What is meant by “upper pole fullness”? Do mine have upper pole fullness? photo)

Question

this may sound like a dumb question but I’m planning on putting up my journey & want to be as thorough as possible. What exactly is “upper pole fullness” referring to after a BA? I read a lot of things that it refers to very round looking “fake look” breasts. I asked my PS for a more “natural” look personally but to get back some Of the “perk” I lost with age . Do mine have upper pole fullness or is that more like “round/high/augmented looking” breasts. Thank you!

Hello, "upper pole fullness" simply refers to a full appearance to the upper part of the breasts, rather than a "deflated" or hollowed-out appearance that some people have naturally, or that can occur naturally after pregnancy and breast feeding or with aging.  Based on the photo there is significant upper pole fullness.

Thank you for your question! The term “upper pole fullness” refers to the volume on top of the breasts. Based on your pictures, you have upper pole fullness which is the round, top portion of the implants. I recommend discussing specific post op questions with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck!

Yes you have upper pole fullness. High profile implants are famous for providing upper pole fullness. The high profile implants are used to lift a saggy breast and fill in lost volume. Good luck.

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph.  It does appear that your breasts have upper pole fullness - referring to the volume maintained in the upper half of each breast.  As an implants profile and volume increase, this area tends to become more "full".  Hope this helps.

Hi, thank you for your question. 
Based on your photos, you seem to have the appropriate amount of upper pole fullness. It can’t be thoroughly  assessed without an in person examination. 
Upper pole fullness is more of a descriptive phrase rather than something that is a well defined measurement. It simply means that the upper half of your breast has volume. “Full” or “deflated” are relative terms that are subjective. 
I hope this helps.
