Does the Natrelle inspira ssx 400 look fake?

Question

I am seeing a surgeon who doesnt seem to listen to me. He is recommending ssx 400. I am 5'4" and 120lbs. Small frame minimal breast tissue A cup. I want a full natural mid c. I want it to look as natural as possible and avoid the round fake appearance. I'm concerned about the extra high projection looking fake.

Thanks for your question!  Looking "fake" vs "natural" is very subjective.  I have some patients looking for natural and then once we start diving in a little deeper towards their goals, we end up with a fuller projecting implant.  I think you should very clearly state your goals and what you want to your plastic surgeon.  He knows your dimensions, body, etc. better than anyone else (other than you of course).  Good luck!

Hello and thank you for your question. I actually just answered a similar question you posted. Unfortunately, a formal in-person evaluation would still be needed to determine the best treatment.

For those who have not seen my answer to your other question, here are the reasons for this: 
1) Bra sizes vary based on the clothing store (for example, Victoria's Secret tends to upsize everyone by a whole cup size)
2) Most women do not wear the proper exact fitting bra size for their bodies
3) The exact volume (in cc) needed to change cup size is different for different body types (e.g. 32A to 32D requires a different implant size than 38A to 38D)
4) Be careful NOT to fall into the trap most women do- they see a certain implant size (e.g. 285 cc) or perhaps their friend had a certain size, and they want or request this or another size based on that. Everyone's body is different- 285 cc implants on your friend might look VERY different than they would on you. Be very careful not to make this mistake, because the goal is to find the right size and shape for YOU- for your particular body and your breasts.

Because of those multiple factors, and because it is KEY to fully evaluate your breasts in person to make a full set of precise measurements to select the proper implant for you (incorporating factors like amount of breast tissue, implant type, base width, projection, etc), answering your question really would need a formal personalized consultation- to say anything before that would simply be guessing, which would be both unfair and unhelpful to you. Also, just FYI, each surgeon's measurements are slightly different, so numbers, experience, and overall aesthetic from one surgeon aren't necessarily the same as those from another surgeon!

Your breasts are such a KEY area of your body and your femininity- therefore, you should ONLY trust an experienced aesthetic plastic surgeon. As such an expert, I have had extensive training and experience with complex aesthetic surgeries under a multiple world-renowned experts in the field. I’d recommend for you to setup a formal consultation with me (or another plastic surgeon who is extremely comfortable with aesthetic plastic surgery procedures) for a formal consultation to thoroughly discuss your surgical goals, undergo a formal examination, evaluate all your options (surgical and nonsurgical), and decide on the best procedure(s) and type of anesthesia for your specific case. I hope this helps!

Very Good questionChoice of implant size and shape is important, and your input makes all the difference. Most plastic surgeons have a system for giving patients an idea of what a given volume of implant will effect their breast shape. My preferred system is breast sizers that fit in your bra. You just try on the sizers and look in the mirror. Other offices take 3D images and simulate the augmentation with a computer.  In response to your main question, 400cc implants would be very prominent on your petite frame. There is nothing wrong with that, but it sounds like you would like a more subtle augmentation. I would go to a practice where you can try on different sizes, and you can make a confident choice. Matthew C. Camp MD

Choosing your implant size carefully is very important. Most patients complain of not going big enough. Consult your physician on why they chose this implant for you. Without measurements or photos it is hard to give further recommendation. Get a second opinion to be sure you choose a board certified surgeon you are most comfortable and confident with prior to scheduling surgery. Good luck!

Choosing an implant size is very personal.  Every woman has different goals as well as past experience.  There are a few good rules to remember.  As you go up in size you will look more fake and you need to use an implant with a diameter that fits your chest.  Every surgeon has a method for sizing.  My preferred method is to have a patient try on implant sizer to see what size gives them the "look" they are seeking.  Once you know how much size you want, then you have to see what implant profile will fit this on your chest.  You should be comfortable with your selection before going to surgery.Best WishesDr. Peterson

The "fake look" is a vague term.  Without photos it is more difficult to make specific recommendations. X profile implants in general are a more round implant.  The less breast tissue you posses and the more projecting the implant such as a X the rounder or more "fake" you will appear.
