I just scheduled my BA surgery but I’m second guessing the option the surgeon recommended. I’m 32 YO 5’3, 117lbs and have nursed 2 babies. My chest width is 11.6 in. The surgeons recommendation for me was the ultra plus high profile mentor implant size 380 or 415. I was worried about feeling like the 380 would be too small and I’m not sure about the ultra plus profile. I don’t want to look larger/wider then I am but like the idea of some cleavage. Any advice?

Answer: Breast implant sizing Hello!There are ways for you to "try on" implants to be sure you are comfortable with your final outcome. We size in our office with actual implants in a bra, to match the size that will be placed during surgery. Some have imaging to create a virtual outcome. I would recommend you meet with your surgeon again to be sure you are comfortable with the size of implant that will be placed.Best of luck!

Answer: Cleavage and size. First, implants can only give you more to 'work with', not cleavage. If an implant is used to give cleavage to a large degree, than the implant will ride up on the breast bone and may show rippling or other deformities. The worst deformity is symmastia.Second, most of us use 'high profile' implants because they give more volume in a more narrow diameter and can avoid an over-dissection to the sides. 'Utra high' profiles are rarely used because they can give over-projection. Be careful of these.Hope this helps.
