Have chosen 375cc for left and 400cc for right, moderate profile. What will the implants do for my shape? Will I have side boob?

Question

I have had my consultation, I have pre-op on Monday October 15th and surg October 18th. I will be asking my surgeon this on Monday but I am just wondering what my implants will do for my breast shape as I wear a 34D in Victoria secret bras.My left breast measured 13.4cm and we chose a 375cc moderate profile 13cm width (natrelle I believe) My right breast is going to have a 400cc 13.25 width implant.I am also having a lift and going under the muscle. Will I have side boob? I really want more

It is difficult to determine what things would look like without seeing what your breasts look like before hand, as well as having measurements performed and a proper exam.You certainly are maximizing your base diameter by choosing an implant that is close to your base diameter.  Other than going larger and moving into the Full profile, you may be maxed out with that particular profile.I would make certain your surgeon is a board certified plastic surgeon.  Wish you the best on your procedure.Hope that helps.

Implants enhance each patients breasts individually and so without any idea what you look like before surgery, there is really no way to comment on how you will look after.  Make sure that you bring in photos of a volumetric look that you wish you accomplish.  This will help your surgeon decide which volume is appropriate for you.I hope that helps and wish you the very best.Warmest regards,Gregory A Buford MD FACSBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author

want side boob and as much cleavage as your anatomy will allow, you/your surgeon will need to pick an implant wider than your base width.

Dear BSFmom3,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.Daniel Barrett, MD

Your plan sounds reasonable. Without photographs, measurements and a physical examination your question can not be answered adequately by us.Good Luck!

Thanks for writing,Unfortunately without examining you and without photos it is essentially impossible to answer your question. The person who is most qualified is the Board Certified Plastic Surgeon you chose to operate on you. I would ask you what were you told? Did he /she review your options with you? Did they go over risks, benefits  and complications? Did they review your photos with you? Do you believe you have a full understanding of the operation? If not, I would strongly suggest you return for further discussion prior to committing to the surgery.Good LuckStephen M. Davis, MD, FACSGreen Hills Plastic Surgery

Dear BSFmom3,Hello and thank you for your excellent question.  You should be evaluated for a No-Vertical-Scar breast lift technique.  Some people refer to this as the Bellesoma Breast Lift technique. Our technique provides an exceptional breast lift, upper pole fullness, relief from neck and back pain, and no vertical breast lift scar. It uses a woman’s OWN breast tissue to produce an internal suspension technique, without the need for a breast implant. It does not disturb the nipple, areola, or breast glands, so sensation and the ability to lactate is preserved. It uses 3D scanning of your breasts and body to design a procedure specifically designed for YOU, and you alone. Finally, for patients who desire breast enlargement, it can be combined with fat grafting. It is best to answer your question during a face-to-face evaluation, when you can discuss your goals and expectations for the procedure, and you can have a physical examination to evaluate for that procedure. I recommend that you find a board-certified, or board-eligible plastic surgeon with whom you are comfortable. Be sure to have all of your questions answered during a face-to-face meeting with your surgeon, and review before and after pictures of similar patients whom have had this procedure. If you have any questions, call our office for assistance. Good luck!
  
Best,

Without photos and an in person evaluation, it is impossible to answer your question.  Prior to surgery, meet with your surgeon to get all your questions answered.
