I am planning to have a breast augmentation; I am a 34a and want them to be wide and close together. I have three children and just stopping breastfeeding my last! I have very, almost no volume at the top of my breast. I'm hoping to achieve a d-dd bra size. At my consultation I seen she wrote SSX 580cc down. Would that possibly achieve the look I'm going for? I don't really want them to pertrude to much. This is my wish picture!

Answer: Implant Sizing for Breast Augmentation SSX vs. SRX Thank you for your question. Breast implant sizing and styles can often be confusing to patients. Implant sizing and style depends on the amount of breast tissue the patient has as well as their chest measurements and their desired results. SSX and SRX are different styles of Allergan silicone implants. The X stands for extra full projection. The difference between the two implants is not dimension but rather the gel fill. Which implant is best for you is decided after physical examination and multiple measurements. I would review the before and after photographs of the surgeons and see which photographs you prefer and discuss the implants used in those. Also bring photographs of breast implants that you find aesthetically pleasing so you and your surgeon can review those and make sure you are on the same page.

Answer: Breast implant Thank you for the wish photo. SSX and SRX are different styles of Allergan silicone implants. The X stands for extra full projection. The R is the softest implant and the S is a slightly firmer implant. Your wish photo shows large breasts that are positioned close together on a small frame. If you are also small framed, then it is possible that your surgeon is picking an X implant to allow larger implants on your smaller frame. An S will also give a more round full shape than an R particularly under the muscle. Generally speaking an SSX is not an unreasonable style of implant but that alone is not enough information to tell whether it will work to achieve your goal. Picking the right implant requires many measurements and a detailed physical examination to know what will work best. Hope this helps!
