Breast Implant Position

In many breast augmentation patients, the inframammary fold needs to be lowered in order to allow the implant to rest at a level that appears natural relative to the position of the nipple and areola. Ideally the implant should be centered directly behind the nipple-areola complex (NAC). In profile, the natural-appearing breast is not convex in the upper pole, and an excessively convex and overly full upper pole is a dead giveaway that a breast implant sits below the skin. In addition,... more

High implant looks younger

The goal of breast surgery is to achieve beautiful breasts. Beauty is determined by high position on the chest wall, roundness, symmetry, areola position and least of all volume. You may benefit more from a lift than 300 cc high profile implants. Without more information or photographs, it is impossible to specifically answer your question. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Natural Breast Augmentation Results

Hello. To achieve the nipple position that you desire it is best to center the implants by doing more dissection at the bottom of the breast during placement; this is easily done by a board certified plastic surgeon and will allow a natural nipple position when the implants settle. Your board certified plastic surgeon will be able to tell you in more detail what will need to be done in order to achieve the best results for your body. Jaime Perez, MD Breast Implant... more

Achieving My Goals with Breast Augmentation Surgery?

Thank you for the question. Achieving the look that you are trying to achieve through breast augmentation surgery will be more complicated than the use of a certain size/profile of breast implant. Without direct examination, viewing pictures and/or a few full communication through goals for size device cannot be provided. The best advice I can give you online is: 1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Make sure that he/she can demonstrate significant... more

Breast implant position and its relation to nipples

300 cc implants would ebhance the breast size almost a cup and a half and is a good choice for average patients. Nipples are not located dead center of the breasts. Attractive breast must look natural and should have " tear drope" shape. Following a good augmentation mammoplasty nipples must end up being at least one inch above the inframammary folds ( where breasts meet chest ). An experienced local plastic surgeon should be able to give you the results you are lookinf for,... more

Nipple positions and implants

Your nipples may rise ever so slightly on the breast mound with implants. If you need a lift before surgery, then you will probably need a lift after surgery. Implants do not produce a breast lift.

Implant position

The upper pole slanting also depends upon the location of implant, behind the muscle tends to cause more fullness in upper pole. In front of muscle placement gives the slant that you are referring to.

Implant Position: High or Centered

We generally try to center the implants on the nipples. At this level, by gravity most of the implant contents will be in the lower pole of the breast, similar to the appearance of a naatural breast of the enlarged size. Centering the implants at a higher position will appear to be unnatural on most breasts. Thanks for your question, best wishes.

Breast shape and implant position

Generally there are two ways to shape your breasts during an augmentation,positioning the implant higher will give you more upper pole fullness, choosing a higher profile implant will often do the same thing. These two variables can be used when planning someone's surgery. In your case, a photo would be helpful, but generally a high profile implant would not give you the upper breast slope that you are describing. It would be best for you to find photos of the breast shape you... more

Your nipples don't move, but your implants will drop somewhat!

Every experienced breast surgeon sees that implants tend to drop, soften, and settle over time, even if a tight surgical bra or elastic bandage is designed to (try to) keep implants in their "proper" position as placed in the operating room. This latter philosophy tends to cause many more re-operations for "bottomed-out" implant position, often by competitor plastic surgeons. With that in mind, your surgeon may choose to place your implants slightly higher than their final desired... more
