I'm 5'10" and 140 pounds. I'm currently a small 34A. I've had two children and breast fed both of them. I'm very lean (16-17% bodyfat) and workout a lot. Is subglandular or submuscular better for someone like me? I've decided that I would prefer silicone implants. What size implant would you recommend? I would like to be a "full C" but open to suggestions. But I don't want to look disproportionate. I'm not sure of the difference between medium profile and high profile. How does this affect the end result?

Answer: Right for me? Your questions are all very good ones and will be easily answered when you have your consultation. You can see the implants, try on the sizes and your chosen surgeon will be able to help you sort out your choices so that you can find the one that is best for you.

Answer: Size & type of implants? The best cosmetic result in any particular breast augmentation patient depends on a variety of factors, including: your individual anatomy, realistic expectations, a thorough discussion with the plastic surgeon about the options, and an understanding of the pros and cons of any particular implant choice. Proper sizing is not just about the number of cc’s. The thickness of your tissue, breast dimensions which include the width, height, and projection, as well as chest wall width all need to be considered when choosing an implant. Trying on implant “sizers” of various shapes and volumes while wearing a tight t-shirt, bra, or bathing sit at a preoperative visit will help you and your surgeon choose the optimal implant. Keep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you what to do without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedure would not be in your best interest. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Robert Singer, MD FACS La Jolla, California
