Will 200-300cc help fill loose skin? How do you feel about small implants? (Photo)

Question

I’m considering lift w implants. I’m 5’4” 140lbs, athletic build. I enjoy running and currently have been setting some personal records. Will 200-300cc implants slow me down much? Also do you think 200-300 can help fill loose skin. I have lots of loose skin from spilling out of a 38D to now 36 B or C. How do you feel about small implants? I would like tight skin, size C or D, and to not be too hindered athletically

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

You have too much loose skin to be filled by a small implant.  The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method.  This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.  Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained.  Later, fat transfers or small implants can be placed if additional volume is desired.

Best Wishes,

Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Implants shouldn't slow you down. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what is right for them.

I would suggest a lift and, if you want, small implants. I am a great fan of small implants in runners and also there is less sagging over time since they are not heavy.

Hello, having small implants is a personal choice, and I know you don't want a bigger projection so you can keep accomplishing physical activities.You will not achieve the intended result with loose skin in such sizes.To achieve the desired result, it is recommended that you combine a breast lift with implants.
