I am considering a breast augmentation and would like fuller breasts. I am happy with the shape I would just like an increase in size. I would like natural looking results (“keep them guessing”) and am wondering if I would be able to have a subglandular augmentation without too much upper pole fullness, distinct borders or an “augmented look.”

Answer: Would I be able to have a subglandular augmentation? There appear to be no major contraindications to placement of your implants above the muscle, so this should be a viable option if this is your preference. Seek a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to allow you to thoroughly understand the relative risks and benefits of subglandular vs. submuscular augmentation.

Answer: My recommendation Hello dear! Thank you for your question and provided information as well.. Based on your photos, it seems that you have symmetrical breasts for which you wish to add more volume. There are many ways that plastic surgeons perform measurements in order to determine which breast implant size, style and shape will best suit your goals. It is important that you communicate to your board-certified plastic surgeon what are expecting, to make certain that your goals are realistic. It's helpful to show pictures of results you'd like, but please keep in mind that these are other people and your body is different from everybody. In my office, we use a method of sizing with silicone gel forms of known volumes. This is proven to be a very accurate means of determining what size will might be of additional interest to you as well. Know that 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. Hope this helps and best of lucks. Dr. Luis Mejia.
