I have high profile round saline implants 14 yrs ago. Should go with silicone this time? I need to go the cheapest route. My current implants are 420cc. I’m 5’ 4” weigh 175 athletic build with previous tummy tuck. My left implant has ruptured. I cannot afford a lift at this time. Just needing to replace. What kind and how many cc’s to achieve at least a DD.

Answer: Need to have my implants replaced due to a rupture. I can’t afford a lift but was told bigger implants would help lift Even though price is an important factor in this process- cheaper route- may not be the be the best route. Implants do not lift -- they only make the breasts larger. If you go with Re-Augmenation I suggest that you go with silicone implants - higher cohesivity - provided you understand it is not a substitute for a lift

Answer: Implant size for DD The ideal Implant size cannot be determined by height and weight alone. It is best to have an in-office evaluation so that careful measurements can be taken to determine the best size implant for your chest diameter, several upper body measurements, and current breast tissue. Once you have the measurements, they are all put together to determine the right implant from the right manufacturer. Breast implants of the same cc's can look and feel extremely different depending on the profile and material. In my office, I have the MENTOR breast implant sizing system where different size molds are used to simulate how you appear in your own clothes and help finalize your decision. You are correct that larger implants can provide lift, but there will be a limit to the size of the implant before it is too heavy and will cause even more drooping in the long run. If you would like a larger than ideal implant, adding an internal mesh bra may help give you the long-term support you need to maintain a youthful and appropriate look. Hope this helps!
