Implant revision - how to decide between 960 M+ or 775 Gel boost? Age 37 - no kids - 5’10” - 203LBs (Photo)

Question

This is a follow up question to my previous post. I had a breast reduction in January 2022, I was a 42 M. 11LBs was removedI 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 breasts, a more rounded look.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

Don't go bigger. Your tissue that was stretched out before your reduction will stretch again with heavy implants. You will find yourself getting another lift and still sagging. Keep what you have.  Your breasts sit a little low on your chest and your will not keep the rounded look even with larger implants.

To make it quality assessment regarding the outcome of any plastic surgery procedure we need to have complete information.
This means having access to a complete set of proper before and after pictures.
For individuals who’ve had multiple procedures we need to see before and after pictures of each of your previous operations, to put everything into context.
The more operations you’ve had the more complex, the history and the more important it is to have complete information.
 There are a lot of variable to take in the consideration.
Using excessively large implants will inevitably create an increase chance of undesirable side effects, complications, and need for revision surgery.
I recognize you’ve had a difficult surgical past with complications from previous procedures.
If the goal was to reduce the size of your breast, then I question why you’re working with such large implants?
Choosing excessively large implants is asking for trouble down the road.
At this point you are beyond getting second opinion consultations by posting on the Internet.
If you need in person second opinion consultations or need more assistance than is being provided for you by your current surgeon then schedule those as in person second opinion consultations. 
For a second opinion, consultations come prepared bring you with you a complete set of proper before and after pictures and previous operative reports.
If you don’t have these, then ask your previous surgeons to forward the pictures and operative reports from your medical records.
Best,
