How long is the recovery time before returning to work. I move around a lot at work. Always on my feet
Answer: Breast Implant Options Hello, Thank you for the question and photos. It looks like you are starting from a great place and can expect nice, natural results. Silicone cohesive gel implants are "gummy bear" in nature. The non-liquid, gel form is standard for silicone. Most of my patients prefer these, in round shape, for their natural look and feel. You may also wish to discuss anatomically shaped implants as well, though there are additional concerns/risks with these that you will want to discuss with your Plastic Surgeon to ensure that they are the right choice for you. Your Plastic Surgeon will measure your breasts carefully and recommend a small range of implant sizes which will fit you and also provide the "look" you are going for. My patients find it helpful to try on the implant sizers in the office with a form-fitting T-Shirt in order to get an idea of how they will look.Be sure to choose a board certified Plastic Surgeon who's before and after photos appeal to you.All the best

Answer: BA A 325 cc moderate profile plus implant sounds about right for your desires - a natural look and not too big. A smooth round silicone gel implant under the muscle is a a good technique to give you a nice shape with a tapered upper pole. If you are concerned with the pec muscle causing implant motion, then a subglandular (over the muscle) textured shaped implant (gummy bear) would be your best bet. Need 1-2 weeks to recovery.

Answer: Implant choices It is important to realize that the ultimate breast size and shape depend upon so very many variables. A 300 cc implant on a petite woman with a thin frame may look quite large, but that same implant in an overweight woman may be barely noticeable. Size and shape of the result depend upon the volume of the implant, the shape of the implant, if it is over or under the muscle, your skin and its resilience, stretch marks, the degree of breast sagging, chest circumference, amount and distribution of the natural breast tissue, etc. For this reason, it is impossible to give reliable advice based simply upon height and weight, or even photos. The only way to approach reliable predictions is with an in-person examination with a board certified plastic surgeon, the use of sizers, 3-D imaging, and most importantly, relying upon the skill, expertise, and experience of your chosen Board-Certified Plastic surgeon.Please see the attached video to understand the difference between the implantsBest of luck!Dr. SubbioBoard-Certified Plastic SurgeonNewtown Square/Philadelphia, PA

Answer: Breast augmentation with lift candidate, some advices: Thank you very much for this interesting question.In my practice i recommend using - Cohesive Gel - Silicone Breast Implants with textured cover.They are quite safe and aesthetically best as they give a firmer consistency, better projection and most natural appearance than Saline implants. Also i recommend a breast lift, I suggest a Periareolar Round Block Breast Lift ("Benelli mastopexy"), which has an unnoticed scar around the areola, and if we see (in the surgery) that we can't obtain adecuate projection just with the Benelli Lift, we have to perform a "Lollipop breast lift".Kind regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-
