I wear a 34 AA bra and have little breast tissue. I want a very natural look, maximum a small C but ideally a B cup. I wanted anatomical under the muscle but have been told that my nipples are positioned relatively high on my chest and that anatomical implants will make my nipples sit even higher, would round implants be a better option for me?
Answer: #nipple position Hi. Great question. It is a point that plastic surgeons debate at length. In short if your nipples are in a good position initially which is likely the case with you then you will not notice any difference in nipple height. I think what you are referring to is in patients that have grade 1 ptosis and loose lower pole skin then some surgeons will use an extra projecting anatomical implant to fill out the lower pole and this 'may' elevate the nipple more than a round. Regards

Answer: Breast Implants/ Breast Augmentation/ Anatomic Cohesive Gel Implants/ Silicone Implants/ Revision Breast Surgery I appreciate your question. The best way to determine implant size is based on chest wall measurements that fit your body. Once we determine that we can choose the profile based on what you want or need to achieve. Implants under the muscle, there is less risk of capsular contracture. Anatomic implants tend to give a more natural shape with more nipple projection. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery. Best of luck!

Answer: No I really don't think that implants change the nipple position DRASTICALLY on the chest wall if similar volume and size are used.Best Wishes,Nana Mizuguchi, MD

Answer: Implants As you can understand this question is a bit difficult to answer without seeing photos or meeting you in person.Some people are best suited to anatomical implants and some to round. It might be an idea to send a photo of your chest to Real Self for the board of surgeons to assess.At Aurora Clinics we use a 3-D simulation package to show you how you are likely to look with either round or tear drop shgaped implants. Please feel free to contact us should you wish to book a free consultation and 3-D simulation

Answer: Anatomic vs round implants Hi. You will no doubt see that each and every surgeon has their own "take" on this matter. Studies have shown that when placed under the chest muscle, one cannot discern round from anatomic implants in breast augmentation, when looking at the finished product. In other words, if you are going to place the implants in a dual plane (partial submuscle) there is no advantage in using anatomics as opposed to rounds from an aesthetic point of view. Anatomics possibly some advantages in a small, select sub-group of patients in my opinion, but not for the "bog standard" dual plane breast augmentation patient. Some patients with early droop, some patients with tuberous breasts, some breast reconstruction patients and those with very wide breast bases, but short chest heights, may be some of the patients that could possibly benefit. Anatomics have many disadvantages too, not least of which would be cost, and the possibility of rotation.
