5'7" 145lbs (170cm, 65kg). With a breast augmentation, I'd like to gain some fullness. I know some surgeons would recommend a lift, but I'm not interested in that yet. What are your expert opinions about results I might be able to expect? Are there any particular shapes, sizes, or types of implants I should look at?
Answer: Moderate profile Thanks for your question! If your breastfeeding breasts are the look you are going for, then I do think you could do this without a lift. Your nipples will always sit lower on the breast mound, but as long as you are okay with that, you'll be happy. I would suggest a moderate profile, but I can't give cc recommendations without seeing you in person. Good luck!

Answer: Fullness without a Breast Lift Hi Swiss Mom, I don't feel that you need a breast lift yet. Placing round silicone gel (gummy bear) implants under your muscle will give you fullness like the picture of you before breastfeeding. I don't recommend going on top of your muscle because you are asking your skin to hold up the weight of your implant...they will sag in a few months. To achieve the size in the first photo you would need around 300cc implants. Since you are taller than average, you could easily go a cup size larger (around 450cc) if you wanted to be larger than your first picture. Hope that helps!

Answer: Fullness without a lift? From the submitted photos you can elect to have an augmentation without a lift. This will give you the fullness you are wanting. However it will not lift the breasts. The nipples will essentially be in the same position. I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to discuss your surgical goals and learn more about what you can expect in terms of results.

Answer: Breast implants without a lift? Hello, Thank you for the question and the photos. Based on your photos, you appear to be an excellent candidate for breast augmentation and it may be performed without a breast lift, however, it is difficult to tell definitively without an in-person examination. Implant size discussion and implant selection is one of the most important steps during your consultation with plastic surgeon. The decision-making process depends on your desires, as well as breast and soft tissue dimensions of your chest wall. I would seek an in-person evaluation by the Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon, in order to discuss your goals and concerns for the best cosmetic results. I hope this helps. Best regards, Dr. Karanetz Dr. Irena Karanetz Breast Fellowship-Trained Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Breast implants are best for volume. Today, smooth, round is the best option. You do have some sagging, but not enough that you have to have a lift. Anatomical or teardrop implants were popular in the past, but in the U.S. are almost totally abandoned. The reasons are (1) they are usually textured, which can cause a rare cancer called BIA-ALCL, and (2) round implants work great and avoid the problem of rotation of the implant. So your best bet is smooth, round, high profile implants, either silicone or saline. Studies have failed to show an aesthetic advantage for shaped implants.
