My doctor measured and advised me to go with high profile implants since I want a larger size (650-700 -and yes, I'm tall/heavy enough to pull it off) saline, under the muscle, inframammary incision. I did want to get opinions on if the 45/55 ratio (regarded as the "ideal" ratio of breast tissue above/below the nipple) is easily achievable with this placement of implant? Thank you, in advance.
Answer: Breast implants The proportion of the implant that ends up above the nipple versus below is dependent on many factors. The most important factor is the shape of your breast beforehand as well as the amount of greats tissue and how the tissue is distributed throughout your breasts.

Answer: 45/55 as the Ideal Ratio for Breast Implant Placement Thank you for your question.An in-office consultation with precise measurements of your breasts is necessary. Then, those measurements need to be compared to the dimensions of the implants that you have selected.

Answer: Can the 45/55 ratio be achieved with large high profile implants? (650-700 cc) What is more important than any specific artificially determined "ideal" ratio, which may or not be achievable in any particular patient, is the overall desired cosmetic outcome.The best

Answer: 45/55 Ratio I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about the 45/55 ratio. Your surgeons job is to make sure you get the best result possible. We have been doing this for millions of patients since well before a handful of people decided to write a paper on the subject. We take time to measure patients to figure out what range of implants will best fit, but there is no formula for picking the perfect implant. Your surgeon will likely place sizers first, and fill to different volumes to figure out what size or style looks best on you. The suggestion I would make is to give consideration to silicone implants. They tend to give a softer feel and you will be less likely to see rippling. These issues will bother you far more than not having the "perfect ratio." Good luck with your surgery.Dr J
