Placement & Size for Recommendation for a Natural Appearance? (photo)

I am 31 years old, 5'4, 110lbs, I was a C prior to breastfeeding 2 children. Significant volume loss. I have a BA in May/13. 1. Do you believe I will end up with the "snoopy" look if she uses the dual plane technique? 2. Are my breasts too low for dual plane? 3. My PS believes a moderate plus profile at 325cc will fill the "sac", do you agree? Breast diameter of 13" & 12.5". I want to educate myself and make this decision carefully, and truly appreciate any and all advice. Thank you.

A 325 implant will probably only get you back to a C+ so there will still be some skin laxity most likely. Doing an in person examination, of course, is the only way to... more

Breast augmentation

You certainly would benefit froma breast augmentation to fill the empty breast. I do not think you need a lift, but you may based upon an exam.

Fill size

Hi canada, great question. Yes, you will benefit greatly with a breast aug under the muscle. I do not believe you are at risk for a snoopy look. You also don't need a lift. Your nipple position is excellent and "points" forward. However, i don't think that a 325 will FULLY correct your degree of loose skin. Typically, this type of skin, stretches very easily. It will continue to sag slightly after surgery. I expect you will look great, the skin will be less... more
