Hello doctors! I’m 33 years old, my height is 5’4”, and I weigh 135 lbs. I had 2 kids and breastfed both of them. I’m looking to have a breast augmentation soon and would really like full but not crazy in your face boobs. Please let me know what size I should do and also high profile or moderate plus for my body type? I would like to have a full C cup look.
Answer: Breast lift recommended Your nipples seem to be located below your breast fold and pointing slightly downward, therefore a breast lift would most likely be recommended. This can be performed at the same time as your breast augmentation. As for size, more measurements would be needed to give you a range. During your in-person consultation, your board certifed plastic surgeon will be able to give you a range of sizes that may be suitable for you, based on a set of measurements and your goals.

Answer: Choosing the right size and profile breast implants for you I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style 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 size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: Breast augmentation with a lift Thanks for your question! I would suggest going into this with the expectation that you will need a lift as well. Your breasts are droopy enough that I would recommend that with a moderate profile implant to give you a nice, perky breast without being too large. Good luck!

Answer: Implant size Implant selection is a complex process that is best done with the help of a board certified plastic surgeon. After a discussion of your goals for surgery your surgeon will take your breast measurements. This information will be combined with your goals to help determine the appropriate implant for you. If a lift is indicated, this will also be discussed. I have included a video on breast implant selection that I hope you find helpful.

Answer: Mini lift with fat transfers or small implants The technique I recommend is a mini lift. Using a circumareola incision, your breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. At the same time, fat transfers or small implants can be placed totally submuscular. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
