Missing rib - is it risky to have breast implants? (Photo)

I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and profile implants. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful.

Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs or told us your bra size. However, breast implants can be placed in front to the muscle, that way the muscle will in between your breast and lungs and will not allow the implant to compress your lungs.
