Is there an ultra-high profile saline implant choice? (Photo)

Saline implants may not be the best option for your body type. They will likely have a more obvious, round look, especially if you go with a higher profile option. If that's the look you're going for, they could be a good choice, but I'd encourage you to review all your options in consults with several surgeons.You mention that you like the fact that saline implants can be adjusted during surgery, but this really isn't a factor for a skilled plastic surgeon. They will be able to advise you about the right implant size before surgery - it is very rare for surgeons to want to make implant adjustments during the breast augmentation procedure itself.I'd encourage you to consult with several board-certified plastic surgeons in your area about both saline and silicone options. One tool that might help is a computer imaging software called Vectra. It allows you to see what different implants might look like on your own body frame, which definitely sounds like an important concern for you. I'm including an example of before and after images taken with Vectra.

Excellent and very natural breast augmentation results can be achieved with highly cohesive, shaped silicone implants in the sub-muscular position. Very few surgeons use saline implants at this point in time.

Hello,Intra-operative adjustments are not necessary in anyone, and the majority of the world uses silicone gel implants, a much better choice for many reasons.  Ultra high implants look like balls, and are at highest risk for many complications.Find a few surgeons that are certified by the ABPS and members of the ASAPS to have a consultation with.  Best of luck!

I appreciate your question.Breast implants come in different sizes and types. As a national educator and trainer for anatomic or gummy bear implants, they have more projection per profile than their round counterparts.They also give a more natural fullnessPlease visit our website for some befores and afters The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

Hi,

Thanks for posting your question. I am happy to try and help you. It is
important to remember that a board certified plastic surgeon will be your best
resource when it comes to an accurate assessment of your situation, and
concerns.

Having said that, thank for your height and weight and breast size estimates,
they do help. There is really no way to accurately predict what size you would
like without an examination. During your examination and consultation, you
should try on some sample sizes and see what you are comfortable with. Then the
PS can help explain with the size and current condition of your breasts.

If you have accomplished this step, then trust your plastic surgeons advice as
to what would be the best size for you.

Best wishes,

Dr. Michael J. Brown

and you should simply see a local board certified plastic surgeon for more information.  High profile implants may work better but it depends on your goals, the size you want, and whether fake is acceptable to you.  And due to your thinness on top, you really should seriously consider gel over saline to avoid the rippling that  you will develop with saline.

You should consider silicone gel implants.  There are many variables in recommending implant size/type. I base my implant recommendation on patients' body (chest height, chest width, existing breast tissue) as well as their desired look. I would go for the desired look. Review before and after photos and see what kind of look that you want. Share your wish photos with your plastic surgeon.Implants come in different types (silicone, saline), shape (round, anatomic), and profiles and volume. More meaningful recommendation can be made based on direct examination and in-person consultation. Please visit with a board-certified plastic surgeon.Best regards.

Thank you for the question.  Based on your photographs, I think that you are starting at a good place and should have a very nice outcome with breast augmentation surgery. Yes, ultra high profile breast implants are available and appropriate for certain patients ( with specific dimensions and specific goals).  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.

Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery (regarding breast implant type/size/profile selection) is:

1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Careful selection of your plastic surgeon, as opposed to the specific type of breast implant utilized, will be (by far) the most important decision made when it comes to achieving your goals. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.

2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals.
In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. For example, I have found that the use of know words such as “natural” or "C or D cup” etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. Again, the use of computer imaging has been very helpful during the communication process, in our practice.

3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery, after the use of temporary intraoperative sizers.
I hope this (and the attached link, dedicated to breast augmentation surgery concerns) helps. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.

The short answer is no, there is no ultra high profile saline implant at this time. The long answer is most plastic surgeons do not use saline implants except in rare occasions I have abandoned them in my practice for several reasons. They are heavy. They look unnatural and round They cause severe drooping and thinning They have a very high incidence of rippling wrinkling and revision. There are many different silicone alternatives for you to choose from. A large high-profile saline implant would not be in your best interest
