I’m 26, 152 pds & 5’7. I’m considering a breast augmentation to get the full/round look. Any suggestions? Under or over muscle? What cc’s?
Answer: Are you sure you want a breast augmentation?? Thank you for your question and photos. An evaluation person would be required to properly advise you, however form your photos you appear to have very pretty and well proportioned breasts with minimal sagging or ptosis. If you are convinced that you would be happier being larger breasted, please keep in mind several points. 1. A large breasted woman who is anything but super thin ends up looking more like a "full figured" gal and not every woman likes that idea. 2. The larger your breasts the more difficult you may find it to find proper fitting bras and bathing suits, and may begin encountering interference with sports (running, tennis, golf), and ultimately experience neck, back and shoulder discomfort, the typical symptoms we encounter in women who seek a breast reduction. 3. If you have not had children but are considering getting pregnant in the future, your breasts may enlarge and stay larger, at which point you will be sorry you have implants. It is also true that after one or more pregnancies your breasts may enlarge and then get smaller than pre-pregnancy, at which point implants are often recommended for the "mommy makeover".

Answer: Size Every lady has her idea of what "full" is. I would suggest meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon, being examined and measured, and trying on the range of sizes that best fits your frame and tissue. Then, you can decide what you actually like.

Answer: Wanting full, round look after breast augmentation Thank you for your question. The specific implant size and shape will be determined after an in-person consultation with a plastic surgeon, because sizing of implants involves taking detailed breast measurements, assessing tissue thickness and skin tone, etc. For patients tho have mild sagging but ample breast tissue (as appears to be the case with your photos) I typically suggest implant placed in front of the muscle (subfascial/subglandular plane), but your surgeon would give advice based on their assessment.

Answer: Breast augmentation Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You are a great candidate for breast augmentation. The selection of the ideal implant for you is best done in person after an evaluation by a board certified plastic surgeon. A number of measurements are required to find the right implant that matches your individual goals. A dual-plane placement may be a good idea for you. I hope this helps.

Answer: Mini lift with fat transfers or small implants The technique I recommend is a mini lift. Using a circumareola incision, your breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. At the same time, fat transfers or small implants can be placed totally submuscular.

Answer: Full round look Hello, thank you for you question. Usually when patients say the "full round" look we immediately think of High profile type implants. The size of implant is based on how wide your chest wall is. So I would not be able to determine this just on photos. The over and under the muscle depends on the discussion you have with your plastic surgeon. I typically go under the muscle to provide long term support of the implant and less of a risk of capsular contracture.
