Before I had children I was big chested and would like that same look back! I just don't want to go too big! I am 5'7, 120lbs, BWD 14cm. Would 450cc moderate plus be to big, under muscle, inframammary incision. Since I have had two pregnancies with extended nursing on both would my implant look saggy?
Answer: 450cc Your breasts would definitely be larger with a 450cc implant. They would be significantly larger than the photo with the bikini that you show. You should get a good lift effect from the implant as well. It appears you have some natural degree of synmastia/cleavage. A surgeon would need to be careful to make sure the implants are not too close together in your situation.

Answer: Implant Too Top Heavy? You are fairly tall at 5'7" with a normal chest width, so a larger implant on you would not look as big as the same sized implant on a shorter person. A 450cc implant is not a huge implant and I think from you photos will give you a balanced look. You are starting with a normal breast shape and with a properly placed 450cc moderate plus implant you should not look too top heavy. Having said that, there is not any one size that is perfect for each patient, but there is a range of sizes that will give you a balanced not overly augmented look. I think that the 450cc implant is towards the upper end of that range, but should still be fine for you.

Answer: Implant size Thank you for your question. I wouldn't be able to give an accurate answer or assesment without an in-person exam, for measurements. The best thing to do is find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, have a consultation. At that appointment you should be able to try on the implants and see what they would look like after your surgery. Implants look different on every person, so you just have to find what is right for you for the look you are wanting and what fits your body. If you would like additional information regarding breast augmentation, you can download your free copy of my Breast Augmentation Planner, which has over 30 pages of information regardining breast augmentation. You can download this planner at ABetterBreast.comBest of luck to you!

Answer: Will my 450cc Moderate Plus Silicone Implants be too top heavy & saggy on my body? Thank you for the question and pictures. You are starting at a good place and should have a very nice outcome with breast augmentation surgery. As you consider breast augmentation surgery, the most important decision you make is NOT size/profile of breast implant, but selection of plastic surgeon. 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 are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work. 2. Again, 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" or "too big" 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. Therefore, I ask that my patients not base their communication preoperatively OR their satisfaction with the outcome of surgery postoperatively, on achieving a specific cup size. 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. The use of temporary intraoperative sizers, viewing the patient's breasts in the upright and supine position, are very helpful during the breast implant selection process. I hope this, and the attached link (dedicated to breast augmentation surgery concerns), helps. Best wishes.

Answer: In Search of the Right Size Hi there, and thank you for your question. It's common for women to lose breast volume after pregnancy, and it's great that you have a clear picture in mind for your desired results. It's difficult to make a sound recommendation without an in-person evaluation, but 450 cc implants may contribute to the "top heavy" look you're trying to avoid. A smaller round implant can restore the upper pole volume seen in your "before" photo without adding the risks of excessively large implants, whereas an anatomically shaped implant might allow you to get more volume but still look very natural. An in-office consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon can help you make the best decision for yourself. Best of luck!
