I am questioning whether or not I should even get the implants since I am already a 34D. I don't need a lift according to my PS. But he is recommending small implants (210 and 190CC) After breastfeeding, I am just looking to restore volume. I am deflated in the upper pole region and they just don't look like they used to. However, I am afraid I will be too big with the implants. Yes, I know I am asymmetrical, but it doesn't bother me.

Answer: Tough one. You have a tall torso and relative to your collar bone your breasts are "low" on your chest which is why you are feeling as though you lack upper pole fullness, even though your nipple areola is in good relation to the rest of the breast. Even though your breasts are slightly asymmetrical, from the photos they appear to be of adequate volume.Without examining you it is difficult to give a definitive medical opinion but fearing you will be too large is a legitimate concern. My my guess is that you can achieve an aesthetic enhancement with a mastopexy that reduces your skin envelope and tightens and elevates your breasts, but your cup size will probably get smaller rather than bigger after a mastopexy. The he advantage of your surgeon is that he or she examined you and concluded that the scars from a mastopexy may not be justified in your case. I suggest you discuss your concerns explicitly with your plastic surgeon. I am sure he or she would concur that if you feel a second opinion is required yiu should pursue that. Your plastic surgeon should be experienced in breast enhancement and board certified, preferably a member of ASAPS, ASPS, or both.Best of luck to you.

Answer: Breast augmentation An important question. A saline or silicone breast implant will enlarge the entire surface area of the breast. Anatomically shaped implants expand the upper pole the least, traditional round silicone implants will increase he upper pole volume moderately and saline implants will increase the upper pole volume the most. Your concern appears to be focused on the upper pole and I agree that you do not need a lift. For isolated upper pole filling without increasing the entire surface area of the breast I would recommend fat grafting. This would involve liposuction from some other part of your body which would then be transplanted to the area of concern for a permanent enhancement. Fat grating in breast augmentation is not the best technique for most patients but for someone who has goals such as yourself is a good option. Take care
