5’4/120 pounds/32B. I do not want a super fake look. I want an sig volume change but I want my breast to have more volume on the lower portion of the breast (how they naturally are now). I am getting silicone under muscle. The largest moderate profile he rec was 345cc. I did not think they looked big enough when tried on. 385cc HP filled out my shirt more. Will the HP look too round at the upper pole area for the look I’m going for? Or will it look similar to my natural breasts just bigger?
Answer: Size Going under the muscle does give nice upper breast fullness which most women prefer and are needing. As the size of the implant increases, the height may need to go up and the base down to fit. Your surgeon can help you with this. The additional 40 cc's is not a big change, so consider going with the larger implant if you thought the smaller was too small.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Thanks for your question! I suggest going in and trying on the implants again. Bring a tight fitting shirt so you can get an idea of how they will look. In my experience, patients usually wish they had gone bigger. Best wishes!

Answer: Implant selection Higher profile implants will produce more upper pole fullness than a moderate profile implant. If you are wanting a more natural look the moderate profile under the muscle is more in line with your goals. I encourage you to return to your surgeon to further discuss your desired results. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.

Answer: Choosing the right size and profile breast implants for you. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size breast implants. 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.

Answer: Implant size Dear ailujdracis, 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.
