Breast Implants for Women with Naturally Large Breasts?

The problem with large implants is that they will age independent of the breasts which means that if placed under the muscle, the implants will remain high and the breasts will "fall off" of them creating the "Snoopy Deformity". If implants are placed over the muscle in a large breast, the appearance of stretch marks may temporarily improve by being stretched bu the breast and implant will sag together due to the combined weight and lack of support. in regards to your other question, we sometimes perform a lift/reduction and implants in large ptotic (sagging) breasts

Perkiness may be achieved by choosing the right implant (something with more projection and a firmer texture) however please note that implants would also accelerate the rate at which your breasts sag, especially since your breasts are already large. In addition, if you have any sagging at the moment, breast implants alone may not be sufficient in achieving a perkier contour. A breast lift may be required. It is true that implants can soften the appearance of stretch marks to a  certain extent, however they will still be visible and are not considered an effective way to hide them. In fact, larger implants tend to cause stretch marks, depending on your skin quality.Breast augmentation for larger breasts would not involve removing any tissue. It is performed in the same manner, with special attention on implant placement. 

The stretch marks will not change realistically.  The breast shape may improve, and you will get more volume and can achieve more perkiness.  If you want larger breasts, then implants are a good choice.  Try sizers on to see if the increase in volume is for you.  Tissue is not removed.  The surgery is the same as if you had  smaller breasts. 

         It’s always
difficult making decisions about breast size without performing a physical
examination or seeing pre-operative pictures. In addition, the patients
underlying anatomy and personal preference for size and shape must be
considered as well.

 

         Breast augmentation
in women who already have large breasts, should be approached with caution for
a variety of reasons. When women have large breasts, it’s not unusual for them
to also have breast sag. This is usually their primary problem and frequently
requires a breast lift for correction. When the breasts are lifted into proper
position, they often times look bigger then they did when they were saggy.
Under these circumstances, breast augmentation may not be necessary to obtain a
good result.

 

         In other cases,
placement of breast implants might actually accelerate breast sag by stretching
the overlying breast tissue.

 

         Women who have large
breasts who are considering breast augmentation should proceed cautiously. In
the short term, this procedure might meet your aesthetic goals, but over the
course of time, the results might be less than optimal. It’s important to
consult a board certified plastic surgeon who will evaluate your unique
anatomic findings and aesthetic goals to make an appropriate decision. 

It really depends on what we are dealing with. As far as stretch marks go, no they do not look better, and infact if you have larger implants placed to make you a D or DD then there is a likelihood the stretch marks will look worse over time and more prominent.
If you dont need a lift, the procedure involves placing saline or silicone implants to achieve the size you need, there is no removal of breast tissue. Just remember, breasts dont remain perky forever specially with large implants.
