i am 5'9.5" and 125 lbs and a 32A with wide shoulders and a narrow rib cage and waist. my surgeon said i have a "modelesque" physique and look. i cant find any pictures with my stats at all. i have chosen 350cc silicone implant and my doctor told me i needed to do high profile implants because of my narrow chest wall. what size will i be with 350cc silicone submuscular high profile implants? tried the size but was told they would look smaller under the muscle but more projection than the sizers.
Answer: Will my high profile implants look smaller under the muscle than with the "sizers" i tried on in the office? In my practice I always good at least one volume size higher than the chosen one. So in your case over the internet I chose 400 cc HP implants..

CONTACT NOW Answer: Sizers do not accurately predict implants At size 32 A each 100 cc’s of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. 350 cc implants will not fit retro-pectoral, extrude inferiorly and laterally requiring revision. The profile of the implant is irrelevant in the retro-pectoral position since the muscle compresses it and determines the projection. Unfortunately, your photograph shows you lifting your breast higher. It is possible that you may benefit from a simultaneous lift. There is a new technique called Breast Augmentation with Mini Ultimate Breast LiftTM. Using only a circumareola incision it is possible to reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Through the same incision, implants can be placed. Aligning the areola, breast tissue and implant over the bony prominence of the chest wall maximizes anterior projection with a minimal size implant. Small round textured silicone gel implants placed retro-pectoral look and feel more natural, are more stable, less likely to ripple or have complications needing revision. Sizers do not accurately predict the implant required.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: High profile breast implants Dear Wannabe, Your plastic surgeon has probably matched the base diameter of your breasts to an implant size to achieve the cup size that you desire. High profile implants might create a less natural appearance in your tight skinned A cup breasts. Good luck!

Answer: Implants look about 10% smaller than sizers. Clearly there are many factors to consider in picking the perfect size for your breast implants. But from my perspective, your size choice is the most important. If you're too small for your wishes, or too large, you will be disappointed. Using sizers under clothing is imperfect but it gets you in the ball park of the implant for you. When placed under the muscle, the actual implant usually looks about 10% smallr than when placed in a bra. So, if you like 300, go to 330. Your choice of 350 would translate into about 385. I agree that based on your dimentions, you probably need a high profile implant to accomodate that volume.I almost always use sizers in determining the patient's choice, but I then use a three dimentional sizing system to clarify what the actual implant would look like. It's a real plus and unambiguously describes what various implants look like.I no way am I disregarding the parameters which my colleagues refer to. Skin laxity, thickness, muscle details all matter, but from my perspective, if I haven't delivered the look you seek, I haven't done my job. Good luck!

Answer: Will my high profile implants look smaller under the muscle than with the "sizers" i tried on in the office? Thank you for your questions and pictures. To answer your question, yes implants under the muscle will project less than sizers put in a bra. Having said that, sizers are an inaccurate method of determining final cup size. Sizers in the bra don't account for the skin thickness, the elasticity of the skin, and whether the implants are placed above or below the muscle.I would recommend discussing moderate plus profile implants instead of high profile. When you have a narrower chest wall, it is also harder to get a bigger (high profile) implant under the muscle. You may want to get a second opinion also, that way you can get another point of view from someone who has examined you, not just on here.
