I am wanting a full result that isn't 'fake looking' or 'stuck on'. Currently a B/C. I am thinking high profile to hopefully help project my nipples upwards slightly as I am not wanting a lift yet. Would 415 cc HP be a good decision? Or shall I go for 450? I have had all my measurements taken and these were given as size options.
Answer: Implant size Dear Newme1806, breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.

Answer: Implant selection It's difficult to recommend one implant over the other without examining you and discussing your goals. You do appear to be a good candidate for breast augmentation. You do have some asymmetry which will still be present after augmentation if not addressed during surgery. I encourage you to visit with your surgeon to discuss your concerns. Many have sample implants you can "try on" to give you an idea of how you may look after surgery.

Answer: Breast augmentation I'd suggest 3D breast implant imaging so you can view both options. The technology allows you to control for both implant volume and profile.

Answer: Choosing the right size and profile breast implants for you. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon' s experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what is right for them.
