I Have an Umbilical Hernia & Want 400cc Implants. 2 Big? Need a Tummy Tuck & All 3 Together? (Photo)

I am a 40 yr. old mother. I am 5’6” 110 lbs. I would like breast augmentation with 400 cc silicone. The implant width for Mentor high profile is 12.3cm. (My breast width is 11.5 cm) Would this implant size fit? I need an umbilical hernia repair (was approved by insurance with a general surgeon). I am considering a tummy tuck at the same time with a plastic surgeon in my network. Do I need a modified tummy tuck? The general surgeon wants to put in a mesh for the hernia.

I am unsure of the reason for use of mesh, as... more

Thanks for your question, and for attaching the photos. Breast augmentation-As a general rule, I like to keep the width of the implant within the dimensions of the breast.Allergan makes a "full profile implant" implant of 400 cc which is within your breast width. The implant is a little rounder and more projecting, and may look less natural than some of the other profiles. Hopefully you have or will get to try these on in your surgeons office.

Great posted photos but the questions are better answered in an in person evaluation. I believe 400 cc HP implant are OK. As for the TT I think you need a short scar full TT, but not sure. Seek additional in person consults, please.

Choosing the size of your implants

400cc looks like a good size for you. As for your tummy, you'll most likely need a full tummy tuck to get rid of all of the excess skin and to tighten your abdominal muscles.
