Which silicone implant will give me the best results? (Photo)

Implants
alone will not give you the results you desire.
Your nipples are too far apart and I recommend a new technique called
Breast Augmentation with Mini Ultimate Breast LiftTM. Using only a circumareola incision it is
possible to reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness, elevate
them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Through the same incision, implants can be
placed. Aligning the areola, breast
tissue and implant over the bony prominence of the chest wall maximizes
anterior projection with a minimal size implant. Small round textured silicone gel implants
placed retro-pectoral look and feel more natural, are more stable, less likely
to ripple or have complications needing revision. Implant profile is irrelevant in the
retro-pectoral position since the muscle compresses it. 22% of women who undergo breast augmentation
alone require revision within 2 years because they are dissatisfied with the
results. This will most likely happen in
your case because your nipples will be too far apart and will have too much gap
between your breasts.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

The difference in volume between 300 cc and 325 cc implants is very small.  This is less than a shot glass, and honestly would be difficult for anyone to tell the difference easily - volume wise.I always measure the breast width diameter when considering implant selection.  Based on this and your desired volume, a variety of implants will "fit".Maximizing your diameter will decrease your projection.  As your nipple must be centralized over the implant (and breast mound), a wider diameter may give you more cleavage and ensure better centralization of the nipple areolar complex.  A wider implant will give less projection though.All this depends on the width of the implant that will fit your breast.  Talk to your board certified plastic surgeon.  They will help you decide.

The
only way to provide a truly acceptable answer to your question is to see you in
consultation and perform an examination. Otherwise, only generalizations can be
offered.



Breast
base width is one of the most important measurements, but decisions regarding
implant selection are also based upon breast size and shape, tissue compliance,
and the desired appearance. In most circumstances it is very important to
respect the dimensions of the breast (esp. with a subpectoral augmentation) and
the skin envelope tissue compliance to achieve a natural result and reduce
post-operative morbidity.



In
general, the width of the breast implant should not exceed the base width of
the breast by more than a few millimeters. A subglandular or subfascial augmentation
may allow you to choose a slightly larger diameter implant, and may help you
achieve more narrow cleavage. In a subpectoral augmentation, the medial extent
of the pocket is defined by the origins of the pectoralis major muscle; these
origins need to be respected and left intact. Therefore, trying to narrow
cleavage is difficult with a subpectoral implant location, and the distance
between the breasts remains unchanged. The risks and the benefits of these
pocket locations need to be considered carefully when making decisions
regarding the final result you desire, and can be discussed with your surgeon
in detail.



Implant
profile also plays a role in the final breast shape. I think moderate profile
implants tend to produce a more natural result because they are less spherical
in shape. High profile implants tend to produce a shape that is more round and
has more projection, but not necessarily more upper pole fullness. In women with
narrow chests moderate profile implants sizes are sometimes limited, and higher
volume options are available if high profile implants are selected instead. If
using implants in a subglandular position to narrow cleavage, then high profile
implants should be avoided and moderate profile or anatomic implants are better
options.



You
should consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who is experienced with
breast augmentation. The consult should allow you the opportunity to describe
your desires for breast size, shape, and implant type. A thorough exam should
be performed. You should understand all the differences between saline and
silicone gel breast implants. The risks and benefits of the proposed operation,
as well as the estimated outcome should be discussed in detail. The first step
to a good result is a trusting and open relationship with your surgeon.
Different surgeons will have different recommendations, so more than one
consultation may be beneficial for you.

I would strongly suggest reconsidering the plan.  First of all dont even think about a dual-plane or under the muscle technique, your wide separation will be emphasized.  You need a low profile implant such as an Allergan Style 10 or preferably a shaped form stable implant like an Allergan style 410 FM or Sientra Classic Oval.  You need to fill a wide space and high profile implants cannot do this.  I would strongly recommend a subfascial technique or if you are unable to find a doctor experienced in subfascial breast augmentation, find one with good results with subglandular.  A high profile implant in a dual plane position will look like widely separated torpedos and this should be avoided!  I hope this helps!All the best,Rian A. Maercks M.D.

Most surgeons like moderate plus profile for natural results as you will have less "OOMPH" up top, a very personal decision but it sounds like you have a great surgeon!

Thank you for your question. It is much better to accurately discuss implant volume and projection with an in office exam and detailed measurements. In order to make an accurate size recommendation, I would need to assess your chest wall and breast mound measurements/characteristics. I use these measurements to help me during the sizing process to guide you to a safe result for your chest wall and just as important, one that meets your end desires.The next step is to try on this range of implants in the office with your doctor. The key to this success is showing your surgeon the body proportion you desire with a bra sizer and allowing your surgeon to guide you to the right implant. It will be much easier to communicate in implant cc's than cup size when determining the appropriate implant for you during the sizing process. In addition, review of photos and use of rice bags can be very helpful to the patient and surgeon in achieving a safe and happy result. Close intereaction and involvement from your surgeon during this process can help alleviate the anxiety and fears of choosing the right size. I wish you a safe recovery and fantastic result.Dr. Gill

Your right breast is very lateral and will be more obviously different after augmentation.  I would examine you and evaluate other options including fat grafting with BRAVAIn breast augmentation I have chosen to spend time reviewing
photographs with patients to fully understand their expectation of size and
shape. Many times this simply raises
more questions. I will make measurements
and use the implant guides to allow the patient to understand exactly the sizes
that are reasonable for their body type and measurements.

Thank you for the question and picture. Base on your photograph, you are starting at a great place and should have a very nice outcome with breast augmentation surgery.  However, despite good intentions, online consultants will not be able to provide you with  meaningful specific advice.  Ultimately, in person consultation with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons will be necessary. Careful measurements, dimensional planning, and careful communication will be key.
Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering  breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is:
 
1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully.  Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you're looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.
2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your   desired goals  with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining which operation and/or breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals.
In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or "C or D cup" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
 Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup  size may also be inaccurate.  The use of computer imaging may be very helpful during this communication phase.
3.  Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly,  allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals.  Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery.
I hope this, and the attached link, helps.

I would agree that based on your photo that you have a significant gap between your breasts.  An important measurement you did not mention is the base width of your breast.  This measurement helps to determine the appropriate profile.  I am guessing a bit without that measurement but based on my experience you are likely going to get better medial fullness with a moderate (Mentor moderate plus) profile implant.  Be sure to discuss this with your surgeon.  Ask him or her about the base width measurement.  

Thank you for the picture.I do agree with your surgeon, a 325 cc implant will give you the volume you're seeking.Dr. Campos
