565cc round to Mentor 755cc teardrop! Are Mentor best for projection? (Photo)

Question

I’m changing my 565 high profile b.lite round implants to Mentor 755 ultra high profile teardrop as I feel my breast are pancake like and don’t project enough! Are Mentor implants the best brand for projection and will I see a decent difference in the size? Or would I be better going with round 800cc? I would like to go even larger but that as big as the implants go! Thank you in advance

Dear Madness1970,
breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.

I do not recommend going with 800 cc's since these are very large and heavy. The tear drop Mentor implants should give you a better look.

Thank you for your photo.

Sometimes one needs a reality check. Your breasts look great. You risk it all trying to achieve your vision.

Best to reevaluate.

Good lock.
