Considering Breast Augmentation - How to avoid sausage look? (photos)

From your photos it appears you will have a nice result from a breast augmentation. The key is to select the right implant. Schedule a few consultations with board certified plastic surgeons near you. During this visit measurements will be taken of your breasts and you'll discuss your goals for surgery. Your surgeon will combine this information to come up with implant recommendations for you.

Hello @misselac, thank you for your question and for showing your picture. An on-site or virtual consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon is the best way to determine an appropriate intervention by assessing the individual characteristics of the patient breasts as well as her general health. If you are going to have breast surgery, I suggest a lift or a lift with prostheses for the reason that just getting an implant will not solve the problem. For the most adequate aesthetic result over time what we want is to raise the breast and rearrange it, to put it in its place, so that the projection of the breast from the anterior axillary line to the external midline and give it projection. I also link a video about the importance of prosthesis placement to shed some more light. Best wishes!

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 then get to choose what looks right for them. 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. Mildly Sagging Breasts: If your breasts are mildly droopy, a saline or silicone gel implant placed behind the pectoral muscle might help create the illusion of perkiness. That’s because as the implant fills out the top of the breast, it also fills out the bottom, making it look as if the nipple has moved higher. It hasn’t. You can always get a lift later if you feel you are not perky enough when fully settled and healed. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.
