Implant revision - how to decide between 960 M+ or 775 Gel boost? (Photo)

Question

I had a breast reduction in January 2022, I was a 42 M. 11LBs was removed. I had a lot of complications following the procedure and lost a lot of volume. I had 650cc mentor HP implants put in last March. I went in a D came out a D. I am redoing them next month and can’t decide between 960 M+ or 775 Gel boost. I can’t seem to find any pictures of the difference. I want bigger but I want a fuller look in the top of my beasts above the nipple. Given the 960 fill would M+ give that full look?

Implant revision: deciding between size and profiles.

Thank you for writing. It would help to have more information regarding your measurements such as how tall are you, how much do you weigh, what size bra do you wear, what is your chest measurement?

For do you prefer breasts that are rounder on your chest like a grapefruit or more projecting with less breast on the side of your chest. The profile of the implant in your case high and extra high are a tradeoff for the diameter of the breast given the same volume. With a previous reduction or lift, it is easier to use the existing incision to better shape the breast. 
Secondary breast surgery can be complex and needs to be done by an experienced plastic surgeon. At the Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery, Dr. Horowitz has a special interest and extensive experience each over the past 25 years in secondary, or “redo” cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery. They are often referred patients treated by other plastic surgeons to correct and improve upon patients with preexisting implants and often combine additional surgeries such as a breast lift using advanced minimal scar techniques (e.g. peri areolar (donut), or “lollipop” short scar technique), Liposuction or other aesthetic procedures. Please schedule an appoint with us for an examination and personal evaluation Dr. Horowitz advises the best course of action based on each patient’s individual circumstances.

Do not go bigger. You are not supporting what you now have and will not support heavier implants. On your side view, you can see you are bottoming out now.  Do not go bigger.
