Is Upper Pole Fullness Impossible for Me?

Not Worth It
Spent: $7,800 in Houston, Texas

I expressed my wishes to my doctor, that after 3 children wanted perky, small breasts, with fullness on the upper portion (upper pole). So I had a lift and 210cc saline implants. Displeased with results since there is no upper pole fullness or cleavage, still feel that breasts are saggy.

Will a larger implant create the upper pole fullness and cleavage? The doctor said that my tissue and skin are the culprits, not able to hold the implants up. I am 128lbs. 5'4 and before surgery between b and c cup.

My rating:
Doctor never said there was a chance that the goals/wishes I expressed with this procedure may not be possible. Said that implant would create the fullness and matopexy remove excess skin to lift up the breasts. I feel that I couldve had the lift alone and gotten the same results.

Me and a friend of mine both recently got our breast done, we both got lifts and implants. So between us we have had consults 11 with plastic surgeons in Houston. Dr Ciaravino is the doctor for the young flat chested model type who wants implants. His name get more hype than it deserves. I'm confused as to why he couldnt determine your skin elasticity from your consult. Then again he's so busy you probably were treated like me and didnt get to even see him. Its seems like your wants were similar to mine, nice, perky, tight breast. You may want to consider consulting other doctors for a revision. One doctor that stood out to me was Dr.Camille Cash, she uses a techinique that utilizes your own breast tissue for fullness up top and had some really good before and after pics(also affordably priced). However I ended up choosing Dr. Steely who also uses a similar technique. And to answer your last question Im not a doctor but its more about the placement of the implant than the size, unless you want bigger breast...
