I’m looking to have breast revision. I have been to several consultations and it seems half recommend Saline and the other half recommend Silicone. I’m looking for the FAKE look under the muscle. Between 650-685. Also what is the differences between Modorate profile and high profile? I assume that high profile would be best for my case since I want the maximum upper pole fullness and them to sit high on my chest.
Answer: Looking for the "Fake" look Thank you for your question. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to revisionary breast surgery. Many of my patients express an interest in a very round-appearing breast with upper pole fullness. This is considered to the "Fake" look which can be a very beautiful and attractive appearance on the right person. Over many years, I have developed a technique that I published 2 years ago in the International Journal of Aesthetic Surgery called "Reductive Augmentation ". I found that in order to achieve this look, I need to use an ultra high profile silicone implant, remove a fair amount of breast tissue, and performed a breast lift. You are a perfect candidate for this type of surgery. If you look on my website under reductive augmentation, you will see similar pictures. Best wishes to you.

Answer: Definitely high profile At that size a high profile will better fit your chest measurements. It will definitely give a faker look as well. The implants will provide upper pole fullness. Looks as if you have a fair amount of breast tissue, so you could possibly go above or below the muscle. Saline implants can be overfilled so that the shape of the implants maintain more fullness up top. Another option is to go with one of the more cohesive silicone implants such as a the inspira soft touch (natrelle) or mentor extra fill implants. These will also give more upper pole fullness. As you can see, there are many options. Best to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: FAKE XLs Good afternoon!I perform over 200 XL augmentations a year, and give your current breasts, and the fact that you want a very round fake appearance, the best choice is saline- overfilling a saline implant will always give you a more rounded, firm, fake look when compared to any size or profile of silicone. And yes you probably need High Profile as well.

Answer: Silicone vs saline, high profile vs moderate profile: What are the pros and cons? (Photos) One alternative is to place high profile saline implants that can be filled to a larger volume. However, most plastic surgeons will recommend not having 1000 cc implants due to the long term effects on the tissues.The high profile breast implant is extremely narrow at the base to provide maximum projection. High profile implants yield the fullest and most rounded results, which may look less natural on some patients. However, high profile implants are often ideal for petite women who have a narrow chest wall.Filling type – You can get silicone gel or highly cohesive saline gummy bear implants or saline implants. None of these are better options than the others. However, they do have their differences when you examine their cost, feel, and incision requirements. The choice for implants is really up to you. There are pros and cons of each which your PS can explain during your in-office consultation. If you have a lot of tissue to cover the implant, the advantages of silicone for softness and less rippling are not as marked. Shape – Silicone gel and saline implants are usually round whereas gummy bear implants can be had in shaped or round choices depending on your requirements. Shaped implants give a gentle sloping look to breast profiles whereas round implants result in a fuller upper portion of your breasts aka the upper pole. Profile – Everyone’s profile is different and can be chosen based on input from your cosmetic surgeon. Your doctor will arrive at this decision based on your goals as well as existing proportions. This factor actually has very little to do with the result. Almost no low profile implant is ever utilized. Almost all implants placed are moderate, moderate plus, or high(full) profile. Very few ultra high profile implants are used as they may have a higher probability of thinning tissue over time. The difference in diameter and implant height among moderate, moderate plus, and high (or full) profile implants is very little and may be less than a centimeter in diameter for a given volume. Size – Breast implants come in a variety of sizes that range from 150cc all the way to 800cc and sometimes even go larger. Most patients need a different breast implant size for each of their breasts. This is done so that they reach the best symmetry possible. The size chosen by patients should be based on the size of your breasts currently, the goals you wish to achieve as well as input from your cosmetic surgeon. Tall women with larger frames and broader chest, shoulders, and hips can often handle larger implants that would make smaller women's chests look overcrowded and heavier. Placement - I think that most plastic surgeons would agree that a breast augmentation result where the implant is placed under the muscle (dual plane) tends to have better longevity than a breast implant placed over the muscle.I would recommend that you go with the size that boosts your self-esteem, and fits your anatomy. Choosing an implant based on an aesthetic goal that exceeds your anatomic capacity may lead to complications and possibly revision.

Answer: Breast revision It isn’t clear what you don’t like about your current result other than you just want to be larger. Although a larger implant may give you more upper fullness they will gradually sag again and then you will need a lift.
