Hey doctors, I've attached my friend's pictures (wish pics) and my pics. I want to have - her level of upper pole fullness - that small a gap between the breasts - her level of projection - her height of the breasts, with the top of the breast crease slightly above the armpit I was told a round silicone UHP implant would work, but I've seen UHP results that sink below armpit level/ create a huge gap between breasts. Could I tap on your expertise to ask: how can I achieve this look?
Answer: Mini lift with fat transfers or small implants The technique I recommend is a mini lift. Using a circumareola incision, your breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. At the same time, fat transfers or small implants can be placed totally submuscular.

Answer: Implants You would do well with implants placed behind the muscle for better upper chest fullness and avoiding seeing the implant edge. Remember, the implant goes behind the breast and if the breast sits somewhat low on the chest, so will the implant.

Answer: Choosing the right size and profile breast implants for you I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style 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 size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: Breast implants Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You are a great candidate for breast augmentation and will be able to achieve the cleavage and upper pole fullness that your friend has with the upper part of the implants sitting at your desired level. This can be achieved with an ultra high-profile implant. Based on your measurements (which will require an in person visit with a plastic surgeon), you will likely be able to have 400-450cc implants. The ultimate decision on implant size is based on a number of factors and includes the use of sizers during the time of the surgery in order to get the actual implant exactly to your specific anatomy. I hope this helps.

Answer: Implant Size It is good that you have your friend's results to help guide you. From your photos, you have low breast 'volume' on an otherwise thin/petite body frame. Your base diameter is about 11 cm. It is a question of how to balance shape and breast projection. As a general rule, it takes about 150-175 cc per cup size increase. So, a 350 cc implant would be expected to give you a two cup increase. The shape of the implant is very important here. As you are thin, I think that the UHP dimensions will be a bit severe for your frame. I would look at the HP Xtra implants as they have a slightly wider to projection ratio, and I would make sure that I tried the HPs as well. I cannot see you going below the HP level. 'Test drive' as many implants as you can. I believe that you will be very happy with whatever size you choose.
