How many cc can I safely go? (Photo)

Question

Hi, I’m 38 years old 5ft 2in and approximately 63kg. I’m wanting to have a mastopexy with implants. I’m currently a 32D (uk) size, 2 years ago I was a 32G (uk) size, but after loosing weight it all seemed to disappear off my breasts and I’m left with a lot of excess skin. I prefer the look of high profile implants to give more volume in the upper pole but the width of my breasts seem to be quite large. How many cc would be safe for me to go to refill the lost volume from my breasts?

Thanks for the question. The implant volume depends on the several factors and your breast base and tissue envelope are two most important determinants. You have to be mindful of the projection you are looking for at the end of treatment. Also consider sub pectoral placement of implant and you can discuss the option of supporting your tissue with synthetic absorbable mesh like Galaflex to achieve longer lasting results. a trial of sizers will give you good idea on the volume that is looking good on your frame and 3D simulations can also help.

For safe breast implant size, your breast base is important. For first augmentation is under the muscle, we can put up to 400cc if your breast base is suitable. Also, you need to do breast uplift procedure together.

You seem to have quite a bit breast tissue, though they are low set. You will definitely benefit from a round silicone implant during your mastopexy to have fill the upper breast poles permanently. You will probably do not need a very large implant but giving a size is not possible before measuring your breast width. I would suggest a sub pectoral implant with central pedicle mast-pest to achieve a good projection.
