Is a moderate classic profile my best option to obtain a full, natural look when considering my breast width (13.4 cm)? (Photo)

Dear Katie,    Thanks for submitting your picture. From observing your picture, you appear to be  small A cup size with left breast slightly bigger than right breast.    To become full C cup size , you will need implants with volume of 450 cc. For 34 small D - 500 cc. Due to the size asymmetry, you will need a little less volume in the left breast.   As far as implants type, I have been in practice for over 29 years and performed breasts augmentation surgery with implants on thousands of patients. Many of them are mothers and daughter as well as sisters. It is inconceivable  that they would have referred their family, if they would have been unhappy with the outcome. I use almost exclusively, smooth, round , moderate profile saline implants made by Mentor.   The reasons for that preference are too many to discuss in this session, but I will be glad to provide them to you if you contact me.   Not all results are the same, because experience, skills and aesthetic eye are critical for good outcome. So, do your due diligence carefully and choose your surgeon wisely, in order to avoid bad result and need for corrective surgery.   Always, consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly, check the before and after pictures in the photo gallery, to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive with nice cleavage, perky, symmetrical and natural looking.                          Best of luck,                                              Dr Widder

A moderate profile breast implant may create the beautiful, natural results that you desire. You may also have great results from a different size and/or profile of breast implant though. As you note, your plastic surgeon’s recommendation is based on the width of your natural breast and the breast size you want to achieve. Since you’re having doubts, you may want to seek a second opinion from another plastic surgeon about the best size and profile for your goals or try rice sizers at home to get an idea about which size of breast implant may be right for you.

Hello!

The best option for you is to be sized with implant sizers to get an idea of what the different implant sizes will look like after surgery. I find this type of sizing is important to having my patients understand what they will achieve in fullness between different volumes and profiles (moderate vs. moderate plus). Some type of simulation can and should be done.

Good luck!
