Will my husband be able to tell I have breast implants?

Question

I have already a D, but I want my breasts to be a little bit bigger and rounder... Will my future husband be able to tell I had surgery? Also which implants size should I get so that he will not find out? Thank you in advance

Shitel Patel, MD · Answer

Short answer is yes because you will have an incision to allow the surgeon to place the implant into the breast. 
Can that scar be hidden? Yes, there are multiple options
Will anyone else know that does not see you without clothes? Probably, not since you are only looking for a subtle change.

Thank you for your question! Yes, it is likely that your partner will know you have breast implants. In some positions, you may be able to see or feel rippling. There are lots of very subtle, natural options, but an augmented breast is generally noticed eventually. Best of luck!

It may not be that easy to detect implants if patient has significant amount of breast tissue and good skin tone. In order to have one cup size up, depending of your framework and breast size, one could consider a range of 150-250 ml.. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, is strongly recommended.

Dear Leylababy,  Whether or not your future husband knows in advance that you have had breast surgery doesn't really matter because eventually, he will find out. Breast implants are not "forever" devices and will need to be changed, removed, or revised, because of the fact that they are subject to multiple kinds of complications and changes you would likely have to discuss with him. If you get breast implants, you will have more breast surgery at some point.

Your scar will indicate that something had been done to your breasts. If you chose gel implants, they will feel most natural. don't go too large or you will sag even more.

Derek Fletcher, MD · Answer

There are at least two issues to consider when trying to keep breast implants a secret. 1. Scars: The most discrete breast augmentation scar is the axillary (armpit) scar used for a transaxillary breast augmentation. The scar is small and typically well hidden. The two disadvantages of this option are that it limits which implants can be used to saline implants or small silicone implants. There is also an increased risk of capsular contracture (a scar tissue complication involving the implants).2. Implant size: If you have medium sized to large natural breasts with dense tissue, it will be difficult to feel small implants if the implant diameter is small enough. As the diameter of the implants increase, the likelihood of feeling the perimeter of the implant increases, especially in the lower breast.

It's hard to say if your future husband will be able to notice you've had breast augmentation.  Much depends on the size you select.  You'll likely have swelling for several weeks after the procedure before the implants settle.  I encourage you to focus on selecting an implant that is right for you that will give you the look you are wanting.  Begin by visiting with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation.

Thank you for your question.

Because of the intimate nature of your relationship to her husband is likely your husband will eventually become aware that you have breast implants.  Most importantly an excellent result with soft breasts in a freely movable breast implant detection will be difficult.  However the presence of a scar obviously underneath the breast will likely be eventually noticed.

I my own opinion is that you want to share with your husband that you have breast implants before your marriage.  I can assure you that the most any husband will be happy about your breast implant result and not be concerned that you have breast implants.
