Hello I'm 5 ft 3 and weigh 110 lbs. I wear a 34 b bra at present and had 3 children who I breast fed. Iv been told I'm an ideal candidate that I have enough tissue to go ON TOP OF THE MUSCLE. I'm always reading about implants being placed under the muscle for a natural look. I want a natural look but good size breasts. He's recommended 360 cc silicon will this give me good size breasts without seeing the outline of the implant if on top of the muscle
Answer: I'm looking for natural looking & size DD breasts cup. I don't want to see the outline of the implant. Any suggestion? Based on your photos, while you do have a good amount of tissue for coverage, placing implants over the muscle lends itself to a more unnatural look, much like Pamela Anderson. There is also a much higher risk of developing capsular contracture when implants are placed over the muscle. If this happens, the fix for it would be to remove the excessive scar tissue and then reaugment with new implants placed under the muscle. If your goal is to have the most natural look possible, you should consider placing implants under the muscle. The muscle will help hide the roundness of the upper portion of the implants. You may also be a candidate for shaped implants which tend to look even more natural, especially considering the large size you want. I have found Vectra imaging to be very useful to help patients visualize what various sizes and shapes look like on their frame. I think it is important for you to understand that going from a B cup to a DD cup on a very small frame will lend itself to an "implanted" look to some degree. A surgeon can do some things to minimize the unnatural look but you also need to have realistic expectations.

Answer: I'm looking for natural looking & size DD breasts cup. I don't want to see the outline of the implant. Any suggestion? If you do not want to see the implant, a submuscular augmentation with a reasonable sized implant is probably better. I would search for the board certified plastic surgeon who you feel is most likely to give you the best results and who performs hundreds of these procedures each year. I would look at patient reviews as well as before and after photos on that surgeon's website.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Answer: I would recommend submuscular (dual plane) position for breast implants... Much of the final “look” achieved after breast augmentation surgery depends on several factors: 1. The initial shape, size (volume of breast tissue), symmetry of the patient's breasts. In general, the better the preoperative breast appearance the more likely the breast augmentation “look” will be optimal. You are starting at a good place. 2. The experience/skill level of the surgeon is important in determining the final outcome. For example, the accurate and gentle dissection of the breast implant pockets are critical in producing long-term well-placed breast implants. I personally think that these 2 factors are more important than any others, including type (saline or silicone) or model (low/moderate/high profile) of implant. 3. The type of implant used may determine the final outcome, especially if the patient does not have significant covering breast or adipose tissue. For example, some surgeons feel that silicone implants have a more natural look and feel than saline implants because silicone gel has a texture that is similar to breast tissue. Each patient differs in the amount of breast tissue that they have. If a patient has enough breast tissue to cover the implant, the final result will be similar when comparing saline implants versus silicone gel implants. If a patient has very low body fat and/or very little breast tissue, the silicone gel implants may provide a more "natural" result. 4. The size and profile of breast implant used may make a significant difference in the final outcome. Therefore, it is very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon. 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” or "fake looking" etc can be confusing... Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. I use intraoperative sizers and place the patient in the upright position to evaluate breast size. Use of these sizers also allow me to select the breast implant profile (low, moderate, moderate plus, high-profile) that would most likely achieve the patient's goals. The patient's goal pictures are hanging on the wall, and allow for direct comparison. I have found that this system is very helpful in improving the chances of achieving the patient's goals as consistently as possible. I hope this, and the attached link, helps.

Answer: The Perfect Breast Breast augmentation is a very powerful technique in the right hands, and can have dramatic results in a variety of breasts types. Size is a tricky question for many women who choose breast augmentation. There is an ideal shoe size for your foot. Too small and your foot will be crammed and too large and your foot will not fill the shoe. The same thing is true with breasts: too large and it will look round and fake; too small and it will be loose and empty on the top. The common denominator to the most beautiful breasts is that they were sized objectively on the basis of measurements. We combine a proven formula based on measurements of the rests and chest along with through discussions of patient's desires. Photos of ideal breasts and results from patients with similar breasts are often very helpful in the discussion. A rice test in the office or at home can also be very helpful. The key is to work with a Board Certified plastic surgeon with expertise and experience in breast augmentation. Don’t settle for less!
