Previously AA/A cup and got 345CC implants. For a second surgery, what would be a ballpark CC range for this goal? (Photo)

musiclover11Sep 25, 2024
Currently have 345CC Natrelle Soft Touch Gel Medium Profile. That was the max size implant that my surgeon felt she could comfortably place and said that a second surgery would be required to fit a larger size. I do prefer the large breast look and feel that my currently implants look too small/not proportional enough. To get my bodies version of the goal photo, do you have any recommendations on a CC range?

I would avoid creating a parallel incision because it could compromise the blood supply to the skin between the two incisions. A peri-areolar incision would work well for you.

You have a capsule on the higher side which can be released to let the implant settle down. You could go some larger, but I would suggest not the size of your wish photo since your inferior pockets have been previously repaired. You don't want to bottom out with an implant that is too heavy for...

Hello,Based on the photographs provided, it does appear that your nipple areolar complexes are still below the most projected portion of the breasts. It is important to allow the implants to settle and I routinely recommend waiting at least six months prior to undergoing a revisional procedure....

Do not make an incision in the breast crease because this may interfere with circulation to your skin. Use the same incisions, or go the areola.
