I would like to get 300 cc moderate plus silicone implants. Will this ruin my tattoo? Would you recommend a smaller size so it will not stretch as much?
Answer: Will My Tattoo Stretch With Implants? Dear Olund0221, As my colleagues have stated, It is unlikely that the implant you and your surgeon are choosing will cause any real noticeable distortion. Good luck. #Dr.Gervais

Answer: Tattoo stretch with breast implants? Based on your stating not only an implant size, but also a profile, I assume you have carefully consulted and sized with your plastic surgeon. If this is indeed the proper size for your anatomy and goals, it is unlikely to have a significant effect on your tattoo. There may be a bit of fullness starting on the front edge of your ink, but significant stretch is truly unlikely.I've done many women with tattoos on their chests and breasts, and even when they fall directly over the area of implantation, there is usually minimal distortion.As others have stated, however, no honest surgeon will be able to give you an iron-clad guarantee. But I do believe this is one thing that should be off your worry list. Cheers and Best wishes! Dr. Tholen

Answer: Breast Augmentation Tattoo Hi,About half of our breast augmentation patients have tattoos, and I see by the wording this must be very dear to you. Your implant size is reasonable, and should not expand your tattoo which is more on your ribs! Good luck with your surgery. Be sure to see a board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Stretching of your Tattoo... Stretching of your tattoo does not seem likely, although I am not sure any surgeon would be able to give you an answer with 100% certainty. The placement of the tattoo does seem far enough onto the chest wall that it will be safe, but a smaller implant might be protective. Most important is to pick an implant in conjunction with your surgeon that will meet your goals and be a safe option based upon your measurements.

Answer: Will my tattoo be stretched if I get Breast Implants? Although online consultants cannot promise you what types of effects breast augmentation surgery will have on your tattoo, it seems unlikely to me that the size of breast implant that you have selected will significantly change your tattoo. I would suggest that you communicate your goals carefully with your plastic surgeon and end up with the size/shape of breasts you are looking for; any change in tattoo shape/size should be a much lesser concern. Best wishes.
