Hello I am 5’3” 134lbs breast is 14.5cm and was recommended I get the Natrelle SoftTouch 445cc moderate profile enhanced look implants. For reference I am a runner and would like big boobs but not anything disproportionate to my body. Am I making the right choice or will I regret not going a little bigger? I also measured nipple to nipple and it’s 9 inches. I don’t want a big gap in the middle.
Answer: Breast augmentation and implant selection Breast augmentation outcomes are generally based on three variables. The first is the patient’s candidacy for the procedure which varies from person to person. The second is implant selection in regards to shape size and type. The third variable is the surgeon’s ability to do the procedure correctly, or placed the implant in the correct position. Each plastic surgeon has their own way of guiding patients through the implant selection process. Some plastic surgeons ask the patient to make the final decision stepping out of the equation in regards to taking final responsibility. Some plastic surgeons make the final decision based on input from the patient. My personal preference is to work with before and after pictures of previous patients who had similar body characteristics. We do this until I feel I have a very good understanding of what the patient is hoping to achieve. I typically bring appropriate pictures with me to use it reference during surgery. During the procedure I used temporary implant sizes to determine what size and shape implant. It will give the desired outcome. I typically have a full selection of implants available to me during surgery. This is worked well for me. Using excessively large implants will generally always lead to an increase rate of undesirable side effects, complications and need for revision surgery. It’s true that many women wish they went bigger, but it is also true that as they do, the chance of having problems goes up at Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
