Hello and thank you for your question. You are a great candidatefor a breast augmentation. The size, profile, and shape of theimplant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wallmeasurements, and soft tissue quality. This decision shouldbe based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both youand your surgeon. This entire surgerycan be performed with a small incision technique. Make sure youspecifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who havehad this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find asurgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with aqualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.Best wishes and good luck.Richard G.

Hello DeflateGateloveNEPATS.Your photos demonstrate you are indeed a good candidate for breast augmentation and would look really good with a variety of breast implant sizes and styles. I suggest a formal consultation and careful measurements of your breasts. Once these measurements are taken, then a more careful assessment of your goals can be considered and the recommendation for size and implant shape can be made.I think you're very close with this particular size you have mentioned. See my link below to find out more information about sizing. Best wishes, Dr. ALDO
Hi there. Thank you for your question and photos. You have lovely natural breasts now. What size you wish to achieve will need to be decided based on your measuements and tissue. I use 3D imaging with the Crisalix system to help my patients understand what their goals are. Your MS should not be a problem with your desire to have BA. Good luck.
Choosing the right implant for you requires an exam in person. You would also need medical clearance from your neurologist regarding the MS.
Thank you for the question and pictures. Based on your photographs, I think that you are starting at a good place and should have a very nice outcome with breast augmentation surgery. Breast procedures can be done safely for patients with a variety of different “medical conditions” including well-controlled multiple sclerosis. Careful evaluation and treatment of the medical condition is necessary prior to determining the appropriate candidates for the breast procedure. In your case this would be best done by your neurologist. Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is:1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. For example, I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or "C or D cup” etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. Again, the use of computer imaging has been very helpful during the communication process, in our practice.3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery, after the use of temporary intraoperative sizers.I hope this helps. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.
There is far more to deciding the proper implant than one number. Height, breast width, existing breast tissue, the final "look" you want. I have patients show me photos of the proportions they want - much better than trying to use words. I have included a short video showing why dimensions are much more important than volumes when discussing choosing an implant.
The only way to know what size implants to use is to try on many different ones without knowing what volume the are. Use a tight sports bra to get good compression then try on everything from 300cc to 600cc and work back and forth until you find the right size. The breasts should be proportionate to the shoulders, hips and buttock. The only concern with MS is if you have a flair. Heavy steroids are detrimental to healing. So if this happens after surgery there's a risk of the wounds opening up or infection. Most of the MS patients I've operated on are well controlled without steroids.
Thank you for the question. Semantics can be confusing. When surgeons talk about placing breast implants "behind the muscle", they are usually referring to "partial" or "dual plane" positioning. In other words, all of these terms refer to the same sub muscular (as opposed to sub glandular pos...
You seem to be in good hands, with the correct tests being performed. The results should guide further treatment. If they are negative & the seroma re accumulates then it is likely that you will need further surgery. The possibilities are drainage, removal of implant or removal & rep...
And your surgeon has implemented the strap protocol to help get them down. If you have smooth round implants, this should work nicely. If you have textured anatomic implants, its more uncertain as to just how much setting you can get. Your surgeon should want the best outcome for you so fo...
