Goal;SOFT full B/small C. I'm finally getting boobs & need implant advice! I'm 5’7”, 106lbs, bony chest & little breast tissue. I like the size in my goal photos & don't want to look vulgar or with 2 mounds stuck to my chest & a huge gap. Dr A: BWD = 11.7 → Natrelle 240cc low profile max. Dr B: BWD = 10.5 → Inspira 240cc medium profile. Anything larger would cause rippling. 1. Why is my BWD so different? 2. Which implant is best? 3. Will 240cc bring me to my goal photos? Your advice is much appreciated! Thank you!
Answer: I'm 5'7.5", 106lbs, 32AA, tight tissue, 0 kids. Inspira 240cc med profile or Natrelle 240cc low profile? Thank you for the question. Based on your photographs, I think that you are starting at a good place and should have a very nice outcome with breast augmentation surgery. Ultimately, careful communication of your goals (in my practice I prefer the use of goal pictures, direct examination/communication in front of a full-length mirror, and computer imaging) will be critical.

Answer: Implant size Choosing the right size and type of implant depends on any number of factors most of which require an in person exam. So, schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area (link below) to discuss. Your surgeon may have gel inserts so you can "try out" the 240cc. If not, do the at home rice method (1oz rice = 30cc breast volume, place in baggies, insert in bra) to see if you like the look. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Answer: Natrelle implants comparison I work with the style 10 (low profile) implants and Inspira moderate profile implants quite often. For you, I personally like the Inspira route. You are so thin and fit with very little breast tissue and that implant produces less rippling than the style 10. I agree with both physicians that you shouldn't try to go much larger. It is important to get a good result with the first surgery. If the size isn't quite as big as you'd like, it will be easy to go back and replace with a larger implant in the future. Best of luck!

Answer: Breast augmentation candidate, some advices: Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. I prefer using the Cohesive Gel - Silicón Breast Implants with textured cover ("gummy bear implants") They are quite safe and aesthetically best as they give a firmer consistency, better projection and natural appearance.To place the implants, I recommend making the incision through the areola (leaving an unnoticed scar) in conjunction with a Round Block Areolar Reduction to get an appropiate areolar diameter, with a minimal and hidden scar (a circumference line surrounding the areola).The breast feeding chances can be affected to a lesser or greater proportion, depending of the surgical manipulation made in the mammary gland and areolas during the procedure. In my practice, I try to be as delicate as possible, preserving the integrity of the gland and areolas. Therefore, I recommend a certified plastic surgeon with experience in such cases and with special training in breast surgery.Respectfully, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol.-

Answer: Choosing the right sized breast implants I appreciate your concern, because size does matter when seeking a natural looking result in breast augmentation. I ask my patients to bring in photos of breasts the size they desire, because there can otherwise be confusion because B or C cup can vary greatly by brassiere manufactures! I also utilize the implant in the bra technique, with several different implant sizes with a tighter fitting T-shirt to get an idea of what you will look like. Finally, I prefer to meet with my breast implant patients at least twice before surgery, so I am confident that I know exactly what her desires regarding shape and size are. I then have several sized implants in the patient's desired range available in the OR to allow me to tailor the operation to her needs. Be certain your surgeon understands your desires and you should do great as this operation carries a very high satisfaction rate. Good luck!

Answer: Natural breasts in the slender patient. Thanks for your question and the photos. There are always trade offs in a slender patient such as yourself. When there is little natural breast tissue implants of any kind are less well hidden. In my approach to the slender patient I recommend three things:Common sense size.Under the muscle.Silicone.For your concern on base width I suggest you have your ps have you try on implant sizers. A gentle curve under the arm which balances with the curve of the hip is what I look for.For your concern about cleavage, most plastic surgeons will place implants as close to the midline as possible, but how close they get in a submuscular placement will depend upon the insertion of your muscles. We do not like to elevate the sternal insertion of the pec muscle as this can cause synmastia or breadloafing.With respect to the size, your goal images are between a low and moderate profile, again , trying on sizers can help you with this decision. You may also want to consider a Mentor cohesive implant. I find the shell is softer and may look more natural in the slender patient.I hope this helps and I have included a sizing link as well.
