I am getting subpectoral with an inframammory incision with mentor implants. I am 5'5 and 115 lbs with a 32 a cup. During my consult I was told I have dense breasts and good skin so I can have the bigger size. I'd like to have a full C cup. I would like them to have a nice drop. Also, I like the look of the side boob. I am an esthetician so I do a lot of waxing and am wondering how much time I will need to take off of work. Is 8 days enough? What size do you think would fit me best?
Answer: I am torn between 350 CC and 400 CC with Mentor silicone implants and moderate plus and high profile. The best

Answer: Breast augmentation and sizing Thank you for your question and posting appropriate pictures. You seem to be a great breast augmentation candidate. While the difference between the two implants you mentioned are small, based on the descriptions, you would likely have your intended look with 400 mL high profile implants. I would recommend 3-D breast imaging with Vectra to look at the small nuances of this difference preoperatively. Breast of luck

Answer: I am torn between 350 CC and 400 CC with Mentor silicone implants and moderate plus and high profile. Thank you for the question and pictures. I think that you are starting at a good place and should have a very nice outcome with breast augmentation surgery. There is no accurate/reliable/predictable correlation between size/profile breast implant utilized and cup size achieved. Ultimately, careful communication of your goals (in my practice I prefer the use of goal pictures, direct examination/communication in front of a full-length mirror, and computer imaging) will be critical. Given that your surgery is coming up soon, I would suggest that you schedule additional time to spend with your plastic surgeon communicating your goals, preferably prior to the date of surgery. Be careful, that the implant size that you have selected won't leave you with the most common regret: “I wish I was bigger”.

Answer: Questions of Implant Size and Projection Questions of size and profile sometimes cannot be decided preoperatively. I routinely have the option for multiple sizes and projections for each augmentation I perform. Patients use sizers in the office while clothed to see what they will look like going out to dinner, heading out for the day, and just living their lives. I ask my patients to trust me to provide them the best result I can provide them in the OR using temporary sizers. Specifically related to your photos, your seem to have more fullness medially in your left breast/chest secondary to more prominent ribs along your sternum. The left breast actually appears larger as well. In my practice, I will tell patients in this situation that they may in fact have different volumes and projections. For instance, your could be a 400 cc high profile on the right and a 350 cc moderate plus profile on the left. Talk to your PS about these asymmetries and get multiple opinions from experienced board certified surgeons. Best of Luck .
