Hi,Yes—it is possible to recreate a 40 DDD breast after a double mastectomy. Mentor’s newly FDA‑approved MemoryGel Enhance line specifically serves larger‑volume reconstructions and now offers silicone implants up to 1,445 cc, the biggest standard gel implant on the market. If your desired size exceeds that—or if you want even softer shaping—we can combine the implant with fat grafting or “overlay” it with a DIEP flap (your own abdominal tissue) to add extra volume and create a natural, seamless contour. Hope that helps!
Hi,Implant selection starts with your breast’s base diameter—the width of your natural footprint on the chest wall—because a proper fit prevents visible edges or bulging. For someone with a petite frame, one of the smallest Mentor silicone implants (130 cc, 8.8 cm base diameter) usually matches that footprint; its low‑profile shape keeps projection minimal, and we can layer a small amount of your own fat around it—or even rely on fat grafting alone—to fine‑tune volume. Hope that helps!
