I’m having a lift and smaller implant replacing my 500 mod plus. I’m going 375 mod plus with the lift with the anchor scar. Curious if 375 will still fill me out nicely, or if it will be to small for my 5’8, 150 pound frame.

Answer: That plus the lift may make it noticeable I think with the amount of tissues that you have, if you just changed your implants you probably wouldn’t notice much size difference, maybe half a cup. But it also depends on how much tissue they are going to remove when you do the lift. I personally tend to remove more tissue so less will droop in the future. But it depends on how much your doctor thinks they will remove !!!

Answer: Implant size and type Dear sammyy24,breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.Daniel Barrett, MD
