Information seems to go back and forth of this topic when i research.. I have a barrel chest where my chest sticks out, slightly forward up, closer to my shoulder/upper arm area. Are breast implants still possible with something like this? I fear that with my chest poking out my breasts will never look s they should. Also is a certain profile better recommended for barrel chest ?
Answer: Breast augmentation/lift with a barrel chest? Is a certain profile better? Hello, thank you for your question. It is hard to tell without photos. I recommend that you schedule an email, Skype or in-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for proper evaluation. Low profile breast implants above the muscle can camouflage a barrel chest.

Answer: Barrel Chest and Breast Augmentation Without pictures, it is difficult to say what may work best for you. It is not unusual to encounter all different types of chest wall anatomy, and none of them should preclude a patient from having surgery. The key is choosing the best implant to match up with your goals, and this can only be done with an in person consultation. The best thing to do is to have a few consultations with board certified plastic surgeons and see what they recommend. I hope this helps.

Answer: Breast augmentation/lift with a barrel chest It is possible to have a very nice result from an augmentation and lift if you have a barrel chest. Your surgeon will discuss your goals for surgery during a consultation and help you select the correct implant for you. Typically a higher profile implant will be recommended.

Answer: BA with Pectus Carinatum There are many patients that have either Pectus Carinatum like you or the opposite problem termed Pectus Excavatum. In both cases a well-planned and executed breast augmentation procedure will provide a natural result and one that helps camouflage the sternal deformity. In your case, the limitation will be cleavage. With a Pectus Carinatum situation the natural breast and nipple are more laterally positioned. Your anatomy will not allow the implants to be placed as centrally as you might like and implants have a tendency to move to the side over time. Therefore, it’s very important to not over expand the “side boob” area. I don’t think the implant type or profile matters much assuming good pre-operative surgical planning. I hope this is helpful!Thomas S. Taylor, MD, INC
