My doctor first suggested 325cc hp smooth silicone implants. I went back a second time because I was concerned that might not look and feel as natural as I wanted so then he suggested 300cc moderate plus. Which will give the best results? He also said I had a wide gap in between each breast and said something about from my neck to each nipple being 20,20,20. I'm not sure if that's helpful. Also I'm 5'3 115 lbs. I'm 23 so I want what will look the best for my body
Answer: Implants alone are inadequate Implants alone will not give you the results you desire. Your nipples are too far apart and I recommend 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. Implant profile is irrelevant in the retro-pectoral position since the muscle compresses it. 22% of women who undergo breast augmentation alone require revision within 2 years because they are dissatisfied with the results. This will most likely happen in your case because your nipples will be too far apart and will have too much gap between your breasts.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: You have significant asymmetry to start Your right breast is very lateral and will be more obviously different after augmentation. I would examine you and evaluate other options including fat grafting with BRAVAIn breast augmentation I have chosen to spend time reviewing photographs with patients to fully understand their expectation of size and shape. Many times this simply raises more questions. I will make measurements and use the implant guides to allow the patient to understand exactly the sizes that are reasonable for their body type and measurements. Please find an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and member of the Aesthetic Society using the Smart Beauty Guide. These Plastic Surgeons can guide you on all aspects of facial surgery, breast augmentation and body procedures including tummy tucks or mommy makeovers!

Answer: Moderate profile plus breast implants best for widely separated breasts Thank you for your question. It is most important to follow the advice of a board certified plastic surgeon who has examined you and make recommendations. OnAdvice may be well and tensioned but does not have the benefit of examining you. Having said that I concur with other surgeons that wider base to moderate profile plus breast implants would be my choice and someone who had widely separated breasts.

Answer: Which silicone implant will give me the best results? Thank you for the question and picture. Base on your photograph, you are starting at a great place and should have a very nice outcome with breast augmentation surgery. However, despite good intentions, online consultants will not be able to provide you with meaningful specific advice. Ultimately, in person consultation with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons will be necessary. Careful measurements, dimensional planning, and careful communication will be key. Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is: 1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you're looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work. 2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining which operation and/or breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or "C or D cup" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. The use of computer imaging may be very helpful during this communication phase. 3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery. I hope this, and the attached link, helps.

Answer: Implant style and size The difference in volume between 300 cc and 325 cc implants is very small. This is less than a shot glass, and honestly would be difficult for anyone to tell the difference easily - volume wise.I always measure the breast width diameter when considering implant selection. Based on this and your desired volume, a variety of implants will "fit".Maximizing your diameter will decrease your projection. As your nipple must be centralized over the implant (and breast mound), a wider diameter may give you more cleavage and ensure better centralization of the nipple areolar complex. A wider implant will give less projection though.All this depends on the width of the implant that will fit your breast. Talk to your board certified plastic surgeon. They will help you decide.
