I'm 31 a stay at home mother of 5 kids that I breastfed. I'm 5'10 and 160 lbs my stomach is flat and so are my boobs! I'm done having kids so I thought I should work on me. Very scared have so many questions For my doctor. I'm scheduled to see Dr. Soler Baillo in a Miami, Florida. I was referred by a friend. I just wearing bathing because I have to buy a large because I have hips and a butt so the top is always to big for my breast. I just want to go the safer route and inexpensive too.
Answer: After breast feeding, implants alone are not enough Your photographs are inadequate but since you have breast fed 5 children and it is highly likely that your breasts are ptotic. Many women focus on augmentation when they need a simultaneous lift to correct the shape asymmetries and ptosis. If that is your case, I recommend a new technique called Breast Augmentation with Mini Ultimate Breast LiftTM. Using only a circumareola incision it is possible to reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Through the same incision, implants can be placed. Aligning the areola, breast tissue and implant over the bony prominence of the chest wall maximizes anterior projection with a minimal size implant. Small round textured silicone gel implants placed retro-pectoral look and feel more natural, are more stable, less likely to ripple or have complications needing revision. Implant profile is irrelevant in the retro-pectoral position since the muscle compresses it. Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Should I do saline or silicone? Especially what size should I get too? Its difficult from the pictures you submitted. Without actually looking at your breasts, it's all a guessing game. Because of the large weight loss and your breasts biegn post-partum, I would suggest using silicone gel implants. THis will definitely improve your chnaces of avoiding rippling and the feel to your breasts will be more natural. You don't have adequate tissue coverage and therefore the saline implants will be very palpable underneath.Without pictures, it's very difficult to recommend sizes of implants. They should, however, be placed behind the pectoral muscle. Always seek out surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery who specialize in cosmetic breast surgery. Look at many, many photos to make sure that there is consistency to the work. Good luck.

Answer: Breast augmentation Although the choice is a personal one, I would be a happy to provide some facts about the two different options. Silicone implants look and feel more natural, have a lower risk of visible "ripples or wrinkles" and are currently the more popular choice for patinets. Physicians may recommend silicone over saline for patients who are very thin or have little breast tissue to help lessen the visible "ripples or wrinkles". Silicone implants may be recommended for patients using an over the muscle placement technique. Saline implants are slightly firmer if overfilled and hold their "round" shape better often making them a choice for patients seeking a "fake" look. The saline implants are filled with fluid that is very safe if "leaked" into the body and a patient usually immediately knows if they have a rupture or malfunctioning implant, whereas a silicone implant rupture may be undetectable or require expensive tests such as a MRI or Mammogram. Both implants are FDA approved, come in several different shapes, types and sizes and have been used for years safely on many patients.

Answer: Should I do saline or silicone? Especially what size should I get too? Thank you for your question. As far as size goes, you would need to have an in person consultation. Given that you are thin, I would recommend silicone implants. Saline will feel harder and more chance of seeing rippling on someone as thin as you.

Answer: Saline vs. Silicone It is difficult to say without better photos. Saline implants are less expensive but may be more palpable and give you a less natural feel if you are thin. Silicone gels generally feel better and are indicated for thin women, plus the can be shaped like a teardrop and give thin women a more natural look. The need for a lift also has to be considered depending on whether your breasts have dropped after breastfeeding. Best wishes, Dr. T.
