Breast Augmentation: Q&A

I Have Natural 30E Breasts How Much Can I Add Without the Implant Being Visible?

I have natural 30E breasts. I want to add volume to them. However I don't want the implant to be visible when I'm bouncing around during intercourse; I also want to keep their natural 'jiggle'. So two questions: Assuming I'm Jane Average, how much could I likely add without ruining the jiggle? Other than using less volume, what could a surgeon do to preserve the precious natural-boob jiggle? I'm 5'4,120lb,28yr,30E breasts which displaced 475mL when dipped in a Pyrex cup (I was just curious).

Avoid implant to achieve natural motion

At size 30 each 100 cc of implant will correspond to 1 cup size change. The 474 mL you measured corresponds to a size E. The answer to your 1st question is the more volume added to the breast the more the breast will displace with motion. However, if you want to prevent that from happening, the best technique is to place the implants completely behind the muscle. The answer to your 2nd question is to use a new technique called The Mini Ultimate Breast Lift. With... more

I dont think you are a candidate for implants from your description. Please post some photographs for more information

Breast Implants vs. Natural

Without at least a picture it is very hard to determine what to recommend. It sounds by your explanation that you have naturally large breast. And it sounds like you are pleased with the look you have. If that is the case, I would recommend staying with what you have, naturally.

E cup breast and implants

It sound like you have significantly large breasts currently. I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish with implants?

Implants to enlarge an E cup

I would caution you against implants because you will be precipitating a whole new set of problems down the road, especially since you already have macromastia. Only a physical exam can determine whether you have enough tissue to cover the edge of the implant. Also, let me add that what you call the "previous natural-boob jiggle" will not continue with breasts of your current size and you can expect them to sag, based simply on gravity, over time even without an implant. more

Adding more volume to naturally large breasts--how much is too much to preseve "jiggle."

Thanks for the additional information; I answered your earlier question on the basis of an erroneous assumption that you already had 470cc implants. Using Archimedes' displacement is an excellent way of estimating present breast volume, though 475cc would typically correlate with a C-D cup (depending on bra manufacturer). Still, I have always contended that bra sizes are nothing more than "letters on a label" and they either fit well and look good, or not. Clearly you have large... more

Large breasts and breast augmentation

If you are an E-cup, I would think that you would be a better candidate for a breast reduction rather than a breast augmentation. I would think that you would be having back, neck, and shoulder strain from carrying around that much weight. Still, to answer your question, obviously, the larger the size of the implant, the more your tissue will stretch and thin out to cover it. Without examining you it is difficult to tell you what the optimum volume should be. more

Adding Volume in a 30 E

Adding volume should be considered carefully in relation to back and neck pain later in life. The jiggle preservation is difficult to assess without an exam.

Best Breast Surgery for Me?

Thank you for the question and good description of your body type. Despite your good description, you should be aware that there is no such thing as “Jane Average” and therefore not possible to give you precise advice without direct examination or viewing pictures. In other words, every patient is different and making a precise diagnosis and having a full communication of patient's goals are both very important of "keys” to successful breast surgery.
