I have mild ptosis, about 1cm below the crease. What size/type implant is best without having to get a lift? My measurements are: sternal notch to nipple- 21cm; ribcage- 28in.; ribspan- 25.5cm; bwd- 12cm. I would like to be a D cup. I'm thinking Mentor smooth round hp with 400-425cc under the muscle. What are your opinions?
