Is 260cc big enough? (photos)

You have a small frame, so 260cc implants would more than likely give you the volume you are looking for. However, you do need a lift. Please know that breast implants cannot and will not lift breasts. Subpectoral implants without a lift will create a double bubble appearance. A dual plane approach will eventually make the implant 'blow out' to the sides with weightlifting. An implant above the muscle and without a lift will make your breasts too low and the implant will not have any support. Please visit the breast implant revision forum on this site to get more information. Please do not be afraid of a lift. Breast lifts no longer require the vertical incision that is so unsightly and prone to dehiscence.I hope this information helps you make the best choice for you.Kind regards,Gary Horndeski M.D.

Hi SXP,I think you are on the right track, because your words of what you want seem to match your below average implant size.  See the excellent answer below by Dr. Andrade.  Size choice is perhaps the hardest decision to make because this is perhaps the hardest decision for a
patient to make, as well as the surgeon. Cup size estimates can be misleading,
but I generally advise patients that they will experience an increase of
approximately one cup size per 200 cc. You can try on implants in the office by
placing them into a special bra.Approximately 50 cc (1-2 oz.) is added to the final volume to account
for flattening of the implant in the partial sub-muscular pocket. Once you
decide on a size you like, then add on about 25-50 cc, because in real life the
implant will be flattened slightly by your tissues.Multiple measurements need to be taken to fit
an implant to your exact anatomy. Have your surgeon's office show you the
charts of the implant dimensions for the various profiles of silicone and
saline from the manufacturer. Then you and your surgeon can piece
together the puzzle by matching your measurements, with your wishes, versus
your tissue cover and the available implants to arrive at a surgical plan.Keep in mind larger implants tend to have
more problems over the years.Since
silicone implants wrinkle less than saline implants, they might be your best
bet.You have some relaxation of your tissue, so be sure to talk to your PS about this.You can
also approximate this at home by measuring out an equivalent amount of rice
placed into a cutoff foot of old panty-hose, and put this in your bra.Wear this around the house for a while, and
see what you think.Implant size must
square with assessments of tissue cover, breast diameter, and chest wall width. Multiple measurements
of your chest wall are taken (seven in total). Implant size selection has been an issue of much discussion. Therefore, I use a wide variety of methods, but the implant size is
always established preoperatively.Also,
patients are advised to bring reference photos demonstrating their ideal size
and shape. A photo album of patient pictures is maintained to assist them.
These photos ultimately help in determining where the implants will be placed,
since they can be shifted inside (to provide more cleavage), to the outside, up
or superiorly, and down or inferiorly during surgery. In determining the final
size selection, I always place the highest priority on the preoperative
measurements and potential tissue cover. Then, the patient’s verbal requests
are factored into the analysis.Our
average size over the last 7,000 implants was 350. We use the quick recovery approach, so click on the
web reference link below to have this explained.Be sure to see only a board certified
plastic surgeon (by ABPS - The American Board of Plastic Surgery) who is a
member of ASAPS (The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery) and or a
member of ASPS (The American Society of Plastic Surgeons). Also, ask if they
have an established, high volume breast augmentation practice, performing
several hundred breast augmentations each year. Be sure the PS has been in
practice for a while, 20-years or more might be a good gauge.Does the PS offer all three incisions?Discuss the implant type (gel or saline),
shaped "gummy bear" or non-shaped, smooth or textured, implant pocket
(over or under the muscle) and the "quick recovery approach."Ask to see their before and after photos if
you didn’t see any on their website. If they are experienced, they should
have several 100 breast implant patients for you to view. I would also
recommend that your doctor offer you the chance to talk to past patients who
would be happy to discuss their experience with you. You need to feel
comfortable, so make sure the environment is safe as in an accredited surgery
center. Also, ask a prospective surgeon if he or she has ever published journal
articles in professional peer-reviewed journals, which they can provide
you.All
the best, “Dr. Joe”

I don't think 260cc implants are large enough. I also think you may need a breast lift if you want the nipple position to be centered over the implant like the wish picture. I would recommend another consultation with your plastic surgeon. Good luck!

Hello, when looking at before and after photos it is important to look at the before photo to see if the person's breasts look the same as yours.  If their nipple position, breast shape, skin tone etc are all different, it might not be possible to achieve the same result.  

Hi.. thank you for the question and photos.. Evaluating your case, I suggest you to speak with your future PS, because breast Ptosis is not corrected with breast implants only.... it need Lift, to avoid skin sagging.
