Surgery in 4 wks and I'm torn. 1st dr Consult said 590cc silicone ULTRA HIGH PROFILE with anchor lift. Presently I have 400cc saline and stg 2 drooping. Dr. I chose to do my surgery is recommending 650cc MODERATE PROFILE silicone an Anchor.says the footprint is wider an itd lessen the gap in between my breasts an more uppr vol.said he'd never do ULTRA HIGH PROF cause of my lack of upper vol. I want a lesser gap but cleavage.Should I goto 700 high prof to get a bigger footprint AND more projct?
Answer: Depends.. Hello. This depends on your measurements and perhaps the breast implant size. The best advice on this is from the PS who has examined you and measured you breast anatomy. Best, Dr. ALDO.

Answer: Best Cleavage Your preoperative photos show a previous lift and implants. Going lager with a simultaneous anchor lift will lead to scar and healing challenges. I would advise you to stage these procedures and space them out by 6 months. Good luck and be well.

Answer: Which is better for more cleavage. .. moderate plus or high profile 650cc silicone implants? (photos) Thanks for the very interesting questions/issues presented. I am quite concerned that using that larger volume would cause a severe scar issue if doing an anchor lift simultaneously. I recommend doing the full anchor lift first than waiting 3 to 6 months and placing a large volume implant like 700 cc's. Just my over the internet opinion.. As for the diameter of the implant, I base that on the chest wall width and the desired appearance. If you want the more projected implant than use HP or UHP. I prefer the projection with cleavage effect so I would use the moderate + ...

Answer: Cleavage is determined by more than just the implants michelle,A couple of key points. First of all, with a more complex lift, the larger the implants the more tension there is going to be on the lift incisions, and thus the more potential for unfavorable scarring of those incisions under tension as well as the potential for wound disruption when oversized implant size is coupled with operative swelling for the lift. Weigh that issue carefully when proceeding. Also, the implants alone are not going to define your cleavage. The development of cleavage is not as easy as moving the implants closer together, or using larger implants, for that matter. It is the starting point anatomy of your chest wall, including sternal width, projection and lateral chest wall slopes that are primary determinants of cleavage, coupled with equally important issues of starting point beast anatomy, including nipple and breast base position and separation, soft tissue volume of the breasts, and soft tissue transition from the breasts across the breast bone. Starting point fold shape also defines the shape of your cleavage, as some breasts have folds that run closely parallel for a long distance, whereas others have folds that immediately diverge away from each other. The latter is particularly common in chest walls that have a prominent sternum and steeply sloped lateral chest walls. Your present and future implants are separated by the origins of the pectoralis muscles that attach along both sides of the breast bone, further defining the present distance between your breasts.The worst thing that can be done to "improve cleavage" is release of the medial muscles, however, as that leads to excessive thinning of the medial tissues with tendency to rippling at best, and medial migration of the implants, lifting the sternal skin and creating symmastia at worst. More projecting narrower implants (HP, UHP) also tend to accentuate the space between the breasts. Discuss these issues carefully with your surgeon and most importantly set realistic goals and expectations as any other approach will lead to disappointment, and potential problems. I have a thorough discussion of cleavage determinants on the linked page below. I hope that this explanation helps.
