Got my breast implants 2 years ago 34B to 34D (375cc saline overfill to 450cc) I want about 600cc or so (a visibly larger look), I also would like implants with more upper pole fullness and less "side boob" so I'm thinking of switching to high profile implants. But I also want my boobs to be closer together, how can a surgeon achieve that? And will my next breast implant job be more or less expensive? (No cc, no rippling, I had no complications whatsoever I just want to get them bigger!!)

Answer: I want bigger implants Just remember when choosing high profile implants the entire diameter is smaller so not only will you have less lateral fullness (side boob), you will have less cleavage. Going with larger Round Moderate Profile implants would be your best bet. Do your implants fall into your arm pits when you lay on your back? If so, you may benefit from a Capsulorrhaphy. This procedure will tighten and add extra support to the lateral aspect of the breast. Therefore, giving more cleavage and more upper pole fullness. And yes, in most cases a revision is more costly than the initial surgery.

Answer: Implants are not enough At size 34 D each 100 cc’s of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. If you are not satisfied with the results after your 450 cc implants, 150 cc more will not be an improvement. Your biggest problem is that your breasts are too far apart and low. You need your breasts repositioned higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. I recommend a technique called Breast Augmentation with Mini Ultimate Breast LiftTM. Using a circumareola incision it is possible to reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Aligning the areola, breast tissue and implant over the bony prominence of the chest wall maximizes anterior projection with a minimal size implant. Small round textured silicone gel implants placed retro-pectoral look and feel more natural, are more stable, less likely to ripple or have complications needing revision. This procedure is more expensive than implant alone since it is more complex and takes more time.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Improvements in Shape and Size are possible Hi there-In cases where all that is necessary is to simply remove implants and place larger ones, it is reasonable to expect that the costs of surgery would be less than the original operation.On the other hand, you sound clear that you are not in fact pleased with the shape of your breasts, and also have as a goal to achieve a better position of the breasts with relation to the center of your body, in order to achieve less "side boob" and better cleavage.On this case, it is important that you find someone skilled in revisional procedures and expect the costs to most likely be higher than the original procedure...Obviously, it would be impossible for me to ethically and responsibly estimate costs for you without a careful discussion, examination, and review of options- and so the best I can do is recommend that you find an excellent surgeon and visit them for a consultation.
