What Kind of Breast Implant Do You Think Would Work Best? (photo)

I am wanting to get a breast lift as well as implants to make my breasts a natural looking C cup. I have had two children who I breast fed. Previously to having children I was a size C and happy with that. Right now I am 23, 5'2'' and 125 lbs and a 32 B cup. I am curious about what you think would be the best "kind" of breast implant given my situation? I have seen silicone, saline and even gel type implants. I would also like to make my nipples smaller, would this be possible?

What Kind of Implant is Best?

Thanks for the photo and question. A brest lift will be good for decreasing the size of your areola and lifting your breast to a higher position. The augmentation will improve shape. The size of implant can be selected with your surgeon, but should be wide enough to give upper chest fill and not so wide as to spill over to the side of your chest. I like the feel of the highly cohesive gel implants better than both saline and gummy bear implants. You can have an excellent... more

Type of implant

Based on your photo and stated goal, a small implant (either saline or silicone gel filled) could provide a nice result with a mastopexy it lift your nipple position and make your areolas smaller. I would recommend a vertical mastopexy, as this will give you a more projecting shape, though an exam would be necessary to be sure.

What Type of Breast Implant Would Work Best for Me?

Thank you for the question and picture. Based on the limited information provided, it is not possible to give you precise advice. However, based on the amount of soft tissue/breast tissue you have available I think you could do well with saline or silicone gel breast implants. Breast lifting will be necessary as well. Some general words (as well as the attached link) regarding the use of saline versus silicone breast implants may be helpful to you: The type of implant used... more

Small Implant with Breast Implant

Given the amount of breast tissue present and the relative ptosis of the breasts, a small breast implant will improve upper pole fullness and the breast lift will improve breast shape and tightness of the skin envelope. Kenneth Hughes, MD breast implants Los Angeles, CA

Best implant is the Smallest Implant

You are a perfect candidate for a new technique called Breast Augmentation with Mini Ultimate Breast Lift. Using only a circumareola incision it is possible to raise your breast tissue higher on the chest wall, increase your upper pole fullness, increase your cleavage, change the shape of your breast and reduce the size your areola. Through this incision, you can also place the implant. The best implants are silicone gel placed retro-pectoral since they look and feel more... more

Best Implant

Thank you for your question. Of course, a physical exam would be necessary to be sure, but based on your photograph I think you would do well with a breast lift (mastopexy) and implant. The type of implant is a personal decision as each one has their own advantages and disadvantages. I generally recommend a smooth, round, cohesive gel implant. Regardless of the implant chosen, the implant will help to improve the shape and provide fullness in the upper pole. The lift... more
