Hi! I’m 5’11”, 156 lbs, 40, having trouble finding examples of women like me on here to get an idea of how implants of different sizes will look on my frame. The sizers at a surgeon’s also didn’t seem to sit in the right place so they didn’t help much. I am currently an A and want a subtle but beautiful result. Are there certain things to know or keep in mind when selecting implants for a tall women? Should they have a lower projection so they can cover the larger chest? What CC for a full B?

Answer: Breast augmentation with lift Thank you for your question, and many things come into play when attempting to make a decision regarding implant sizes for a patient having a simultaneous mastopexy. I would advise in thinking about whether your priority is lifting and shaping of the breast or the ultimate size because this will play into the decision making between you and your plastic surgeon. Remember that a breast lift done simultaneously with an implant creates the opposing force of tight with a lift vs. expanding with the implant. Thinking about this as you discuss your goals with a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in breast enhancement and good luck.

Answer: Bellesoma Method The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Later, fat transfers or small implants can be placed if additional volume is desired. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
