Originally thinking silicone-now afraid due to the cost of MRI's for ruptures/surgery to repair silicone. What do you think my best saline options are for more volume, less wide cleavage, retaining nipple sensation, avoiding sutures at the nipple or vertical scars. I am willing to go under muscle if this is the best. Have my first appointment with a board certified PS, but would love to hear some feedback before this. 52 years old, 6' tall, 125#, walk on treadmill. Nursed 3 kids, lost 25-30#
Answer: Saline Implants? Thank you for your question! For a more natural look you may want to consider gel implants under the muscle. Make sure you find a board certified plastic surgeon and discuss your expectations. Best of luck!Dr Dhaval PatelDouble Board Certified Plastic SurgeonChicago Hoffman EstatesOak Brook

Answer: Can I re-inlfate my breasts Implants are a nice way to add more volume and fill in some of the tissue that has been stretched out after nursing and weight loss; however, you may need to address some of the loose tissue. If this tissue is ignored, you risk the tissue to hang off the implant. The other concern that you might have is nipple location. The best option for you would be to have an augmentation with either saline or silicone and a classic breast lift ( mastopexy).

Answer: Silicone gel implants are a better aesthetic choice in thin women. You certainly can you saline implants to reinflate your breasts but the likelihood of seeing contour irregularities is substantial relative to silicone gel.

Answer: Reinflate floppy breasts with saline implants Thank you for your question. Because you are very thin if you choose saline breast implants it is important that they be placed beneath your chest muscle to reduce the chance of visible rippling. My big concern in a very thin person without excess breast tissue is visible rippling of the saline breast implant. However since you are concerned about the dangers of silicone rupture most likely saline is a better option for you.
