I have lost 226lbs and I need some help now. Which cc and type of implants would you kinda recommend for my body size? And how would I go about getting rid of the boob side fat would I need a extended breast lift with implants? Please help thank you.
Answer: Lost 226lbs and now need help with breasts Hi,Please consider not having a breast augmentation. You may have enough tissue to create enough volume by recruiting the 'side boob fat' you mention. While the anchor and vertical type breast lifts require breast implants to create upper pole fullness, The Horndeski Method uses your own tissue without the extra cost, risk/complications and maintenance associated with implants. Inserting a heavy implant to create cleavage will be short lived in your case because your skin has been stretched out so much. Vertical incision techniques use the skin envelope as the only source of support. The Horndeski Method actually creates an inner harness to transfer the weight of the breast on to your chest muscles. This technique provides a longer lasting result with less scarring. You are welcome to look at my gallery to find a person with your similar dimensions. I have attached a short video of what can now be accomplished with a more current technique. Once you are healed and decide you desire additional volume, you can always add a small implant.Best wishes and kind regards,Gary Horndeski M.D.

Answer: How can I get rid of the side boob fat? And what CC implants should I get since my breast sit to the side of my chest? Thank you for your question and pictures. I can see from your post history that your journey continues. Congrats on all your progress! As for your breasts, you would be best served with both a lift and an implant. Often with massive weight loss patients, the skin envelope is very stretched out so an implant is often paired with some type of soft tissue support device for the implant so that it does not just stretch out the skin all over again. The size of implant depends on your goals and your chest measurements. You can also consider having a breast lift and the having the implant placed later as a second procedure. Best to see a local board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation to discuss the options available to you. Good luck!

Answer: Your breasts Nice work in losing so much weight. Your breasts are deflated, which often results from massive weight loss. An implant would certainly be needed to add volume, but you need a lift as well. Side boob can be removed as part of the breast lift. Be sure to see a board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Augmentation Mastopexy Hello,It is wonderful that you lost so much weight. However, you are not a candidate for breast augmentation unless it is combined with a breast lift. Go visit a few ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons that specialize in all types of cosmetic breast surgery, not just implants.Best of luck!

Answer: Implant Size in Breast Augmentation after Weight loss Thank you for your question.Congratulations on your weight loss!! You are a great candidate. The need for a breast lift and type of lift involves many criteria which will be addressed through your consultation. That would address the "side boob". In some occasion liposuction does help sculpt the breast as well. These procedures may be performed in a single stage or in two stages.The need for a lift and implant size for your desired result will be best determined with a thorough in-office evaluation. There are many ways to determine an implant suitable to you. The most important factor is the different measurements your surgeon will conduct.The choice of implant, type, profile, size will also be dependent on your surgeons' expertise, experience, artistic vision, and communication.Please make sure you choose a surgeon who is board certified by "The American Board of Plastic Surgery", check her/his reviews, before and after photos, credentials, experience, and have a quality consultation.Your surgeon should preferably be a member of "American Society of Plastic Surgeons" and a member of "American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons" to indicate cosmetic plastic surgery is their main focus and they have been evaluated to perform quality aesthetic surgery.All the best,
