29 F. 34B, 135 lbs. I was told I have a wide chest (or wide breast bone?) and a mild tuberous deformity in one of my breasts. Also my breasts sit kind of low. I want them to look very natural and about 1-2 cup sizes bigger. One doctor told me a moderate profile responsive implant placed submuscular would be most natural and another said low profile SoftTouch placed subfascially would be most natural. Any advice?

Answer: Subfascial or submuscular Dear hdk9920, I almost always place implants submuscular. It lowers the rate of capsular contracture significantly. In addition, it looks much more natural because the muscle provides covering over the implant so its not as round on the top. I've also noticed the implants drop less over time when they are protected under the muscle.

Answer: Breast augmentation Without photos or an exam it's difficult to give specific recommendations. Breast augmentation and implant selection options are best decided in person with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon. Each candidate is unique and has specific goals for their "wish" look. If you are unsure about the advice you received you may wish to meet with a couple other board certified plastic surgeons for their opinions.
