I’m interested in getting a breast augmentation. I want to go from an A to a full D. However, my friend (doctor but not a PS) thought that because my breasts are positioned kind of high, in order to make it bigger, the surgeon would need to make space below the crease of the breasts so the implants would sit and look more naturally. Would this distort my sternum/underboob tattoo?

Answer: Breast augmentation Based on your picture your tattoo should be fine after the augmentation, an in-person consultation would be best for a detailed exam.Always see a board certified PS.

Answer: Breast augmentation and tattoo When implants are placed, there is stretching of the distance from nipple to fold. Going from an A cup to a full D cup is a big change, and sometimes this not possible if the skin envelope is too tight. I would NOT recommend lowering your breast fold in order to accomodate a larger size, because it can result in a double bubble deformity if the implant then slides down past the breast tissue, not to mention it lowers where your breasts sit overall. Leaving your fold as is, and placing as close to your goal size as possible, is a better idea, and would not affect your tattoo. Implant also do not distort your sternum, but do fill the breasts, and the horns on the tattoo may sit differently since this area may not be as flat after implants.
