Me vs Wish Pics. Is it possible to get these results with 485cc implants? (Photo)

Question

I have tuberous breasts.. and I think my arm/shoulder area looks too big for how small my boobs are. I'm a 34A.. I think. And I want about 485cc implants (or to be at least a D). My wish pics are EXACTLY what I want... finger width of cleavage, round, full upper and lower pole -- yet natural looking, with the breasts kinda coming off to the side in a natural droop, instead of looking like bolt-ons smack dab in the middle of your chest (EW). can it be done with the breasts I already have?

Thanks for your question! I don’t think your expectation are unreasonable with that size implant. I think it’s important to identify that maybe you have a little bit more natural droop than your wish photos, but I think you should be able to achieve a result similar to that. Good luck!

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 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 later in life.

I recommend an in person evaluation by a plastic surgeon to be measured and discuss your goals. 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 profile 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 is right for them.

Dear sarahdic6,
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.

Good morning!
I do believe that size is the correct size range to achieve your goals, and that this type of result is quite possible- we would confirm when I measure your chest, we review photos together, and you have an opportunity to try on the breast implant sizers here in the office!

Nelson Castillo, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question and photographs. I think you are starting from an excellent position and should anticipate a nice result. Breast implant selection is an exciting, but stressful part of the breast augmentation process as there are so many choices. Unfortunately it is impossible to recommend the best implant style, size or shape without an in-person examination that allows for the measurement of key breast parameters, as well as permits an in-depth discussion as to your desired goals and outcome. I would recommend seeing additional ASPS board certified plastic surgeons to ensure that the implants you decide upon are the right ones to meet your expectations. It sounds as if it may be wise for you to "try on" several of the implants so that you can have a better visual representation as to what they would look like. Best wishes!

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

Your breasts are not tuberous, but are somewhat small and have mild sagging. I would suggest meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon, being measured, and trying on the range of sizes that best fits your frame and tissue. then, you will be able to see what you like and feel the weight.
