I am 5'5, 145lbs. My bwd is 15cm. Sternum to nipple is 21. I wear medium/large tops, 36 bra band. The PS gave me the options of allergan 375cc mod, mentor 370mod+ and m430modhigh. I have very mild pectus excavatum, located higher up, under my collar bones. Which would provide a natural outcome with some upper pole volume?
Answer: Natural BA result with upper pole volume Hello, I find that every patient has a different idea of what looks natural, so it is hard to predict this type of outcome. I find it more helpful to base the implant selection on the person's measurements, tissue thickness, and goals that are refined by looking at before/after pics, 3D imaging, or trying on sizers. I typically recommend implants that are a little smaller than the measured BW but every surgeon has their own system. Your surgeon will be the best source of advice since they presumably did a detailed breast assessment.

Answer: Natural is subjective Natural is a very subjective term. What is natural to one patient, can be too small for one patient, or too dramatic to another. I find that the 3D simulation using the Crisalix simulation software gives you the best idea of the final. It is a simulation and is not completely accurate however. Looking at your photos, I feel like all of those implant choices would be very reasonable if you aren't looking for anything overly dramatic. The difference between all those implants isn't that large.

Answer: Choosing the right size and profile breast implants for you After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size breast implants. 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 is right for them.

Answer: Breast implant selection Unfortunately, I can't tell you which implant is best suited for your body and goals without seeing you in person, performing a detailed exam, and assessing goal photos with you. To ensure that I achieve my patient's goals in surgery, I request that they bring before and after photos of patients with similar frame size, starting breast size and the results they find most desirable. I use 3D imaging to narrow down the implant volume range. I perform a very detailed exam noting pec muscle morphology, rib projection, skin type, breast tissue type, and take 6 different measurements of each breast. On the day of surgery, I have 8 different implant sizes in two different projections (moderate and full for example). I use the patient's goal photos and implant sizers to ensure I create the desired change before choosing the final implant.

Answer: Size I would suggest going back to your surgeon and actually trying on all three sizes to see what you really like. Just based on your numbers, I would go with the smallest choice. However, what I would like and what you want may be two different things. Try the sizers on to be sure.
