5’6, 118lbs. Breastfed 2 babies. Having a hard time deciding between 225 moderate plus or 250 HP. I liked the 250 sizer, but I was told I would need HP if I went with the 250. My breast diameter is 11.5. My breast height is 10cm. I wanted to do at least 250cc, and I prefer the MP look. I was told that even though the 250 MP size (11.3 width) would fit at my breast base, it would come up too high in my chest wall since my breast height was only 10cm. Does this sound right? Thanks!
Answer: Not Necessarily True Implant sizing is complicated, and even practitioners can get confused or misunderstand how an implant impacts body tissue. Your crease will drop, even if not done intentionally. What's really important is the nipple to fold distance on stretch. If that is adequate, in your case 6.5 cms if you want the 250 volume, then you can get the moderate profile device.

Answer: Mentor 225 moderate plus or 250 HP implants? (Photo) None of the modalities to approximate final results from breast implants are 100% accurate; they merely facilitate the patient and the board certified PS concurring on the size and type of breast implant which will come the closest to reaching the patient's goal. My patients prefer to try on sizers under garments they typically wear to determine if they fit as expected and help allay some of their trepidation associated with this decision. Recommend that you follow the same procedure with the moderate plus profile in 225, and 250 and high profile in both sizes. I would recommend that you go with that size that boosts your self-esteem, and fits your anatomy. There is so little difference in the two sizes that I would defer to the larger of the two.

Answer: Which size of implant woulf fit me better? Thank you for your photos and question. Unfortunately so many factors play a role in the final outcome of the procedure of breast augmentation; in my professional opinion the difference between 225 moderate plus and 250 HP is quite subtle. I would suggest the 250 HP with dual plane technique (partial submuscular placement of the implants) but again your surgeon should be the best person to guide you in this decision.

Answer: Mentor 225 moderate plus or 250 HP implants? Thank you for your question and photographs. I think you are starting from an excellent position and should anticipate a nice result. Breast implant selection is an exciting, but stressful part of the breast augmentation process as there are so many choices. Unfortunately it is impossible to recommend the best implant style, size or shape without an in-person examination that allows for the measurement of key breast parameters, as well as permits an in-depth discussion as to your desired goals and outcome. I would recommend seeing additional ASPS board certified plastic surgeons to ensure that the implants you decide upon are the right ones to meet your expectations. It sounds as if it may be wise for you to continue to try on several of the implants so that you can have a better visual representation as to what they would look like. Best wishes!
