Implants

You have ptosis and need a lift. The high profile or ultra high profile implants are best for this fake look.

High and Tight Look Possible for Droopy Breasts

The size of the implant can be left up to you and the board certified plastic surgeon of your choosing. A high and tight look can be achieved in droopy breasts with a full breast lift, if enough skin is taken out.

How to achieve the "fake" look with breast augmentation.

Every now and again, we do see patients who wish to have a "fake" look to their breasts. The use of higher profile or even ultra high profile implants will provide that over-projected look with a rounded appearance to the breasts. In the photos you provided, a lift is also necessary in elevate the nipples in relation to the implant position. However, care must be taken when placing over-sized implants at the time of a breast lift! Significant issues such as nipple necrosis can occur.... more

Pocket disscetion and placement of the implant is more important than size or profile

It is not a technically easy operation to give you the look you want and have it last - I would suggest looking at before and afters for whichever surgeon you choose - and the afters should be years, not months later.

Determining Implant Size

By far the best way in my opinion to determine the implant size that will give you the figure you want is to try the implants on in the surgeons office. Cup size can differ by manufacturer and while your surgeon may select an implant size that creates a certain cup size it still may not create the look that you want. By trying the implants on in the office in your own clothes beforehand, you can go into the surgery with confidence that your post-operative size will be exactly... more

Implant Size and Profile Suggestions for Desired End Results

From viewing your photos, your main problem is not only loss of volume, but sagging. Both of these issues should be addressed with your surgery. If the nipple is below the crease under your breast, an uplift is recommended. Yours look a bit lower. Therefore, you should have both an uplift and implants. You mentioned that you want them to look fake, so the size is entirely up to you. I suggest you have your surgeon place sizers on your chest under a bra and T-shirt and then you can... more

Augmentation and mastopexy

To get the best result for you consider a staged lift followed by an implant i usually do this in one opertion but considering your sagging. i would tighten first ,, see how much volume you still need and where. and re tighten at the second stage .

Suggestions for lift and augmentation

First of all make sure you are seeing a board certified plastic surgeon. Make sure he has experience in simultaneous lifts and augmentations. You may wear a D-DD bra but in my opinion you are in the C cup range. It is very important that you and your PS come to an agreement of your current cup size as a baseline. This will allow the PS to better visualize your goal. Good luck!

Implant Size Selection

I consider two factors when selecting implants for my patients: 1.Dimensional planning 2.Gel Implant Sizing system Dimensional planning – The measurements of your chest wall are taken. Also, the breast dimensions including the height, width, and current dimensions of each breast form the basis of dimensional planning. Based on these measurements, the implant size is recommended. This will give you a unique breast implant that is suited for your body frame. However, there are some... more

Implant Sizing

Your plastic surgeon at the consult should have given some idea of size. Size in your case is tricky. You should have a good volume implant but not so big that the surgeon can close the incisions of the breast lift. Dr. ES
