Low Profile Implants?

In general, a moderate or moderate plus style implant creates a more natural look. A low profile implant is flatter and will not achieve the volume for an A to C cup transition. Kenneth Hughes, MD breast augmentation Los Angeles, CA

Smaller implant for athletic fitness enthusiast

The best technique for you would be small implants placed retro-pectoral. However, since you have been a C in the past you probably have extra skin. I recommend a new technique called Breast Augmentation with Mini Ultimate Breast Lift. Using only a circumareola incision it is possible to elevate your breast tissue higher on the chest wall, reshape your breast to increase upper pole fullness and increase your cleavage. This will allow a smaller implant, which will have... more

Breast Augmentation for athletes

Hello. Thank you for your inquiry. It is not uncommon that patients tend to be concerned when it comes to choosing the right size and shape of breast implants for their surgery, especially athletes. With that perspective, the "natural" look is often brought up during consultation that we are missing in this discussion. Nonetheless, the usual best approach in cases like yours would have to be a sub pectoral moderate or moderate plus silicone implants. One foot note... more

Best Method of Augmentation

Hard to give a useful response without photos or breast measurements. But it you wer a C cup before, you pretty well can be assured that you have enough tissue to be restored to that size. Most surgeons prefer submuscular or dual plane position for the implants. Some women who do heavy athletic activities don't like the fact that when flexing the chest muscles the breast is flattened and seems to move. But as small as you describe yourself and as alrge as you want to be, my... more

Implant profile and breast shape

In choosing the correct implant profile or shape, I think that the breast width diameter (BWD), is a very important measurement. If you have sufficient width to your chest wall, the moderate profile implant will provide a very natural appearance. If you can get this style implant to give you enough volume to achieve the result that you want and fit the dimensions of the chest, then you are in clover. If the volume that you want would result in the implant extending off... more
