Guidance on breast implant choices: fluffy, natural look for 5'5, 55kg frame? (Photos)

As a breast augmentation specialist, I recommend a moderate profile for you to achieve a natural look. High-profile implants in the 260-300cc range may result in a smaller diameter relative to your chest width, potentially creating a wider space between the breasts. Despite your wish pictures, a more natural outcome tailored to your unique conditions is possible. Clear communication is essential to ensure a personalized and satisfying result. If you have any specific concerns or questions, feel free to discuss them further.

Hello, yes, with 255-355 cc high profile and the shape of your current breasts, in a dual plane, you will get the result of the photos of your desires without a doubt.

Dear Luchi26,
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.

From your photo you appear to be a good candidate for breast augmentation. Your goals of a natural, full breast are achievable. A high or ultra high profile implant will give you more of a rounded, "fake" look. Having the implant placed under the muscle will help achieve a more natural look. I've included a video on implant selection that I hope you find helpful.

Thank you for your question and the photos. I do not like the HP profile b/c I think that it looks very round and unnatural. I use the Sientra implants and for your frame and desired look, I would use a Moderate or possibly Moderate Plus implant. The size range seems appropriate. Best of Luck!

I recommend using 3D breast implant imaging to help choose an implant that fits your goals. The technology can be controlled for implant shape, profile, and volume.

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.

Thank you for your question and photos. As a general rule, a more natural appearance will be obtained with a moderate or moderate plus projection implant, rather than high profile. This is not an absolute. If you are concerned with being too large or fake looking, make sure you discuss this with your surgeon. If you remain insecure or unsure, consider a consultation with another surgeon. Your clues should be the website Before and After gallery. Share photos with your surgeon of what you hope to look likes and see if you feel confident that he or she can accomplish that goal for you. If not, get a second or even third opinion. Best of luck.

Choosing the right breast implant size and profile is a highly personal decision. Given your concerns about achieving a natural look on your frame, it's crucial to communicate openly with your surgeon. Share your aesthetic goals, and consider getting a second opinion from another experienced surgeon.

Consider discussing with your surgeon the option of moderate profile implants, as they often provide a more natural look. Also, review before-and-after photos to ensure the surgeon's work aligns with your desired outcome. It's essential to feel confident in your decision and have a clear understanding of what can be achieved based on your initial breast shape.

Best of luck !

Implants are chosen based on your measurements. Have your doctor show you patients with your measurements and the implants he is recommening to see if their shape is what you want.
