I only A- cup, height 167 and weight 110 lbs, is it better for smooth implants or textured implants? Any recommendations for placement? I don't like big breasts, B cups are fine. Thanks in advance!
Answer: Implants For women with small breasts, I recommend smooth round implants placed behind the muscle for better upper breast fullness and coverage, and fewest long term risks.

Answer: Texture vs Smooth, Round vs Tear Drop, Muscle... Hello and thank you for your question. It is highly recommended to use smooth implants to avoid concerns of anaplastic large cell lymphoma associated with textured implants. I recommend a round implant as it avoids future issues with cosmetic deformity when the implant rotates. Under the muscle or above the muscle just depends on your anatomy, skin quality, physical activity levels, body habitus, and measurements. All of these things need to be taken into consideration during a consultation. Alex Zuriarrain, MD, FACSQuadruple Board-Certified Plastic/Cosmetic SurgeonCleveland Clinic Trained

Answer: Considering implants There is so much to consider when selecting the right implant and the questions you mentioned are just a few. There is also the type and profile to consider. Breast implant selection is always best when done in person. During a consultation you'll be examined by your board certified plastic surgeon and discuss your goals for surgery. Together you will select the implant that is best for you. Based on the information given in your post you will likely have a nice outcome from a smooth, conservatively sized implant placed beneath the muscle.

Answer: Breast augmentation Hello, Thank you for the question. Based on what you are describing, you appear to be a good candidate for breast augmentation, but it is difficult to tell definitively without an in-person examination and seeing the photos. Implant size discussion and implant selection is one of the most important steps during your consultation with plastic surgeon. The decision-making process depends on your desires, as well as breast and soft tissue dimensions of your chest wall. I also utilize Vectra 3D planning to further help with implant selection. The breast implants are typically placed under the muscle to provide more soft tissue coverage using a small incision at the breast fold. I would seek an in-person evaluation by the Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon, in order to discuss your goals and concerns for the best cosmetic results. I hope this helps.Best regards, Dr. Karanetz Dr. Irena KaranetzBreast Fellowship-TrainedBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Breast implants Smooth round under muscle. Textured and teardrop implants have too many problems. And submuscular and biplane are really the same thing. Easy decision
