Do I have enough breast tissue between my nipple and crease to achieve natural looking breasts with lower pole fullness?

Question

I like my current shape, but would like more volume, and as much correction to my asymmetry as possible.

John Mesa, MD · Answer

Even patients with almost no breast tissue are candidates for breast augmentation.In order to maintain a "natural looking breast with lower pole fullness" ("normal breast for european standards" patients should consider undergoing breast augmentation with wither a low or moderate profile  or anatomically shaped breast implants. These kind of patients should refrain from undergoing breast augmentation with a high profile breast implant because this will give significant upper pole fullness in addition to lower pole fullness, thus delivering an "normal" looking breast for "american standards" (eg. Pamela Anderson or Nicki Minaj-like breasts are considered "normal looking breast" in America)

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your
photograph, you are a great candidate for a breast augmentation.  You have some nipple placement asymmetry in this photograph, which will still be present after your surgery.  However, I still think you will have a nice result. The most important aspect is to find
a surgeon you are comfortable with. With good surgical technique, you could
have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a
qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

From the photos you posted, I believe you could achieve your desired results with breast augmentation alone. If necessary implants of different sizes could be used to address the asymmetry.

Yes, I think that you have enough tissue to have natural looking breasts. No one is identical, but you are symmetrical. Your left areola could be elevated along with an augmentation. Your breasts are close together, so you should have excellent cleavage. You also have enough natural breast tissue to look very natural. Good luck!

You have all the ingedients to get a good result from breast augmentation.  Two different sized implants placed in front of your muscles will give you your best and most natural result

Zachary Farris, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question.  Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for breast augmentation which can enhance fullness at your lower and upper poles.   Be sure to consult with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon and mention your preference for a natural looking result.  Good luck!

Hi and thanks for your question and posted photo. You are a good candidate for breast augmentation, the shape is well defined, implants will fill both the lower and the upper pole. An in person examination is necessary to see how important the assimetry you have is but it can be corrected. Best wishes.Dr. Milla

Hello and thank you for your question. You appear to have sufficient tissue for the standard   breast augmentation procedure.  A final decision would need to be made after an in person consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Over time the implant will expand the lower pole of the breast through stretch. Make sure you consult with a plastic surgeon to determine the size of the breast implant based on your tissue characteristics.Asymmetry can be a difficult problem to correct. Often breast augmentation alone cannot correct this, however your surgeon can discuss with you what is realistic and possible given your anatomy.  good luck!

Mark A. Schusterman, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question.  Yes it does appear that you will have enough tissue to obtain a nice result from a breast augmentation.  A full evaluation by a board certified plastic surgeon should give you all the answers you need to make an informed decision.  Best of luck.
