I would like a moderate plus Saline (only saline) BA. My BWD is 16. My bra band width is 38. I am a large B to a small deflated C (I breastfed for 4 years). I'm 5'5" 185 pounds. I want to increase my upper pole fullness and my breast size by 2 to 3 sizes. How many cc's are required? I will be using Mentor smooth moderate plus saline implants. What size implant will I need? According to the Mentor website, 550 cc's are 14cm. Will these be wide enough?
Answer: A lift will be necessary good evening!looking at your photos, your breast shape and nipple location necessitates a breast lift as well as augmentation for an optimal result. Sizing will be dependent upon your tissue characteristics - not everyone can hold a 500cc implant and have a perky long lasting result.Remember the bigger the implant, the heavier the implant. The heavier the implant the more weight is being placed upon your tissues that will lead to early loss of upper pole fullness.From looking at your photos you are not a straightforward case. Please be sure to see a board certified plastic surgeon well versed in augmentation mastopexy for an evaulation.I hope this helps

Answer: Your Anatomy And Your Goals Based on your photo, in your case, a breast lift procedure along with an augmentation would likely be recommended. Depending on the individual anatomy and desired results of the patient, estimations and measurements should be made for them individually. The elements that form up the breast shape and size and the overall frame can be different in each person. It will be best to consult a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in cosmetic breast surgery in person and discuss your goals and options after a physical examination.Hope this helps,Ali Rıza Öreroğlu, MD FEBOPRASEuropean and Turkish Board Certified Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive SurgeonIstanbul, Turkey

Answer: Breast augmentation, 550cc Hello and thank you for your question. You are a great candidate for a breast augmentation. 550cc may be a good size for you, considering you have a wide chest base. The size, profile, and shape of the implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.

Answer: How many cc's to go from 38B/C to 38 D/DD? The best cosmetic result in any particular breast augmentation patient depends on a variety of factors, including: Your individual anatomy, realistic expectations, a thorough discussion with the plastic surgeon about the options, and an understanding of the pros and cons of any particular implant choice. Proper sizing is not just about the number of cc’s. The thickness of your tissue, breast dimensions which include the width, height, and projection, as well as chest wall width all need to be considered when choosing an implant. Trying on implant “sizers” of various shapes and volumes while wearing a tight t-shirt, bra, or bathing sit at a preoperative visit will help you and your surgeon choose the optimal implant.

Answer: The Bellesoma Lift combined with fat instead of implants At size 38, each 200 cc of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. You would need approximately 400 cc to go from a B to a D. However, implants alone will not resolve your problem. As others have stated, your breasts are abnormal, too far apart and have descended. You would benefit from a lift and the technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed are maintained. At the same time or later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired. Implants are not lifetime devices and half are removed by 9.5 years. Fat transfers are permanent and incorporated into the body.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
