I am 6'2. Yes, very tall! And I am 195 lbs and look pretty good, but having 3 kids and nursing them has diminshed my breast size and shape. I used to be 36 B before kids and looked small! Now I am 38C but it doesn't look nice. So I am getting breast lift and breast implants. I'm thinking of 425cc. My dimension is 13.5. I want to look like a full C, but I know that it's tough to judge on me because of my larger skeleton (think Gaby Reece). I'm also not sure whether to go silicone or saline. Any advice? Thank you!
Answer: Implant Size and Saline Vs Silicone It is very difficult to determine the exact size and shape implant you will require to best match your ideal breast image without an examination by a board certified plastic surgeon. Not just any board certified plastic surgeon, but one with many years of frequently performing breast augmentation surgery including different approaches, techniques and implant choices. This is because several measurements not to mention your breast characteristics are needed to determine the optimal implant size to obtain your goals. Without knowing these dimensions it would be difficult to make this determination. For example, the existing base width of your breast will determine, in many cases, the maximal volume per implant profile that you can accommodate. To illustrate; a 100 cc difference may make a significant difference with a narrow base width breast, but much less of a difference if you have a wide chest wall and wide breast “foot print”. Therefore, just because your friend may have a great result with let’s say a 350 cc implant to make her go from a “A” cup to a “C” cup size does not mean that you will have the same result with the same size implant. The same process goes for just filling in the upper part of your breast without becoming much larger. Further simply placing implants in a bra to determine the size best for you is not always accurate as the bra often distorts the size, is dependent on the pressure the bra places plus the implant is outside your breast and not under it among other variables. Computer software morphing programs that automatically determine the best implant size can be helpful in some but not all cases (e.g. doesn’t work well in my experience with existing implants, sagging or asymmetric breasts). Using “want to be” photos however are useful if simply provided to the surgeon as I will further explain in the link below including silicone vs saline implants:#breastimplant#breastaugmentation#breastliftwithimplants

Answer: Silicone vs. Saline? Silicone gel implants feel much better than saline. They also have a smaller chance of showing ripples. The new generation cohesive gel implants are particularly nice. Go with silicone unless you have a strong preference for the saline.

Answer: Breast lift and implant advice It sounds as though you have a great plan to improve your breast aesthetics. A lift is frequently required with an implant after the breasts have gone though lactation. To pick the best size, I would recommend finding some photos of breasts that you like and showing them to your plastic surgeon. Also, try on some implant samples underneath your bra to get a general idea of the look that you desire. Silicone implants are 100% FDA approved and give a very natural appearance with a natural feel over saline implants. Both are safe, and I mostly put in silicone implants. Good luck!
