Style 45 700 CC's, or style 20 moderate 550 CC's?

May 26, 2016
Asked By:Anna2016 in Boston, MA

I had a double mastectomy and have Natrelle style 410 tear drop implants placed with 495 cc. I'm looking for more fullness up top since the tear drop ones don't give me cleavage up top. I'm looking to switch to style 45 high profile or style 20. I don't want to look huge since I'm a petite person who weights 125 height 5'4. My plastic surgeon said the style 20 will give me less projection. Any suggestions?

Hello. I am so sorry to hear that your TE had to be removed. It takes a number of months for the tissues to soften and be ready to try again.... and each surgeon has their own protocol for this. the best thing to do is discuss this with your plastic surgeon!Good luck.
