I'm currently at a 36c. I want a full D. I had 2 consulations. 1 said lift first then 1 year later come back for implants no larger than 300cc. 2nd surgeon said lift and implants could easily be achieved. He suggested 240-310cc moderate profile. I feel with a lift that wouldn't be much larger. I feel 365cc full profile would be better considering tissue is removed during lift. Would that be too large with a lift? Scheduled in 1 month for surgery. 5"5 150 lbs 36 years old
Answer: I want a full D - Is 365cc too large for me? In these situations, it's important to listen to what your surgeon is saying. If you are not on the same page, try to iterate your concerns so they can be answered appropriately. From your digital image, it is reasonable to do the lift an implant at the same time. As for size, that is a matter of preference.

Answer: Size The best range of sizes for your tissue and frame is determined by measurements and an examination. Both surgeons did not appear to recommend 365, so it may be too large for you. I would go back and discuss size again with the surgeon you selected, and try on those sizes as well.

Answer: Might be right and lift might not be necessary After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Mildly Sagging Breasts: If your breasts are mildly droopy, a saline or silicone gel implant placed behind the pectoral muscle might help create the illusion of perkiness. That’s because as the implant fills out the top of the breast, it also fills out the bottom, making it look as if the nipple has moved higher. It hasn’t. You can always get a lift later if you feel you are not perky enough when fully settled and healed. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: Breast lift with implants Hello, implant sizing is a very detailed process that requires in-person assessment and evaluation. You should trust the judgement of your surgeon, especially since you have already booked your surgery. I wish you the best of luck. Vasileios Vasilakis, MD.

Answer: Bellesoma Method At size 36, each 200 cc of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. To go from a C to a D would require 200 cc implants. Also, the photos you have shown show a lift technique with the vertical scar. The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. At the same time, fat transfers or small implants can be placed totally submuscular.
