PS suggested 375 M+ but I keep seeing nice HP on girls similar to me. I want natural/perky but still small enough to look cute in a crop top. Attached is a picture of me and a ton of wish boobs. Any suggestions for my goals?
Answer: M+ or HP Great question! Implant selection can be a tricky thing. It is important to pick an implant that is close to the width of your breast, otherwise it can look too wide or too narrow The higher the profile of implant, the more narrow the implant will look and provides more fullness and roundness to the upper breast. If you want a more natural look the M+ would probably be the best. However, looking at your wish photos, it seems like you want more of an exaggerated look as these these photos you can tell they have had an augmentation done. Therefore I would say you may want to go with the HP. However, depending on your chest width, you may need to go bigger in cc with the implant so that it fills the entire breast as HP implants are more narrow than M+ Best of luck and hope this information helps! - Dr. Roger Tsai @DrRogerTsai Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Modified Benelli to maximize projection with smaller implants Your breasts are too low and too far apart. The technique I recommend is a modified Benelli lift. Using a circumareola approach, your breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Through the same incision, small implants can be placed. Aligning the nipple, breast tissue and implant will give maximum projection with smaller size implants. Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: HP or M+ profiles? PS suggested 375 M+ but I keep seeing nice HP on girls similar to me. Help Thank you for your pictures and questions. First off, I would suggest you temper some of your expectations. You have a different starting point than presumably most of the people in your goal photos. You have very wide sternal spacing with laterally displaced nipple position and significant ptosis (drooping) of the breast. This all needs to be taken into account when planning your operation. The Mod+ vs High profile discussion will mostly be determined by your base width measurements and the volume improvement you are trying to achieve. The Mod+ implant might fill out your base diameter better for the chosen volume and thus why your surgeon is choosing that. A very narrow high profile implant might make your sternal spacing appear wider. You need to discuss with your chosen surgeon whether or not you need a lift to achieve your goals and make absolutely sure you surgeon is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and accept nothing less.Good luck!Dallas R.

Answer: Size and Profile The implant selection should be based on a combination of your desired size, soft tissue dynamics, breast base diameter and skin elasticity. I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with. Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS), a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach TrainedDouble Board-Certified, Double Fellowship-Trained Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon

Answer: HP or M+ profiles breast implants ? The best cosmetic result in any particular breast augmentation patient depends on a variety of factors, including: Your individual anatomy, desired outcome, 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. or the type of implant. 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 suit at a preoperative visit will help you and your surgeon choose the optimal implant. Keep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedure would not be in your best interest. I would suggest that your plastic surgeon be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Robert Singer, MD FACS La Jolla, California
