Hi, I am 22 y.o. petite girl and I train contortion. I am an AA cup, and I would like to have a full B or small C, with a full profile. Height 152 cm / 5’ Wight 38 kg / 83 lb I have a bony sternum, and not sure if it is also wide. I don’t think I have a pectum excavatum, but something linked to my thinness. Will my bony sternum be so visible after implants? Will my implants be far apart? What type of implants would you advise?

Answer: You will do well with breast augmentation Hello and thank you for your question. You have a beautiful breast footprint and will therefore have beautiful results afterwards. Since you are so lean, your bony anatomy of your ribs is more apparent, but you do not have any "abnormalities" like the pectus conditions that you mentioned. In fact, I think you will have a great result with breast augmentation. In someone like you with so little subcutaneous fat, make sure the implants are placed submuscular to give the shape you so desire. Make sure to seek consultation with a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery; the really good surgeons are also members of prestigious societies within the profession such as ASPS (American Society of Plastic Surgeons) and ASAPS (American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery) -- membership can be checked on their respective websites. It is important to pick a surgeon with expertise in aesthetic breast surgery. Also, do not base your decision on price -- price shopping usually ends up with suboptimal results as you end up getting what you pay for. It costs a LOT more money to fix work that isn't done right the first time. The "great" plastic surgeons have great reputations not just because of their work, amazing reviews on yelp, realself, etc and strong instagram and social media followings, but also because they are great people and will strive to give you the best value for your money. There is a lot that goes into implant selection -- your breast volume, the amount of cleavage you want to achieve, your base width, your rib shape/projection, tissue elasticity, etc. Also, when it comes to bra sizes, most women are not accurately sized for their bras. Please keep in mind that a breast implant is a round object and has a certain diameter. Your base width on each side of your chest will determine "how big of a ball" or what diameter implant you can reliably go up to with a socially acceptable cosmetic outcome. The implant will "augment" or increase the size of your breasts to an amount acceptable to you and your surgeon. There is no correlation between height and weight and base width; therefore you need an in person examination to be accurately measured. The most important thing to consider is really the size and look that is appealing to YOU with the implants you choose. Many surgeons have sizing models whether using bras with implants or computer simulation. Go with what is acceptable based on your measurements and makes YOU the happiest, and make sure to weigh the pros and cons of the options you are considering. You can also compare the different profile implants and see which look you like most. The profile of the implant will determine how much upper pole fullness and overall projection you portray. Usually, the higher the profile of the implants, the more upper pole fullness you achieve, but in some cases it may give a faker appearance. If you were my patient, I would have you try on implants of different styles and see what shape and size made you the happiest. I hope this helps answer your questions and I wish the best of luck to you! Instagram @sskplasticsurg Sincerely, Dr. Sean Kelishadi

Answer: I could show you. I don't think you are likely to end up with the "bad results" that you've shown. In fact, I think you stand to have a wonderful result. Be conservative with your size, give some consideration to the use of a shaped implant, and DEFINITELY go with a more cohesive device such as the Sientra Style 107 or Natrelle Inspira Soft Touch. I have one of the most extensive experiences with these devices, and I can tell you that the results are remarkably better than the older style implants.Lastly, I have marked your photograph with your expected cleavage after surgery. Unfortunately there isn't an easy way for me to upload this to show you on RealSelf. I'm happy to share that image with you in an online consultation if you're interested.Bottom line: you should experience a beautiful result. Go for it! Do your homework, but press on.Best of luck.
