Mentor 450cc Mod+ or Allergen Naturelle Style 15 457cc. Which One For Natural Look For an Active Woman?

I want a VERY natural look - essentially to fill up the remaining skin envelope from the volume loss from bf. I don't want people to know that I had anything done. I am quite active and didn't want them to get the way. My PS said either could be used to achieve my desired look, and it was up to me one which "felt" better. I have lost upper pole fullness and have mod ptosis - no lift needed, just BA with some profile to "lift". My BWD 13.5, ribcage 27", weight 140lbs, height 5'6". Please advise

Natural Breast Augmentation

Hello, Your choices have little difference between them, and one would not be any more natural than the other. In fact, their dimensions are nearly identical, and you could probably have one in your right breast and the other in your left breast and not tell the difference! (Of course, no one would do that!) I would like to propose other choices in size and profiles. I am uncertain what would be truly appropriate for you without a physical exam, although you... more

Natural look and implants

Without an exam, it is difficult to offer suggestions. However, the more tissue you have and the smaller implants you have placed, the more natural they will look.

Implant profile won't "lift" you

It is a misconception that you can achieve a lift with an implant regardless of profile. In fact, the more profile you use without doing a surgical lift, the more dramatically low the nipples will look as the upper pole gets fuller. Also, a "natural" look comes from the moderate profile implants, not the moderate plus or the HP ones. These have permanent upper pole fullness beyond what nature can make. I'd suggest that you revisit the doctor, consider... more

Advice....

My opinion is different than the opinion of your PS. If you are looking for a result that will look "natural" and "nobody will be able to tell" - it won't be with a 450 cc implant at 140 lbs and 5'6. These will make you about 2 cup sizes larger...and I think that will be quite obvious. Also, if you really have moderate ptosis, an implant is just going to give you a larger, but still droopy breast. Additionally, the extra weight of the implant... more

Breast Implant sizing

I help my patients select the correct size with two methods: 1. Dimensional planning and 2. A 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. Even your... more
