Vectra BWD accuracy vs. PS measurements; HSC+ Mod+ in "lifting" the nipples?

Dear cj224466,
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.

Your nipples are above the folds so you don't need a lift. You have more a deflated than sagging look. Surgeons are more accurate than a computer program which does not adjust well for small differences from the program.

This is where it is important to select the right surgeon. An experienced board certified surgeon will use her/his experience and knowledge to help you select the implant that best fits your body and your goals. It does not appear from your photos that a lift is needed and you should have a nice result from breast augmentation. Discuss with your surgeon your goals for the procedure. Bring along before/after photos of breasts you like and don't like. I've included a video about implant selection that I hope you find helpful.
