2 years later after BA, developed cap con in the left breast, going to replace both implants. Going from Natrelle Inspira 375cc, mod profile, unders to maybe Natrelle Inspira FULL profile, 485cc overs in hopes to achieve more upper pole fullness. Don't want to go bigger, but fuller. My frame is 5'6", 215 pds, 15bwd. Dr suggested I go with Natrelle Extra Full profile, 545cc, but I feel that will be too big :( . Thank you in advance.

Answer: Will Natrelle full profile, 485cc, over the muscle, look unnatural? Based on your photos, I think you need a revision of your breast lift and perhaps slightly larger implants to give you the upper pole fullness you are looking for. Switching the implants to on top of the muscle will likely cause significant bottoming out, less upper pole fullness with time, and an increased risk of recurrent capsular contracture. Best regards.

Answer: Implant size Dear curvyme123, breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.
