I’m having an awake breast augmentation in October and I really want to be satisfied with the results, I’m hoping my chest will be able to hold 550cc even though he recommends 460cc high profile saline implant
Answer: Bellesoma Lift The goal of breast surgery is to create beautiful breasts. Beautiful breasts are round, high on the chest wall, symmetrical, have cleavage and projection. The problem with your breasts is not volume but is they are too low on the chest wall. I recommend a lift using 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 (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained, Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired. Implants are not lifetime devices. 8% fail within the first year and 30% fail within six years. Fat transfers are permanent and incorporated into the body. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Breast implants Thank you for your question. The breast, which is mainly composed of skin, adipose tissue and mammary gland, is fixed to the rib cage by the resistance of the skin and suspensory ligaments. If suspensory ligaments are loose and skin tension is low, a breast may sag regardless of its size. Even breasts with small volume may sag due to loosening of the skin and suspensory ligaments due to births and breastfeeding. At the same time, even though it is large, a breast with strong skin structure and ligaments might not sag. As a result, the characteristics and structure of each breast differ from one another.

Answer: Is 460cc enough to make me a DDD? Hello,Thank you for the question and photos. Implant size discussion and implant selection is one of the most important steps during your consultation with plastic surgeon. The decision-making process depends on patient’s desires, as well as breast and soft tissue dimensions of the chest wall. I also utilize Vectra 3D planning to further help with implant selection. Based on your photos, 450cc size implant should give you a full D cup size, but it is important to understand that cup sizes vary different company brands. Best wishes and good luck with your upcoming surgery. Dr. Irena KaranetzFellowship-TrainedBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Choosing the right size and profile breast implants for you 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. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: Size Selection Good morning, I don't see why you couldn't hold 550cc- but to really determine the appropriate size you should take several different tops to your PS office and try on the implant sizers to make sure you get the right size to achieve your goals!
