pectus carinatum (I think) and two totally different breast! Can this be fixed with 500&550HP silicones?

So as you see in the pic I have not only a bigger areola and right breast but the bone sticks out on the right side too- plastic surgeon using pretty much only the axis three3d machine to judge what size meets my goals (hide sticking out bone and have natural big looking breast that sag and jiggle like real boobs... Is 550 (for small side) and 500 for the right too big I'm 5'7 130 VERY MUSCular and I think it's the allergan style 20 HP silicones... BWD might be 13.4.... Really don't want a gap between my boobs from implant being too narrow :/

Two totally different breast! Can this be fixed with 500&550HP silicones?

That there is asymmetry is clear from the photo. How much I can't tell. I find that having a patient try on implants is a useful way to choose size, particularly in the setting of asymmetry. GIven your breast width, the implants suggested seem ok by that criteria. Whether your skin and muscle will stretch enough look natural, and whether you wish to be that large is another issue. , and only with an in person exam would a surgeon suggest that that size is ok.

Breast Augmentation Usually Camouflages Pectus Deformities

Breast augmentation will likely camouflage your pectus deformity to a large degree. The larger 500/550 implants will help in that regard. Be aware that you will not likely end up with cleavage without a bra given where your breast mounds are now. Also the larger right areola is going to be more noticeable afterwards so you can either have a periareolar reduction on that side with your implants or wait have it done later after the breasts relax and the implants settle into their final shape. more

IMPLANT SIZE

From your photos it appears that you have two totally different breasts. If you tried on these implants and are happy with the size then go for it. Personally, I think 500/550 appears a little too large.

Breast surgery

Nearly all woman have chest wall, rib, clavicle or scolosis leading to chest wall and breast asymmetery when examining standarized photographs. A breast augmentation and/or mastopexy may "camouflage" these deformities, when done skillfully, (or it could accenuate them if not identified and accounted for by your surgeon pre-operatively) but it never "fixes" them, as the boney abnormality exists even after augmentation. Your left breast will look fantastic with a dual plane... more

Fixing Pectus Carinatum with implants

If truly you do have a carinatum, it can be fixed with implants. The type of implants will be determined by the width of your breast. With a width of 13.4 you are cert a candidate for both HP and Moderate plus. Depending on what size you want to be will determine how many cc's. The right breast has a larger areola and slighlty more ptotic( droopy). So a small cirumareolar lift may have to be done on the right to match. The best thing to do is talk to your surgeon so you know exactly... more
