I'm 35yo, 120lb, 5'5, 2 kids both breastfed. My breast width is 11cm and 11.5cm. I always had small breasts and want natural looking full C cup. I do not want two balls look or high chest/cleavage look but rather natural. I would choose moderate profile but my breasts are narrow (11cm). Do I choose high profile? If so how do I avoid high breast/push up bra look? Is 325/350cc the right size for high profile for a natural look? I would like sub-muscular - silicone IMF. Please help.
Answer: Breast Implants / Breast Augmentation Surgery / Breast Enlargement -- Implant Location, Incision Location, Silicone Gel Breast I You need a formal evaluation by a licensed plastic surgeon and expert in breast augmentations to determine what is best for you and your goals.Proper breast enlargement is not a "cookie-cutter" procedure where the same technique is applied to every patient. Every woman who comes to my practice has unique needs and different goals for her breast augmentation. As a board-certified plastic surgeon, I always listen carefully to each woman's concerns and thoroughly discuss the key points of the procedure. I also take into account their overall height and weight, the size and shape of the underlying chest and ribcage, the tightness and elasticity of the skin, and the amount of natural breast tissue. Prior to the procedure, we discuss and make decisions regarding location of the incision, whether to place the implant under or over the chest muscle, and what type of implant to use (I offer multiple types of silicone gel breast implants, as well as saline implants).

Answer: High profile or Moderate Thank you for your questions and pictures. Just based on the pictures, you look like you have a narrow chest and for that reason I would consider high profile implants. Right now you have more volume in the lower pole of your breast and placing the implants under the muscle will also help you achieve a natural result. The best way to decide on a profile and size is to meet with a board certified plastic surgeon in person, have your chest and breasts measured and try on sizes. Good luck!

Answer: Moderate or high profile - 325/350cc with narrow breast width? Do I choose high profile? How do I have high breast look? The best cosmetic result in any particular breast augmentation patient depends on a variety of factors, including: Your individual anatomy, desired outcome, realistic expectations, a thorough discussion with the plastic surgeon about the options, and an understanding of the pros and cons of any particular implant choice. Proper sizing is not just about the number of cc’s. or the type of implant. The thickness of your tissue, breast dimensions which include the width, height, and projection, as well as chest wall width all need to be considered when choosing an implant. Trying on implant “sizers” of various shapes and volumes while wearing a tight t-shirt, bra, or bathing suit at a preoperative visit will help you and your surgeon choose the optimal implant.

Answer: Moderate or high profile - 325/350cc with narrow breast width? Do I choose high profile? How do I have high breast look? (photo) Thank you for your question and photographs. I think you are starting from an excellent position and should anticipate a nice result. Breast implant selection is an exciting, but stressful part of the breast augmentation process as there are so many choices. Unfortunately it is impossible to recommend the best implant style, size or shape without an in-person examination that allows for the measurement of key breast parameters, as well as permits an in-depth discussion as to your desired goals and outcome. I would recommend seeing additional ASPS board certified plastic surgeons to ensure that the implants you decide upon are the right ones to meet your expectations. It sounds as if it may be wise for you to "try on" several of the implants so that you can have a better visual representation as to what they would look like, and also supply inspiration pictures of breasts you find attractive. These are great ways to convey your desires and help select the best implant cc size and profile. Best wishes!

Answer: Breast augmentation, 325/350cc Hello and thank you for your question. You are a great candidate for a breast augmentation. The size, profile, and shape of the implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.
