I had a previous BA it's apparently 625cc smooth round saline overs. But my breast aren't even, one side is bigger and harder. Now I have scar tissue. I'm gonna get it done again and was thinking of going between 850cc-1000cc HP silicone gel under muscle. Would that be a good decision for me? What would be a perfect size for my body type?

Answer: Breast Implant Revision/Breast Augmentation/Anatomic Gummy Bear Implants/ Silicone Implants/Breast Implant Revision Surgery I appreciate your question. The best way to determine implant size is based on chest wall measurements that fit your body. Once we determine that we can choose the profile based on what you want or need to achieve. Implants under the muscle, there is less risk of capsular contracture. Anatomic implants tend to give a more natural shape with more nipple projection. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery. Best of luck!

Answer: Large implants With smooth round implants placed over the muscle, the risk of capsular contracture (scar hardening) is much higher. As a result, switching your implants to a sub muscular position, with possible reinforcement using a material like Strattice, would be a good idea. However, the size range you are considering is a bad idea in my opinion.First of all, no FDA approved silicone implants in the US are currently larger than 800cc. To get in the range you are talking about (assuming you had surgery in the US), you would need an overfilled saline, which would be a higher risk implant for rippling and stretching the tissues. Beyond that, the sheer size and weight of an implant that size will create tremendous wear and tear on your breasts over the years, which can be difficult or impossible to fix.You may like the look of very large, round implants, but you have already experienced some problems and will probably compound them if you go larger. Ideally, you should visit a skilled plastic surgeon that has a focus in breast revision that can perform measurements and help you select implants that are properly fitted for your body. You may have to compromise on size, but what you gain in terms of safety, longevity, comfort and proportion should be a very fair trade off. Good luck!
