I obviously have a really small frame (4'10, 90lbs) and i am looking toward saline implants under the muscle. I am not looking to achieve a huge final result so my question is if saline under the muscle would be a good option? I honestly just want to be able to fit in my clothes properly. I have a consultation coming up in a few weeks & im trying to get some info and advice. Cup size is about 32 aa

Answer: Breast Augmentation in a small frame Hi and thank you for your question and picture. You have a tuberous breast deformity of both sides with asymmetry. What this means is that you are not a straightforward breast augmentation. You will require additional work to free up and release the inferior aspect of your breast to produce a pleasing result. This all being said, yes, saline or silicone implants under the muscle should be able to give you a nice result. Good Luck!

Answer: Tuberous Breast Deformity Correction Thank you for your question. Based on your photos, you have evidence of tuberous breast deformity. Your breast augmentation procedure will not be standard. It will take you longer than average to see the final results of your procedure. To get a good outcome, you will need submuscular placement of saline or silicone implants with radial release and scoring of the inferior pole breast tissue which tends to be constricted. The skin of the bottom of the breast is also constricted so it will need time to stretch out to assume a rounder shape. Once the skin has stretched and the implants have settled, you may need a peri-areolar mastopexy with stabilization of the scar with a purse-string suture to prevent scar widening. This may be needed to flatten out the out pouching of the nipple-areolar area. This can be done at the same time as the augmentation or in a delayed fashion. There are several other variations to addressing this kind of deformity such as using shaped implants, internal tissue expansion, or external tissue expansion with fat grafting. Consider an in person consultation with a couple of surgeons and review tuberous breast deformity correction photos to make an informed decision. Best wishes.
