I have 550cc overfilled to 650cc moderate round implants, I love the width but I want extreme upper fullness like high profile implants. My surgeon told me high profile would mean a narrower diameter, which I don't want. I don't want to go bigger than a 750cc, so how can I maintain the diameter of my breasts and round shape while getting upper fullness? My PS said to overfill the bag more, but another surgeon told me moderate profiles will never be able to achieve upper fullness. Any advice?
Answer: Overfilled Saline Hello,Your overfilled device, although labeled 'moderate', is actually quite high profile at this point, with that extra 100 cc of saline making it much higher profiled and narrower in diameter too (as well as unnecessarily firm, a big problem for your languishing tissues being crushed). As I said, you really deserve the benefit of a true consultation with a qualified, experienced surgeon who can set the record straight, examine you, and give you the best understanding of your situation and the possibilities of achieving your goals, if possible. Best of luck!

Answer: Size 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) and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach Trained, Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Implant size Dear BrittE92,determining the ideal breast size and matching that goal for the patient is the most difficult part of breast augmentation. It starts and ends with the patient. We have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements. Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If its too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match. Of all of my breast augmentation patients, everyone of them have been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS
