Hello! I want to go as big as possible with silicone implants, hoping to get 700+cc, reduce the gap between breasts and get nice natural shape and achieve some lift. I dont want vertical scar. I am 29 y.o. 5.9ft 120lb Chest 35" Rib cage 29,5" between nipples 9" pencil test shows my nipple above pencil. Please recommend me what kind of implant to get? How to prevent bottoming out?

Lift, no scar.

Without a vertical scar, the only option for you, in my opinion is an over the muscle implant. There are downsides to this approach in you but, with the scar restriction, it will give you the best cosmetic result. A 700cc implant is large for you but, if done well, can give you significant lift. A low placement of the implant would be required as well including some added support of the fold under your breast.

You should be choosing the "best" breast surgeon, not the "best" implant.

With all due respect, I know you are trying to obtain information helpful in achieving your goals, but that is obtained by selecting an experienced, ABPS-certified plastic surgeon who does lots of breast surgery. Thank you for providing photos and useful information; since your nipples are above crease level and you are requesting large implant volumes, I do believe a skilled surgeon can give you a look similar to the posted "look I want to achieve."

Breast Implants

You are expecting too much from a "breast implant". First I feel that the new generation of silicone breast implants are more natural than saline and highly recommend them in most situations. Your breast show a degree of Ptosis, When you put large implants into an already drooping breast you end up with "larger drooping breasts".. I would speak to your surgeon about possibly placing the implants above the muscles or dual planner using silicone implants... more

The photos and measurements you submit are helpful, but still not as useful as personal examination. The pictures show breast involution, not sagging. If you are willing to accept a large implant, you will get a significant breast lift from the implant alone, I believe enough that you will not need a formal breast lift. Go with a high or full profile implant that matches your breast base width. We use the Rite-Size method, NO revisions for dissatisfaction due to size... more

Breast enlargement with only an implant

Your picture describes a breast with sagginess, excess skin, and deflation. All of these factors point to the fact that your breast will not handle the weight of such a large implant. Soft tissue dynamics with a breast implant is complicated. What is going to determine if you will have in fact good results is the relationship of your nipple with the breast mound. If you have a degree of sagginess and the ptosis is not corrected, then, you will have a large saggy breast either immediately... more

Breast implant for you

I think you have a clear idea of what you want. The larger the implant, the less the need for breast lift. I think that placing 700 cc implant would eliminated the need for breast lift and may give you results close to the photo you provided. You have to understand that large implants carries its own problems. Your plastic surgeon will discuss with you all your option and outcome of surgery.

Breast Implant Size

Hello and thank you for the question. The implant size and shape that will best suit your body is dependent on several factors including your chest dimensions, nipple to infra-mammary fold distance, breast width, and quality of the breast soft-tissue. Additionally, from your photos, it is likely that your would also benefit from a breast lift, of which there are several variants. I recommend consulting with a Board Certified Plastic surgeon to review your options and decide which... more

Silicone breast implants over the muscle with internal lift will correct mild sagging.

Hi. 1) Here's a somewhat different opinion. You do not need a breast lift with lollipop scars. You may not need any kind of skin lift, but it's hard to be sure just from pictures. You might get best result with implants and a "donut" lift which leaves a circular scar around the nipple. This would bring your nipples up and a little closer together, but, as I say, it may not be necessary. 2) I would strongly urge you not to get... more

All the expert posters provide you with great comments. From my review of your so kindly posted photos and the written description, I believe you may need a full or L-shaped lift because your N/A complex is at least 25 cm from the sternal notch. Either way you proceed I might suggest a 2 staged approach. The large implant first than allow healing followed by a donut lift under local. But best to be seen in person.

Implant size

I think gel implants of an appropriate size are a goo first step. In fact, if you want go as large as the photo, I would wIt to see if you need a lift later. Either way you will be happy with what you look like.

Best Breast Surgery Option

From your photos, it looks like you may need not only breast implants but also a breast lift. There are different types of breast lifting and I would like to examine you and see what your "goals" are prior to making my recommendations. If you just place large implants in without doing the breast lift, most likely you will not be happy with the results.

The "Best" breast implant

From your photo, you appear to have evidence of ptosis (breast droop) and loss of volume. You also have nipples that are toward the sides of your breasts, a wide gap between the breasts and breast asymmetry. Large (700 cc) implants are likely to result in larger, more sagging breasts over a very short period of time, and will leave you with another operation sooner than you would like. No patient ever "wants" a vertical scar, but very few ever complain after surgery. With an... more
