Question

Can under boob & side boob be created during Revision surgery? I'm looking for a surgeon who can create a more natural look & drop to my breast. I am 5'6 130lbs currently (375cc Mod Plus profile Mentor silicone gel) Should I go bigger to create this goal look? My right pocket is really tight. Should the pocket be expended? Thanks.

Dear evangeline jamie,
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.

Hi - 
In my experience I believe you would benefit from a larger implant.  You may need some fold work based on how things look with your arms down and from the front view.  For sure you would need an in person physical exam to help determine the best surgery approach for you. 
All the best with your surgery,
