Breast Implants for Petite Woman. (Photo)

Thanks for your question and pictures.  It appears that you would be an excellent candidate for a breast augmentation and should get a very nice result.  Shape, size, and profile of implants will all be determined at the time of consultation based on chest measurements done by a board certified plastic surgeon.  Silicone implants are great devices and are an excellent choice for your augmentation.  Inframammary incisions (fold under breasts) typically heal well but even if they do thicken, they will be well hidden.  Keloid scars can be treated with steroid injections.  The central portion of the chest is a common area for people to form keloids, even if they don't form poor scars elsewhere.  Good luck!

For natural appearing breasts, I prefer to use silicone implants of a moderate plus profile placed in the dual plane (submuscular) position. Higher profiles tend to give you a more rounded, shelf appearance. It's hard to determine your best size without specific breast measurements and an in person exam. Remember to choose a board certified plastic surgeon who actually takes the time to measure you and examine your breast pocket. The goal of breast augmentation is to optimally fill your breast pocket, not to overstuff or understuff it. At my practice, we utilize a series of 5 breast measurements that help me determine the implant size, which in turn helps me deliver a 24 hour recovery. Do your research and choose a surgeon who takes the time to sit down with you and discuss your goals/expectations to determine the best size for you. Remember that sizers will only give you a rough estimate. Also, keloids can be excised but often return so best to use steroid injections to flatten them. I use an incision in the breast fold so it isn't very noticeable even if it does become a bit thicker. Good luck!

The interpretation of
"natural looking" varies greatly from patient to patient and from
surgeon to surgeon. Based on your photos, you should potentially get an excellent result from a breast augmentation.The
best cosmetic result in any particular breast augmentation patient depends on a
variety of factors, including: your individual anatomy, desired outcome, realistic
expectations, a thorough discussion with the plastic surgeon about the options,
and an understanding of the pros and cons of any particular implant choice.
Proper sizing is not just about the number of cc’s. The thickness of your
tissue, breast dimensions which include the width, height, and projection, as
well as chest wall width all need to be considered when choosing an implant.
Trying on implant “sizers” of various shapes and volumes while wearing a tight
t-shirt, bra, or bathing suit at a preoperative visit will help you and your
surgeon choose the optimal implant.Keloids can generally be improved with a small local injection of a steroid.Keep in mind that following
the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you
exactly what to do without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your
desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and
cons of each operative procedure would not be in your best interest. I would
suggest you find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic
Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic
Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss
your concerns with that surgeon in person.Robert Singer, MD FACSLa Jolla, California
