I was very persistent on getting the mod plus 371 but my surgeon said that I would benefit from the 425 Hp due to my loss of volume. (With circumareolar lift) 36 years old, 5'8" tall, 125lbs. Breast fed for over a year. Currently deflated A-B cup. I am active, gym, weights, yoga, surfing. Measurements/ pics attached. Every body is different, we have different starting points, my starting point is with very deflated breasts. He said that the 425 hp won't look too big because of my volume loss

Answer: Needs more than a Benelli I personally feel that, in order to get the best result, you would need more than just the circumareolar lift. In my opinion, you need at least the lollipop scars if not more. I would highly recommend asking your surgeon to review with you photos of women with similar anatomy. This is very much surgeon dependent. In my experience, the circumareolar lift does very little actual 'lifting'.

Answer: Lift with 425 HP implants, ? Too Big Probably. The 371 requires a base diameter of 12.9 and you are 12 and 12.5 on your spec sheet, so that won't work well. Also you so seem to have a thinner torso, and there is still quite a lot breast tissue, although it is ptotic. If you wanted to go 425, theoretically the base width of 12.0 would work. You just have to realize that you are going to be a D cup at least. Active life style and large implants, combined with a lift that puts stress on already stretched and weakened tissue, not a good combination. Think smaller in these circumstances. Perhaps trying on sizers and wearing them in your bra for a week, if your doctor would permit that, would save you some headaches, down the line.

Answer: Are 425 high profile silicone implants too big for breast augmenation? You look tall, thin and athletic by your pictures. Bigger implants mean they may get in the way of your activities and this is an important fact to take into consideration. It is always possible that by putting in a larger implant, that your surgeon is trying to avoid doing a mastopexy (or lift) that would have more of a scar. Sometimes it is okay to put in a little smaller implant and doing an different mastopexy, even if it means a little more scarring. It is important to talk to your surgeon again to see what his or her thoughts are for choosing that combination of surgery. Good luck with your board certified plastic surgeon!
