Small, deflated breasts after nursing, would 200-250cc fill them back up? (Photos)

Question

I like small breast, but I’m deflated after nursing my child… I want a breast augmentation could I get away with 200-250cc?I’m currently 32D bra (prior to pregnancy as well) I’m probably supposed to be wear a 32C tho. My breast have deflated from nursing. I want to fill my bra back up. I like small breast. I do not want large fake looking breast. I love the natural look. I'm just wondering if I can get away with 200-250cc high profile to fill back up the missing space? Or would I need a lift as well?

You would probably be fine with just an augmentation and not a lift since the areola/nipple appear to be at or slightly above the inframammary fold.  In the 200-250 range you probably would be better off with a moderate profile device than a high profile which may be too narrow.

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. Implant sizing is based on measurements taken during an examination but based on your photos you are a great candidate for breast augmentation and should achieve a great result without a lift.

Hello, thank you for your question. Implants would just help add volume. Speak to your plastic surgeon about your options. Be sure to bring in some wish photos. check out our before and after gallery.

The technique I recommend is a lift using The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scar are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.

I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. 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, if interested. 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. Mildly Sagging Breasts: If your breasts are mildly droopy, a saline or silicone gel implant placed behind the pectoral muscle might help create the illusion of perkiness. That’s because as the implant fills out the top of the breast, it also fills out the bottom, making it look as if the nipple has moved higher. It hasn’t. You can always get a lift later if you feel you are not perky enough when fully settled and healed. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

The implant sizes you mention will be far too small. 300 to 350 more appropriate and still very conservative.

It is really difficult to answer your question as there is a lot that goes into sizing our patients.  We perform measurements, evaluate the skin envelope elasticity, look at photos, look at diagrams and finally use the Allergan sizing system to size the patient in the office.  We obviously listen and discuss exactly what the patient wants and doesn’t want so that we can deliver the expected results.

Judging by your photos, I would say you may be borderline as far as a lift is concerned.  An in person exam could help clarify what would be your best option.

Your best path to determine what size would work and how big you can and if you need a lift or not would be would be to seek out a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options in a consultation.  Make certain the surgeon you choose has great deal of experience in breast implant surgeries.
Hope that helps.

Dear Raindrop808,
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.

During the consultation, you will be examined and measured to see if a lift is needed and what range of sizes that will fit your frame and tissue.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

From your photos it appears that the implant size you are considering may be too narrow if you elect  high profile implants.  Visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to discuss your goals.  After measuring your breasts you can discuss different implant options to give you the look you are wanting.
