25 years old, require uplift and enlargement - had one child and breast fed for 6 months. 5ft 7 and 9 stone. Can anyone advise what size this would take me to? I'm worried 400cc will be very large and look fake with it being high profile? Surgeon said it will be partial. Anybody similar size and have before / after pics? Also been advised 10 days for heeling then can return to work is this correct? Also how do you find out about aftercare, insurance on offer?
Answer: What size would this take you to? It is very difficult to determine the best size you will need (recommended based on your photos) or the exact size and shape implant you will require to best match your ideal breast image without an examination by a board certified plastic surgeon. Not just any board certified plastic surgeon, but one with many years of frequently performing breast augmentation surgery including different approaches, techniques and implant choices. This is because several measurements not to mention your breast characteristics are needed to determine the optimal implant size to obtain your goals. Without knowing these dimensions it would be difficult to make this determination. For example, the existing base width of your breast will determine, in many cases, the maximal volume per implant profile that you can accommodate. To illustrate; a 100 cc difference may make a significant difference with a narrow base width breast, but much less of a difference if you have a wide chest wall and wide breast “foot print”. Therefore, just because your friend may have a great result with let’s say a 300 cc implant to make her go from a “A” cup to a “C” cup size does not mean that you will have the same result with the same size implant. The same process goes for just filling in the upper part of your breast without becoming much larger. Further simply placing implants in a bra to determine the size best for you is not always accurate as the bra often distorts the size, is dependent on the pressure the bra places plus the implant is outside your breast and not under it among other variables. Computer software morphing programs that automatically determine the best implant size can be helpful in some but not all cases (e.g. doesn’t work well in my experience with existing implants, sagging or asymmetric breasts). Using “want to be” photos however are useful if simply provided to the surgeon as I will further explain in the link below including silicone vs saline implant

Answer: What size will I be? Thanks for this important question. The 400 cc breast implant is one of the most popular sizes I use in my practice. It consistently delivers nice volume that patients perceive as just right - not too big or too small. However, every one is different in terms of their body appearance, so the best resource to tell you where you will be after this size, in terms of cup, is your plastic surgeon. Best, Dr. ALDO

Answer: Mentor Memory Gel 400cc high profile round. What size would this take me to? Thank you for the question. Despite your good description of body type and goals, online consultants will not be able to provide you with specific enough advice to be truly helpful. Ultimately, careful communication of your goals (in my practice I prefer the use of goal pictures, direct examination/communication in front of a full-length mirror, in bra sizers, and computer imaging) as well as careful measurements (dimensional planning) will be critical.There is no accurate/reliable/predictable correlation between size/profile breast implant utilized and cup size achieved. For example, I do not think that the generalizations of "200 cc equates to 1 cup" hold any validity or are helpful in any specific or practical way.

Answer: Mentor Memory Gel 400cc high profile round. What size would this take me to? A very general often quoted idea is that 150-200cc of implant will increase you by one cup size in the same style and manufacturer of bra that you currently wear. To learn more about sizing please read below:
