I wanted to get mod+ but my P'S suggested HP because he says I have a small chest wall. However I want to look natural, I measure 33"chest, 27" waist and 38" hips. I want to look as natural as possible and be a small D (currently 34A), I picked 400cc but might go smaller. My breast are naturally low and separate from each other. Would mod+ come out to the side of my chest and overwhelm it and look bigger than my hips? Would HP give me that fullness on top that I don't want? Thank you
Answer: Simultaneous lift for natural look At size 34 A each 100 cc’s of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. To go from an A to a D would require 300 cc implants. In your photograph your breasts are too low and you would benefit from a simultaneous lift using a new technique called Breast Augmentation with Mini Ultimate Breast LiftTM. A circumareola incision is used to reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Through the same incision, implants can be placed. Aligning the areola, breast tissue and implant over the bony prominence of the chest wall maximizes anterior projection with a minimal size implant. Small round textured silicone gel implants placed retro-pectoral look and feel more natural, are more stable, less likely to ripple or have complications needing revision.

Answer: Choosing a breast implant to give a natural look In order to get an idea of how the breasts will look after a breast augmentation, I have my patients place samples of different implants into their bra. This way, they get a general idea of how their breasts will appear after the augmentation. I also show them different photos of women who have had an augmentation with the various sizes and shapes. Good luck!Dr. SchreiberBaltimore Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Implant size The best thing is my opinion is to look at the doctors before and after pictures to find a body similar to yours. Then see what the implant looks like. The high profile is a less natural look. Good Luck!

Answer: From A to D cup Dear lil, Thanks for submitting your picture. In order to obtain consistently natural looking breasts with the size that you desire there are few steps that need to be taken : 1. measurements are critical. In your case, assuming that you are 34 A, in order for you to be a 34 small D you will need roughly 425cc. If you are a 34 small A, than you will need a bigger implant. 2. Meticulous dissection, so that you get nice cleavage and enough room for the implants to move. Moderate profile implants are the only ones used in my surgery center and they do not come out excessively because it is the surgeon who determined with his dissection , how much the implants come out. Also, usually the crease has to be lowered for the breast to look perky. 3. Displacement massage training to avoid hardening and unnatural look. Consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeons who are familiar with the measurements method. Check the before and after pictures to make sure that you like the results. Best of luck, Dr Widder

Answer: How to look natural with an Implant. Thanks for your question and Photograph.Everyone generally wants to look as natural as possible. Here is some general thinking that I share with my patients.Don't think about the cc number of an implant but think about how it fits your frame overall.Think hips more than breast- an implant that is too narrow will look like a torpedo, an implant that is too wide will look top heavy. Seek a width that balances and compliments the curve of your hips.Consider your overall height. A tall woman can carry a larger implant and look more believable than a shorter woman.Think about the starting amount of breast tissue you have. A woman with a B or more will have more natural tissue on top of the implant and look more natural than someone who starts with minimal breast tissue.Under the muscle looks more natural than over the muscle because the muscle draping over the top of the implant softens the transition from the chest wall to the breast.Silicone implants tend to look more natural than saline.I keep implant sizers in my office. I have my patients try on actual implants to help see how they look on their own frame. I think this exercise would be helpful for you. Ask your surgeon to try on actual implant sizers. Bring different shirts and even a friend for a second opinion.Hope this helps.
