Best Option for Me with Breast Augmentation Surgery?
Thank you for the questions.
In regards to your kidney “condition”, you will be best off asking the physicians who know you best about breast surgery and the kidney condition. Assuming normal renal function, I doubt that there will be any problems undergoing the breast augmentation procedure.
In regards to the breast augmentation procedure and the best option for breast implant size/type, the best online advice I can give you is:

Silicone, retro-pectoral implant BEST
You have given us your cup size but not your bra size. If you are size 32 or 34 each 100 cc of implant will correspond to 1 cup size change. If you are size 36 or 38 each 200 cc of implant will correspond to 1 cup size change. From this you can calculate the volume you need to go from a B to a D. Since you are 18, you can only have saline implants. Silicone implants are not approved unless you are 22. The best position for implants is retro-pectoral...

Implant sizing
Proper medical clearance is certainly appropriate for elective, cosmetic procedures, but I would add that breast augmentation can be done with local anesthesia and IV sedation these days which would minimize any effect on your renal function.
In my opinion and experience, the largest increase in size the breast will accommodate without undo risk of distortion, problems, and unnaturalness is two cup sizes. Thus it is not wise to try to go from a small B cup to a large D cup in one...

Achieving a natural result is always very important and is why the surgery and the implant choice have to be customized to the patient's anatomy.

The first thing you can do is go for a consultation with a plastic surgeon to better evaluate what implants would be good for you. Do you mean "atrophic" kidney? Either way, you n eed to see your kidney specialist to m ake sure you have medical clearance for surgery.

Breast Augmentation and Sizing
As long as your kidney function is normal, there should not be an issue with anesthesia and surgery. If you're not sure about your kidney function, you will require some lab work and possible clearance from your Internist or Nephrologist prior to surgery.
With regard to implant choices to enlarge your breasts from a B to a D cup there are a number of things to consider. Your chest circumference and breast width are very important factors when choosing an implant.

Breast augment options
See your nephrologist to determine whether he will clear you for elective, cosmetic surgery. If you are cleared, you will have the options of both silicone and saline implans. At your age, I would caution against going too large. First, you may not have the skin coverage to permit such a large implant; second, if you gain weight through your 20s, then you will may become too top-heavy. Deciding on breast implant options is definitely a process which shouldn't be rushed so, if you are...
