I like the "fake" looking breast implants (very high on the chest frame, very round, lots up upper fullness). However, I like implants that are very round, especially since I have a wider chest frame. I'm afraid HP would be too narrow for my frame and I really like the round look. Would overfilled moderate round saline give me the "fake" look? How much would I need to overfill the bag by? I would like to be in the 550-650 range.
Answer: Finding the right surgeon to decide the right size for you! It is very difficult to determine the size you will need (recommended based on your photos) or the exact size and shape implant you will require to best match your ideal breast image without an examination by a board certified plastic surgeon. Not just any board certified plastic surgeon, but one with many years of frequently performing breast augmentation surgery including different approaches, techniques and implant choices. This is because several measurements not to mention your breast characteristics are needed to determine the optimal implant size to obtain your goals. Without knowing these dimensions it would be difficult to make this determination. For example, the existing base width of your breast will determine, in many cases, the maximal volume per implant profile that you can accommodate. To illustrate; a 100 cc difference may make a significant difference with a narrow base width breast, but much less of a difference if you have a wide chest wall and wide breast “foot print”. Therefore, just because your friend may have a great result with let’s say a 300 cc implant to make her go from a “A” cup to a “C” cup size does not mean that you will have the same result with the same size implant. The same process goes for just filling in the upper part of your breast without becoming much larger. Further simply placing implants in a bra to determine the size best for you is not always accurate as the bra often distorts the size, is dependent on the pressure the bra places plus the implant is outside your breast and not under it among other variables. Computer software morphing programs that automatically determine the best implant size can be helpful in some but not all cases (e.g. doesn’t work well in my experience with existing implants, sagging or asymmetric breasts). Using “want to be” photos however are useful if simply provided to the surgeon as I will further explain in the link below including silicone vs saline implant

Answer: Fake look The problem with overfilling a saline implant is that saline implants are not dome shaped and as you fill them up the sides come up causing wrinkling and thinning of the tissues. If you want a fake look, the best option is to switch to Allergan's Inspira SRX ultra high profile silicone implant. It has the most overfill and projection while still maintaining a dome shape. Since you have implants currently, a capsulorrhaphy is often needed. You need to see a plastic surgeon who is very experienced at revisionary breast surgery to achieve your goals. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Overfilled implants Hello, although overfilling implants does tend to give them a rounder look, it could also void the warranty or make them more prone to rupture. Perhaps your PS can find a different option.

Answer: "Fake" looking breast implants? Thank you for the insightful question. Much of the final outcome achieved with breast augmentation surgery depends on the patient's anatomic starting point. In some ways, it may be more challenging to achieve an "fake look" when patients start out with a significant amount of native breast tissue. Having said that, it is usually possible with careful dissection of breast implant pocket (I generally prefer the sub muscular pocket for most patients, including patients who are looking for a larger or more fake look) and careful selection of appropriate breast implant type/size/profile to achieve the "fake" look.
