I am planning to get my breast done soon. I want quite a drastic change. The doctors I have had consultation with have said if I go under the muscle the limit will be 300-400cc Another doctor said for 500-600cc we can opt for subfascial placement. I am doing research as she lots of people with subfascial placement get internal bra (gala). The doctor said he doesn’t recommend it due to risk of infection. I am wary now
Answer: Implants Stay with the 400 cc size, for the 500-600 size will be too large and heavy for your frame and tissue, and you may bottom out later. Plus, the large implants stretch and thin your own tissue a lot. When you are older, you will want to downsize and may be more limited because of thin tissue in what can be done. The 300-400 cc size will be good for life. The lady in your wish photos will be sagging soon. Implants that are too large for your frame will also make you look fat.

Answer: Internal Bra and Subfascial implants are great combo's Hi there- There has been a shift away from placing implants under the muscle over the last few years. Myth! Mesh does NOT increase chance of infection and anyone who uses that excuse to not place mesh does not know how do it correctly or does not understand the procedure. I agree larger implants in the subfascial plane can be tricky based on your starting point but using galaflex or an equivalent mesh is paramount! Hope that helps.

Answer: Mesh Bioabsorbable mesh is helpful for those needing extra support for the tissue. You can definitely have the mesh at the same time as augmentation. Be sure when you are selecting your implant that you are considering which will look best on you, not just what the largest size is that you can get. Many surgeons have sample implants that you can "try on" to give you an idea of how you may look after surgery.

Answer: Get the facts Mesh does not increase the risk of infection. Implant selection is not limited per se by implant position, i.e. under muscle restricts size selection, but the risk of animation deformity is higher when implants are 'too big' for the subpectoral pocket. The craze of subfascial implant position is being propagated mostly by young surgeons who haven't had the opportunity to see the long term changes that occur in the soft tissues of the breast after 10 or 20 years of implants over the muscle. Regardless of which implant position you choose, there are still limitations to size. The woman in your goal photo had more skin in the lower pole of her breasts, allow for more capacity for a larger implant; you would not look like this with that size implant. You need to start thinking in a more long term way about breast augmentation and the choices you make now may create problems that are difficult or impossible to fix, with every revision surgery opening the door to new complications.
