With lift would 525cc put me at a D (since tissue gets cut away)? Would 435cc still give upper pole volume? (Photos)

Hello! Thank you so much for asking. Typically when we perform a breast lift and implant, We take into consideration the size that the patient is happy with. If we know we most likely removed some breast tissue then we will recommend perhaps a slightly larger implant to accommodate some of the tissue loss, especially if they bring in wish pics. Check out our before and after gallery.

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.

It is impossible to give you good advise based on this info. In person evaluation and discussion about patient's goals is the basis of any BA conversation. In general, if smaller implant can achieve desired effect, it is always a better choice. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Dear MyTimeNow2023,
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.

Only skin, not breast tissue, is removed and I do not recommend the larger size. I would suggest going back to your surgeon and trying on sizes. Please do not chose an implant too large and heavy for your frame and tissue, or you will just sag with time.
