I'm 5'5 and 103 lbs and am a b cup. I want to be a full c cup and have more cleavage and a rounder shape to my breasts. Projection isn't much of a goal of mine. I tried on 300cc mod plus implants and they looked very large but the Drs assistant recommended that to me. I liked the look of the 200cc moderate profile but the dr said it won't look good. 300 just felt so large. Also, my creases are at different levels which make my nipples look at different heights. Can the crease be lowered by 1cm?
Answer: Your goals are always most important Based on your starting point you are an excellent candidate for smaller volume lower profile implants. 200 cc is a small implant but it would probably be exactly what YOU want. In my practice I use Vectra 3D imaging as an education tool to discuss size and shape related concerns. We want to avoid dropping a fold whenever possible but it is often necessary. This is something that cannot be assessed on photos alone, ask your PS if it is a good idea based on their exam.

Answer: Implant Sizing Hello,You have a great starting point. You should be bio-dimensionally mearsured, and re-sized in the office of a few more surgeons. I feel that using sizers in the office really gives both the patient and doctor the best idea of her aesthetic goals. It is true that in office sizing overestimates projection. So, if you liked the 200 cc sizer, you would get approximately the same look with a 225 cc or 250 cc implant. Based on your photos and your probable choice in implants, I would not think your crease needs to be lowered at all.Best of luck!

Answer: Implant selection and breast crease Hello, when trying on implants you will notice that they tend to hold the bra away from the skin and there is an air gap around them. For this reason, many surgeons suggest their patients choose slightly larger implants than the sizers they liked. Ultimately of course it is the patient's decision. If you are still concerned you could discuss this with your surgeon or seek another opinion. It is possible to lower the breast fold but this must be done carefully to ensure that the implant still has support and doesn't drop too low (called bottoming-out).

Answer: Projection options Hello,The best way to advise you about size options is with an exam and measurements. There will be a small range of implants which fit your base width and tissue. If you are seeking something less projecting than the 300 mod plus, there should also be moderate and low plus options for you with the correct diameter for your base width. It is a good idea to seek a second opinion if you don't feel that you are being offered what you want. I recommend that you seek out a board certified Plastic Surgeon who's before and after photos appeal to you and book an in-person consultation for a second opinion.
