Can I go with moderate profile? I want a subtle, natural enhancement. I am currently a 34C. My BWD is 13.5. I would like to restore some upper pole fulness, while still maintaining a natural look. I would like to be a 34D or DD. PS said that I don't qualify for a lift because I don't have enough skin & due to my anatomy he's recommending high profile implants. Because my nipples droop, he's recommending I get at least 520cc to restore volume.

Answer: Breast lift Thanks for your question! I think that your plastic surgeon is trying to talk you into a larger implant to help kick your nipple up a little bit. However, based on your goals, I think that you will be larger and droopier than you want to be. I would suggest a moderate profile implant with a lift. Good luck!

Answer: Implant size selection Hello and thank you for your question! Implant sizing is a very subjective and personal process. Could those size implants fit in your frame/measurements? Yes, very likely especially with a higher profile/narrower implant with more projection. Will you be happy with that size implant and the "look" it will give you? Only you can answer that question and your surgeon should do his best to make it so you can answer that for yourself. If you have not tried on physical sizers inside of bra/clothes, that would be the next best way to determine if you like the look/feel/weight of implants around that size. In my opinion, placing 500cc+ sized implants will not give you a "subtle enhancement" as you refer. It will be very obvious and your breast volume will be 2+ cup sizes larger. Whether you consider it natural is more subjective - yes, you can make a breast that looks "nice" with that size implant, but it will be up to you and your goal "look" if you are happy with it and consider it "natural." When patients in my practice choose implants much higher than 400cc+, I also counsel them on the weight of "larger" implants (i.e. it is possible to then have some of the same symptoms that our breast reductions patients have, such as neck/back/shoulder pain). Good luck on your journey!

Answer: My Recommendation Dear MammaMiaMakeover, thanks for sharing your pictures and concerns, 520cc could be way uncomfortable and will not look natural. After analize your case you look like a great candite for breast augmentation with lift probably using a 325cc work better. But every plastic surgeon has his own techniques and protocol which he recommends to their patients. Make sure you go on consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps and best of lucks. Dr. Luis Mejia.
