Will these implants achieve a good result as I have a wide breast and nipple already?

Question

37, slight asymmetry, around 34b but right is smaller and gapes the cup. Looking at 325/375cc mentor HP IMPLANTS. Will these achieve a good result as I have a wide breast and nipple already? Also even tho I am 21cm equal triangle measurement will sizing up the right breast make my right nipple not be on the same place? Can attach photos

After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon' s experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what is right for them.

Unfortunately without photos or an exam it's difficult to render a recommendation.  I encourage you to visit a few board certified plastic surgeons near you for consultations.  Review credentials and look at before/after photos before selecting the surgeons.  Discuss your goals for surgery and listen to varying opinions.

Dear sjk4425,
breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.

Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs.  However, if your breast are widely separated then the implants have to be centered underneath the widely separated nipple-areola complex.  This often results in the breasts looking outward laterally and will be unstable mechanically.  You may need 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, small implants can be placed totally submuscular.

Best Wishes,

You did not post photos, but for many women, the size you selected looks very nice. If you are a true 34 B, this size should make you a nice D cup.
