Requirements For Breast Augmentation

Hi, Achieving a given breasts size depends on several factors such as the anatomy of the patient's chest, the laxity of her skin, etc. Without photos and physical examination, it is hard to provide you with a definitive opinion. It is not unusual that a patient adopts certain restrictions before consulting with her surgeon to find out later on about a wide range of possible options to choose from. So, I encourage you to consult with board certified surgeons of... more

Yes you can have an augmentation

As there are many others out there just like you. You should schedule an consultation with a local board certified (or board eligible) plastic surgeon and consider seeing more than one if you don't have friends or family who can recommend one for you. Your surgeon can help guide you as to what an appropriate size will be for your build. Augmentation will not change any pre-existing differences in your breast and you will have to accept the standard risks of the... more

Breast implants for a woman with a slight build...

You situation is not uncommon with people of slight build.

In many cases this is more art than science and requires a careful discussion between the doctor and the patient. I would recommend you first find a board certified plastic surgeon that... more

Breast augmentation candidate?

By your description it appears that you would be a good candidate for a breast augmentation, however a consultation and exam would be best. The size of implant chosen will help fill out your breast to near your desired size.

Size B-C

Dear th123, From the information that you provided, as far as your body size, your calculated BMI is 22. That means that you are a thin lady and your breasts skin is thin too. Consequently, the smaller the enlargements the more natural the look and feel of the breasts. That is because, the implants will be covered more by the muscle and the breast tissue. A size B or full B will be an excellent choice. Larger implants will necessitate a larger pocket which... more

Question about breast augmentation

Thank you for your question. Without proper examination it would be difficult to answer your question. It is good that you are loosing your baby wight. I suggest you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area.

Do I have enough tissue to go from A to C???

Hard to answer without photos or exam. I would like to know how large you were during pregnancy and nursing. If your size was B or C, then you have already shown you have enough tissue to attain that size. A silicone gel implant will be best. Visit a surgeon to get your answer. Best wishes.
