Should I get silicone gel, high or moderate plus and what size? I want to be a D.

These choices are related to profile or the amount of projection the implant will provide. This means how far the implant/breast pushs out in front of your chest. Your breast and chest size will require sizing such that a variety of implant projections could be tried during surgery to see which style and size your surgical team thinks is the best for you. Good luck.

You appear to have a petite frame, so with that in mind, I would suggest a high profile silicone implant. This should give you the volume that you want without the implant being too wide for your frame. An in person exam will be needed to recommend a specific volume. Good luck!

We have many different types of implants for breast augmentation and choosing the right one is important for optimizing results. In my office we keep a cabinet full of sizers that patients try on under thin bras and tight tee-shirts to determine desired volume. One the volume is determined measurements are taken so that an implant of proper X, Y, and Z dimensions can be chosen. In this way the so-called footprint of the implant (height, width, and projection) can be matched to an individual patient's anatomy. The link below discusses some of this.
Be sure to consult with a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery who has done a lot of this work and who can show you a comprehensive portfolio of pre- and post-op pictures so you can gauge the surgeon's level of expertise and so you can get a realistic idea of possible results.

Thank you for your question and photographs. Breast implant selection is an exciting, but stressful part of the breast augmentation process as there are so many choices. Unfortunately it is impossible to recommend the best implant style, size or shape without an in-person examination that allows for the measurement of key breast parameters, as well as permits an in-depth discussion as to your desired goals and outcome. I would recommend seeing an ASPS board certified plastic surgeon, they are in the best position to ensure that the implants the two of your decide upon are the right ones to meet your expectations. It sounds as if it may be wise for you to "try on" several of the implants so that you can have a better visual representation as to what they would look like. I would favor silicone implants placed beneath your chest muscle to help avoid a recurrence of your breast hardening. Best wishes!

Thank you for your question. During your consultation I like to find out your goals (I.e. What cup size you would like to be). It's important to measure the width of your breast to determine which implant you need. I like to use breast sizers that are made specifically to try out before surgery. Mentor has a good set. The patient puts on a bra and she can place various sizes over her breast. When she looks in a mirror she can see which size she likes best. During surgery I like to use intraoperative breast implant sizers to confirm the size. I use the bloodless breast technique which I invented. Bleeding is minimal, typically there is no bruising after surgery, and recovery is a lot quicker versus traditional technique. For more information please see the enclosed video and I hope you find this information helpful.

Hello and thank you for your question. You are a great candidate
for a breast augmentation. The size, profile, and shape of the
implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall
measurements, and soft tissue quality. This decision should
be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you
and your surgeon. This entire surgery
can be performed with a small incision technique. Make sure you
specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have
had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a
surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a
qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Hello and thank you for your questions. Remember, it is best
to see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who can in person examine you, take
key measurements and go over with you your specific aesthetic goals. Bringing
several photos of your "ideal" look can be helpful as
well. Also with my complimentary consultation is a review and discussion
about incision location, implant placement, implant size and shape, type of the
implants and recovery period. There are several key differences and some
similarities in the types and shapes of breast implants. It is best to see and
feel in person the different sizes, shapes and textures of the various implants
during a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. All the best.

Patient satisfaction regarding implant choice is very high when done appropriately. I encourage patients to spend necessary time with their ABPS board certified plastic surgeon and patient care team. Try on different sizers in the mirror and pick a size. Bring a significant other, friends or family - if you value their opinions. Based off chest wall measurements and desired size an implant is selected. Dont rush! Good luck.
