Breast lift with implantsThank you very much for inquire. After having analyzed all the information and photos provided to us, i recommend you perform 275cc gummies implants will provide the look that you want.Kind regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You are a great candidate for breast augmentation and a 275cc implant should give you the goal you desire. Implants will not typically make you feel fatter. A Vectra 3D imaging simulation may be helpful for you to visualize what different implants may look like on you. Although liposuction may be a good adjunct for you to remove excess fat, I don't think that you have enough fat to transfer for a meaningful BBL. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to review all your options. I hope this helps. Best of luck!

Thanks for your inquiry and pictures, a slightly smaller HP implant in the 225-250 cc range also are good options, please discuss with your surgeon and good luck. 

Hello, thank you for your question. It seems like you may benefit from a breast augmentation, 275cc implants can give the look that you want, but if you feel getting smaller implants, I recommend you to talk to your surgeon. Regarding the BBL,  I perform this procedure on many thinner patients with great results. Multiple areas must be liposuctioned, and the liposuction cannot be conservative. All of the fat harvested must be transferred. Find a BBL expert who performs hundreds of BBLs each year and has great reviews and great before and after pictures.

Hi asumo,It is very common when trying on sizers to feel that the implant is "so big" because sitting outside of the body unsupported, the sizer falls forward.  If you imagine the compression that comes from a sports bra, having the implant placed will shrink the sizer to that extent.  The volume that you end up selecting in the end should give you the desired cup size-a 275 may make you into a C cup if you have little breast tissue now or if you are starting with a C cup, will make you about a D possibly DD. You are a great candidate for liposculpture and yes, it will provide shaping and curves to accentuate your overall look. During your office visit, be sure to try on smaller sizes, try different bras and tshirt necklines as they all change the look of your bust.  My best, Dr. Doolabh

Hello and thank you for the question and sharing your photos, You seem to be a great candidate for breast augmentation and a 275 cc implant should give you a nice result. An in-person consultation is needed to give you a more specific advice. I would suggest that you discuss this with your plastic surgeon. Many factors including patient's desired breast size, skin envelope (both quality and quantity) and breast width diameter among others are important in selecting the implant size. Choosing the right implant should be a shared decision between you and your plastic surgeon. In a typical consultation, you try a variety of in-bra sizers and in combination with several other measurements that your surgeon will do, the final implant volume is selected. Use of 'goal pictures' is  also an effective way to communicate your goals with your plastic surgeon. My best advice is that you communicate your goals and aesthetic ideals with your surgeon as clearly as possible and trust your surgeon's skills and abilities to deliver what you are looking for.
Best wishes and good luck,

 After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of former patients with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. My patients tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size breast implant is right for them. They also get to see what they would look like when the implants 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.

At size 32, each 100 cc of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change.  275 cc implants would take you up to a size D and that may be too large for you.  Perhaps 200 cc implants would be better.  Implants are not lifetime devices.  8% fail within the first year and 30% fail within six years.  If you are considering liposuction then another alternative to consider is fat transfer.  You appear quite thin but you only need a small amount to increase your cup size.  All fat transfer does not take so you would need 300 cc of fat transferred to correspond to 200 cc take, which will take you up 2 cup sizes to a C.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

An implant always seems larger when you hold it in your hand. A 275 implant is quite modest and I can’t imagine that you will think it’s too large.

Dear asumo,
breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.
