Best breast implants for pigeon chest, what's best for me and for my anatomy? (Photo)

Question

Im 20 years old, colombian, 1.63 cm and 57 kilos, looking for something natural, i was thinking about anatomic implants because I don't like that "ball effect" sometimes seen in round implants, 275 or 300 cc, moderate height and between a moderate or high profile (never super high) already consulted a doctor and said he would put it subfascial, Im not pretty sure if I have pigeon chest, my chest is 91 cm so it's a lot taking in count I don't have big boobs, Id like to have another opinion thanks

I don't see a problem with achieving a great result. I usually use textured implants with a pigeon chest (pectus carinatum) to avoid the implant tendency to migrate to the side over time. Most important by far is picking the best plastic surgeon with the most experience with this condition. See below link for tips.#breastaugmentation#pigeonchestBA#BA

Thank you for the question.  Based on your photographs, I think that you are starting at a good place and should have a very nice outcome with breast augmentation surgery. Ultimately, careful communication of your goals (in my practice I prefer the use of goal pictures, direct examination/communication in front of a full-length mirror, in bra sizers, and computer imaging) as well as careful measurements (dimensional planning) will be critical.

In my practice, I prefer the use of round implants for my breast augmentation patients;  I find that all types of outcomes are achievable, without the potential downsides associated with "anatomic" or teardrop shaped breast implants

Online consultants will not be able to provide you with specific enough advice to be truly helpful. Ultimately, careful communication of your goals (in my practice I prefer the use of goal pictures, direct examination/communication in front of a full-length mirror, in bra sizers, and computer imaging) as well as careful measurements (dimensional planning) will be critical.

Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is:
1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.
2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals. 
In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. For example, I have found that the use of know words such as “natural” or "C or D cup" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. Again, the use of computer imaging has been very helpful during the communication process, in our practice.
3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery, after the use of temporary intraoperative sizers.
I hope this (and the attached link, dedicated to breast augmentation surgery concerns) helps. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.

You need more diameter in the implant, so I recommend moderate profile+ in 450 cc range. >>>>>>>>>>

By reviewing your pictures you are a good candidate for a Breast Augmentation. In your case I recommend the Saline Implants because of your age by law is illegal to use the Gummy Bear Implants (Gel). In my opinion, the Saline Implants would look better due to height and weight. I recommend for my patients to bring me pictures of their "ideal breasts" so I can guide myself and them better towards their goals. Best of luck!
