Bora Ok, MD · Answer

Hi from Istanbul! A higher-profile breast implant can assist, but it won't fully address the concern because it's rooted in the inherent structure of your skin. For the desired cleavage and to address the excess skin, a combination of a lift and fat injections alongside the fuller implants would be more effective. Best of luck, I hope this helps.

I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. 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.

Higher profile implants have a narrower base and project more forward, which can provide more fullness and cleavage, especially in women with a smaller frame.

Make sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon well versed in breast implant revisions.

I hope this helps,
Best of luck !

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

Going with a larger implant will add more weight to your breast tissue and skin which previously thinned and stretched out and may do so again. Increasing the profile is not always a good answer. Your tissue has relaxed and stretched. You could consider minimally invasive skin tightening with Renuvion, or another lift. However, you will still stretch with time.

Make a quality assessment regarding the outcome of any plastic surgery procedure we always need to see a complete set of proper before and after pictures. If you don’t have before, and after pictures and ask your surgeon to forward the pictures they took.
Implant augmentation does not move where your breast on your chest wall.
 High profile implants, give more projection and reduce the diameter at the cost of more projection. 
If you’re unhappy with the results of your procedure, then follow up with your provider or schedule in person second opinion consultations. For a second opinion, consultations come prepared to bring with you to complete settle before and after pictures and a copy of your operative report. These are available from your previous provider if you request them.
