I like the look of low profile implants. I find all the photos of high profile to be far too unnatural. Do you think 300cc silicone low profile would be too small for my frame? I am 5'6 and 140lbs. I should also mention I am also getting a tummy tuck, as well. I am having a very hard time picturing my body with less of a tummy in order to choose my implants.
Answer: Breast implants Thank you for your questions. you have B-Lite in Turkey. you can have your procedure in Turkey we have B-Lite implants. Breast implants are sized according to their volume in cubic centimeters (cc). How do you know what size implant to choose? Looking at pictures and talking to friends who had a breast augmentation might help. Off course the volume will depend on the shape and size of your actual breasts, your frame and the size you want to achieve. Our plastic surgeon will advise you thoroughly. Bringing pictures of a desired restult to be shown to our surgeon, might be very helpful.

Answer: Still unsure on implant size. Do you think 300cc silicone low profile would be too small for my frame? 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: Lift instead of implants 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 scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. At the same time, a tummy tuck can be done. If you are not planning future pregnancies, I recommend abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement. The mesh creates a more hourglass figure by compressing the abdominal wall resulting in early satiety and helps maintain a reduced weight. Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Choosing the right size and profile breast implants for you 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 former patients with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. My patients tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size breast implant is right for them. They also get to see what they would look like when the implants 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.

Answer: MENTOR Volume Sizing System In my practice, I've found the MENTOR Volume Sizing System to be very helpful for my patients. It allows you to "try on" various sizers so that you can see and feel how you will look with any given size of implant. I recommend consulting with multiple ABPS board-certified plastic surgeons prior to surgery in order to ensure that your goals are best met.
