Does anyone have side by side comparison images on the same body type? I'm so stuck! It doesn't have to be my body type, just looking for overall comparisons. (if your interested, I'm 5’4 110lb and currently a 32C). I have one week to make my final decision. I cannot find what I am looking for on Google.
Answer: Decision on profile for implants and breast augmentation For my patients, we are able to use Crisalix which is a 3D imaging system to allow patients to "try" on implants and see how they might look after surgery. It is just for fun but allows patients to try on different styles, profiles and sizes. It is also helpful to understand asymmetry and individual anatomy. You can't really tell what different profiles and sizes look like from person to person. There is too much anatomical differences in patient's bodies and breast tissue to make the comparison. Consider seeing a board certified plastic surgeon with Crisalix to better visualize your post op breast augmentation goals.

Answer: 400cc saline - MP vs HP comparison images? Hello, thank you for your question. A board certified plastic surgeon will be able to guide you to the correct size implant. Based upon measurements of your chest wall and breast imprint width as well as knowledge of all breast implant sizes and profiles should make this process easy. Try on a profile bra with various silicone cc sizers your PS recommends under a tailored blouse, tank top, bikini, workout clothes, and other garments you typically wear so that you have the best idea of whether the garments fit as desired with the implant selected. Select the size that boosts your self-esteem, and fits your anatomy. Choosing an implant based on an aesthetic goal that exceeds your anatomic capacity may lead to complications and possibly revision.

Answer: The Big Mistake Everyone Makes You are mistaken thinking that an implant size, style, shape, or profile can be transferable from one person to another. Looking at someone else with a particular implant, even when the height, weight, and current bra size matches does not mean you'll get the same result. If you want usable information, HP implants have the highest complication rate and will negatively affect your body tissues over time, especially saline implants, due to their firm nature.

Answer: Always a good idea to check with your surgeon After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. You should also be aware that results of surgery can change in the future with significant weight change and/or stretching of skin from the milk of pregnancy.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Implant Profile: Information Dear Ms. C8TM, Thank you for your questions. Unfortunately without photos and measurements I can only give general advice. Breast size is a very personal choice. The correct answer is what proportions you want to achieve. My responses are: 1)sizing: A)purchase several bras (full bodied and no padding) of the size you think you want to be. As you realize there are no standard bra (strap/cup) sizes. B)take a measuring cup (1 oz=30cc) place rice in a nylon C) try on various volumes of rice with some form fitting clothes. 2) profile of implant: A) for the same volume the higher the profile the narrower the base width. B)there is very little difference in projection between a moderate to high profile implants thus little affect on how the actual nipple will look. C) the base width of the breast should equal the base width of the implant D)thus I personally chose the profile based on the patients chest measurements, (a high profile on a wide chest may not result in the cleavage desired and conversely a low profile on a narrow chest may result in implant in the outside arm area). 3)if implant is placed under the pectoralis muscle I usually add 10% volume to what the patient chooses.... To compensate for the muscle pressing down on the muscle and for the naturally settleing of the implant which often makes the breast appear smaller 2-3 months after surgery. I suggest you make out a list of your questions and bring your selected nude "model" photos of what your desired goals/look with you to your preoperative appointment. I trust you have chosen a experienced Plastic Surgeons who is Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and who is ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (denoting by membership as having met additional criteria and a focus on Cosmetic Plastic Surgery).
