Changing Implants from 371 Style 15 to 450-500 Style 20 or 500-550 Style 45. 32 Round and 12 Width? (photo)

Hello, Had BA 5 months ago with Natrelle Silicone 371 style 15. I am 5'2", 120 lbs, 32 round and 12 breast width. Breastfed one child. Right breast smaller to begin with but PS used same size implants. Right now they look too wide and not enough upper fullness. I don't want them wide and don't want to depend on a push up bra for a cleavage. PS suggested change of implant to either 450-500 style 20 or 500/550 style 45. Thoughts? Do I need a lift?

Lift? Larger Implants?

You do not need a lift. Your results are very good. Fat grafting to the upper pole or increasing the volume are both alternatives.

Thank you for the question and picture. Although I cannot give you precise advice online, some thoughts may be helpful to you. First, I do not think that a breast lift is necessary. It may be that a larger breast implant will be necessary to achieve your goals.

Sometimes, depending on the... more

Based solely on your photos the results look great, and even if you change the implants to get more upper pole fullness the implants would have to be wider.

I do think that aesthetically the results are great. The purposed implants are two different shaped implants. The current implant that you have is a style 15. This implant is refered to as "midrange profile" meaning it is a wider implant with less projection. The style 20 implant that you are considering using is a more narrow implant with increased projection. This is refered to as "high profile" and this tends to be the implant that is commonly used in my practice. The style 45... more

The posted photo appears as an excellent result. I might consider fat grafts to upper poles only. Best to have ONLY in person evaluations.

Changing Implants

This looks like a nice and natural appearing outcome to me. The proposed implants will give additional size and projection, and are not likely to make the breasts any narrower nor provide more upper pole fullness, since they have about the same base dimension as your current implant. If you want to be a little larger (and the size difference may barely be noticeable), that is an appropriate reason to change up to larger implants. If you expect to have narrower breasts or more upper pole... more
