My breast dia is 11.5. 5'6 135lbs & am getting a breast revision. For my first aug, I was told I could not go any higher than 285cc, and got mod+ profile (Sientra), 11.4 cm in dia 4cm proj. I want more round look, higher nipples(without a lift if possible) and bigger. I was recommended the Mentor Boost HP, 370cc, 11cm dia 5.4 proj. Does it look like I can achieve my goal nipple position/underboob? How can I encourage more drop postop? Would the new ones fit my pocket/frame well?
Answer: Implants The pocket can be lowered or made larger laterally for the tighter side. The nipple could be raised on the opposite side.

Answer: Understanding breast augmentation outcomes Why are you having revision surgery? Breast augmentation outcomes are based on three variables. The first is patient candidacy. The second is implant selection. The third is the surgeons ability to place the implant in the correct anatomic location. There’s nothing you can do to change your candidacy for the procedure While your original implant selection was slightly conservative working with larger implants increases undesirable side effects, complications and increases revision rates. Bigger implants will also emphasize the variables that make you less than ideal candidate for breast augmentation. You have some breast divergence and your breast sit wide on your chest wall. The bigger implants select the more these variables are going to be put on display. There’s nothing wrong with with your current outcome. It looks like the implants were put in the correct position. You can choose bigger implants, but I don’t think it’s going to deliver what you’re looking for. Your last picture which I assume is your Wish Picture is not possible because your candidacy for the procedure is different than that person. Honestly, I don’t see why you’re having revision surgery. Quality surgery outcomes always start with having a clear understanding of what the problem is. In your case I don’t think you have a clear understanding of why your outcome looks the way it does. I think you’re asking for a procedure that isn’t going to deliver what you’re looking for. Bigger implants are going to give you a bigger version of what you have now. If you don’t like the outcome, then why are you going to be happy with a bigger version of it? Lowering the implant pocket is going to create implants that bottom out. Implants that “bottom out” is a highly undesirable outcome.The enemy of good is better and the enemy of better is best. Perhaps you should get a couple of second opinions before moving forward.
