augmentation?
While phtographs are very helpful in determining aspects of a planned plastic surgical procedure, a consultation with an actual examination of the breasts would be most helpful. Having said that after reviwing your photos I think you can eihe have an infra-areolar( at the low end of the areola) incision or underneath the breas( inframammary incision. You can have either saline or silicone implants, the pros and cons of each which should be discussed with your surgeon. It appears...

Augmentation plan depends on goals
Hi Grace, There are several important decisions that need to be made but a lot of these decisions depend on your final goals. The implant will need to fill the base of your breast and then you will need to determine what volume of implant fits your goal of a D size bra. Do you want a silicone or saline implant? Do you want to decrease the size of areola? You will need to discuss these items with your plastic surgeon and then you can determine final size and type...
