Can I get bigger implants? (Photo)

Question

Can I look like my goal pic? And what approach would you take? I want to go bigger but using a new incision, my areola or armpit. I don't want scars underneath I'm getting my scars treated so I don't want to use them again. Also what size implants can make me look like my goal pic. I started off A cup now I'm a C cup but want DD like in the goal pic

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

Your implants have already bottomed out and are very low on the chest wall.  Adding additional weight will make the situation worse.  At this time, I recommend explantation and lift using The Bellesoma Method.  The implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated 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 if not injured during your previous surgery.  Later, fat transfers or small implants can be placed if additional volume is desired.

Best Wishes,

In my opinion the IMF (or under breast) incision is the best incision for any revisions and pocket manipulation. Since you already have a scar there, doing the procedure from a different location is just adding another scar to your body. I dont know which of those pictures is you and which is your goal picture, but a combination of implant size change, pocket manipulation, and occasionally some sort of lift can be used to help. I always tell my patients to send in goal pics not so that I can promise to make you look like this person or that person exactly, but just to know the look that you like and that I will get you as close to that as your anatomy allows. Implants look very different on every single person and there are anatomy limitations that come into play as well.

No, you will not be able to support DD implants since you are not supporting your C implants now.  Your breasts have bottomed out from the weight, and you need your lower pockets tightened with mesh for support. Going larger will just stretch and thin your own breast tissue and skin even move and let your implants fall back down again.

I’m assuming the picture of you is the second picture.
If so, it looks like you were implants have bottomed out.
I generally do not recommend patients use excessively large implants.
Doing so increases the chances of having complications, undesirable, secondary side effects, increased, revision rates, and other problems.
 You are already having a problem with your current implants which have bottomed out.
You should get this corrected by someone who has extensive experience with this type of breast surgery, which is not easy. 
I did not recommend increase implant size, at least not until the problem of your bottom out. Implants has been fixed and stable over a long period of time.
Correcting bottomed out implants is usually done with internal suture often with reinforced with mesh or cadaver dermal products.
Look for plastic surgeons who have successfully treated bottomed out implants many times before.
This may take some looking around.
Increasing implant size is going to increase the chance of this and other complications.
Best,
