I am torn between the two. I want to be a small C possibly mid range C. I got two options and can't decide. One doctor said I'm too young for moderate plus & it will give "saggier" look to say and because I'm narrow stick with high profile. The other doc said because I'm super active & lift weights stick with moderate plus! I'm torn please help. I don't want to look fake, does profiles even matter that much at low volumes?
Answer: Breast Implants/Breast Augmentation/Anatomic Gummy Bear Implants/ Silicone Implants/Breast Implant Revision Surgery I appreciate your question. The size of implant is dictated by your chest wall measurements. Once we determine that we can choose the profile based on what you want or need to achieve. Silicone will give you a fullness at the top (upper pole fullness). Silicone implants come pre-filled with a silicone gel and are the softest implant available. They feel more natural, which makes them a good option for women with less natural breast tissue; but they require a larger incision. It may be more difficult to realize if this type of implant has ruptured, so it is important to monitor them with annual follow-up visits. Additionally, because this implant contains a more liquid silicone (less cross-linked), if this implant should rupture, it will leak only into the scar capsule formed around the implant but may cause some discomfort or implant distortion. Anatomic gummy bear implants might be a good choice to give you volume. These highly-sought-after, anatomic implants offer a look that more closely resembles the natural silhouette of a breast, and, therefore, are a very attractive option for individuals seeking a natural-looking, aesthetic primary breast augmentation. Additionally, these implants are an especially excellent option for patients undergoing restorative or corrective breast surgery because they provide more stability, shape, and reduced incidence of capsular contracture. Compared to other types of silicone gel implants, the silicone in the cohesive gel implant is more cross-linked; therefore, should the implant shell “rupture,” it maintains its shape and silicone does not leak. During your breast augmentation consultation, you should feel the different types of implants available, and try on various implant sizers in front of a mirror to help you to get an idea of how you will look following the surgery. You should also bring pictures of the look you would like to achieve, as well as a favorite top to wear when trying on implant sizers. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery. Best of luck!

Answer: 250 or not Cup sizes are not standard across bra makers, and implant sizing is NOT based on height, weight, BMI, or desired cup size. This is something you will need to do IN PERSON with an experienced surgeon to determine what works well for you, and to get advice about if what you like is possible and what to expect with regards to results. Be sure to discuss your goals and concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon and consider the pros and the cons. Be certain your surgeon is properly certified. I've attached a link where you can start your search.

Answer: 250cc MP or 300HP Thank you for sharing your question and photograph. You should anticipate a very nice result with either size/profile of implant, with both likely having a similar base width. The higher profile implant will afford greater fullness to the upper portion of your breasts while also sticking out further from your rib cage. At these volumes I would advocate trying on sizers to see the absolute volume change and then choose the appropriate implant. Hope this helps.

Answer: Moderate Plus vs High Profile Implants The choice of implants can be confusing and since there are several philosophies about how to choose an implant, patients frequently get different opinions from their consultations. Sometimes it is easiest to go back to basics. Choose the implant volume based on how large you want to be and then select the profile based on your measurements. 3D imaging is often a useful adjunct to help patients visualize their potential results.

Answer: Breast augmentation with 250 or 300cc Hello and thank you for your question. You are a great candidate for a breast augmentation. The size, profile, and shape of the implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. This entire surgery can be performed with a small incision technique. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G.
