I had my breast augmentation surgery Jan 2018: Motiva Ergonomix 335cc, HP, 11,25 cm base, 4,6 cm projection on both sides. I am not satisfied with the result, because hey feel and look fake to me, the projection is too high and they are to wide apart from each other. During last consultation my surgeon suggested going with Motiva Ergonomix 285 cc,11,25 base mid profile, but I am not sure that he understands what I aim for. What would you suggest for as natural look as possible for my frame?

Answer: Unhappy with BA result I would not be too critical of your result. Although there is some asymmetry, you did exhibit this preoperatively. It is more difficult to achieve a perfectly natural appearance in patients who are very slender with little breast tissue than with patients having more breast tissue. The implants must be centered directly below the nipple, so that positioning the implants closer together would result in the nipples being malpositioned. If size is an issue, reduce the volume of your present implants by 25-30%. Talk to your PS to convey your wishes.

Answer: Breast Implant Revision Dear 875,Hello and thank you for your excellent question. Breast implant sizing is a combination of current versus desired breast size, chest wall and breast measurements, and skin and subcutaneous tissue quality. 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!
