Will High Profile Implants give me too much fullness? Ie. A stuck on look? I'm having 380CC HP gummy implants dual-plane procedure with inframmary incision. Want to look naturally full. Also stretch marks? As you can see they're quiet marked - what happens to these stretch marks when an implant is added?

Answer: Will High Profile Implants Look Too Fake/Unatural? The best cosmetic result in any particular breast augmentation patient depends on a variety of factors, including: your individual anatomy, realistic expectations, a thorough discussion with the plastic surgeon about the options, and an understanding of the pros and cons of any particular implant choice. Proper sizing is not just about the number of cc’s. The thickness of your tissue, breast dimensions which include the width, height, and projection, as well as chest wall width all need to be considered when choosing an implant. Trying on implant “sizers” of various shapes and volumes while wearing a tight t-shirt, bra, or bathing suit at a preoperative visit will help you and your surgeon choose the optimal implant. Keep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you what to do without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedure would not be in your best interest. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.Stretch marks may remain the same, be less obvious or occasionally be more obvious after a breast augmentation. There is no way to predict the outcome of the stretch marks pre-operativly. Robert Singer, MD FACS La Jolla, California

Answer: High Profile...too full? That is ultimately a question only you can answer. On the plus side, you have a lot of natural breast tissue. This will always help the results look more natural. You do have some glandular ptosis, or great hanging below the fold. Old stretch marks will not be markedly affected by the implants. Good luck!
