I'm 35, 5'10", 145 lbs and have 2 children. I like how I looked while breastfeeding & want to achieve a full rounded look. I had consultations with surgeons & after choosing one went for a sizing appointment today. They said I don't need a lift. The procedure is in 2 weeks (7/7). I chose 750cc ultra HP silicone. The staff said my frame will definitely accommodate this size. However, I'm now wondering if they might be too big for my first augmentation. I'd love some professional opinions!
Answer: Recommend 750cc silicone ultra high profile implants for 5' 10" 145 lb frame? (photos) Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. The most important first consideration is the need for a lift and you definitely require one to get the best, long-term results. As for sizing this may be accomplished by a 750cc implant but that does strike me as large for your frame and breast diameter as seen in your pictures and I would recommend trying on additional sizers to get a better visual idea.

Answer: Implants The size you have chosen is way too large and heavy for your frame and tissue, and yes, you need a lift. Your nipple is below your breast fold. Otherwise, you will just have heavy large breasts that still sag. Please consider going much smaller. Too large of an implant will thin your tissue, be too heavy on your neck and shoulders, and sag over time.

Answer: Bellesoma Lift 750 cc implants weigh over 1 1/2 lbs each, will descend inferior and laterally and you will need a revision. Your breasts are too low for augmentation alone. You definitely need a lift using The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired. Implants are not lifetime devices. 8% fail within the first year and 30% fail within six years. Fat transfers are permanent and incorporated into the body. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Recommend 750cc silicone ultra high profile implants for 5' 10" 145 lb frame? Hi. Based on your pictures, my thought is that you would benefit from a lift. To appropriately discuss implant size and choice, as well as whether you do her do not need a lift, you really need an in person evaluation by a plastic surgeon with good experience with breast augmentation. Opinions and preferences will vary somewhat from one surgeon to another surgeon. Personally I start with the base width of the patient as the starting point for the footprint of the future implant. Tissue characteristics, and desired postoperative size, and patient anatomy all factor in to the proper selection of implant volume as well as profile. I go over all of that all in detail with my patients at the time of their consultation. You may consider getting another opinion and carefully consider the before and after pictures of someone who has similar amount of drooping compared to your own pictures. I would recommend consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon with good experience in this area. He or she can thoroughly review the options with you so that you can make a good and well-informed mutual decision. Good luck and take care, Dr. Howell

Answer: To Lift or Not To Lift? Good afternoon, In terms of size, I would need to measure you, but you should also try on the implant sizers which is the best way to confirm the correct size to choose. However, the biggest concern is that you need a lift- what is your surgeon thinking?!? Your nipples point down- they are going to point even more down after your augmentation- you will not be pleased, and I say that from a standpoint of performing over 500 augmentations a year for the past 20 years.
