Natrelle textured saline breast implants
Saline implants can be smooth or textured and why one is used over the other is a surgeons preference. Textured implants adhered better to the surrounding tissues than smooth implants. Some Plastic Surgeons believe that Textured implants may decrease the rate of capsular contracture (no clear evidence in the literature).
Whether you had Textured or smooth saline implants is not as important as the shape of your breast after surgery. No need to be worried about this.
300 or 250?
The best way to determine the best size for you is to have a customized fitting session. the limit to the size of implant you could have is determined by your nipple to inframammary crease distance on stretch.
This will determined the largest radius and thus diameter of the implant you could chose. Please make a consultation to show you how we select the best size for you.
Cup size
I find cup sizing very interesting and I explain to patients that cup size is based on the difference in the most projecting part of your breast and your chest wall. This is unpredicatble as womens skin are not predictable in terms of the way they react to implants.
For instance I have put the same implants with woman who basically look ideal (height and weight) and have similar bra sizes to start and one went up two cups and one didnt change at all.
Scar size
There are several approaches to do the breast augmentation. Most use an incision at the breast fold. Depending on the type of implant the size of the incision (scar) may vary. Saline usually require less size since the implant is empty when is placed in the pocket (Breast tissue/muscle).
Silicone usually requires a 5 cm (2 in) incision to avoid damaging the implant.
Breast implant & areola reduction without lift?
I think that you would be much happier with a lift in conjunction with the augmentation and areolar reduction. No one wants an extra scar. However, the goal of the surgery is to give a youthful appearance of the breasts.
The nipple needs to be centered, or at least close to centered, over the implant.
Getting out of the sports bra
Generally speaking, patients should wear the sports bra 4-6 weeks after surgery. You’re correct that you still may have swelling at that time, but it is often fine to switch to a regular bra.
I encourage you to first check with your surgeon as he/she will be able to give advice on what is best for your particular situation.
Breast Implant after Breast Feeding
Your nipple position is good and your breasts appear to be symmetric. You should do well with an implant alone. Given your height, weight and breast volume, an implant size of 300 should be fine. A gel implant may blend better with your breast tissue.
You may want to consult a 3rd plastic surgeon
Age Limit for Breast Implants?
There is no age limit for breast implants. The issue with aging is whether or not you will need a lift or just implants. Implants will add volume but they will not “lift” your breasts substantially.
The best advice is to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a full evaluation and to discuss your options to achieve the best results.
Implants only
you do not need a lift, but you want to be really large and it doesn’t appear as if you can accommodate such large implants. You need an in person consultation to know what is reasonable.
Saggy deflated breasts fixed without lift. Concerned I will not have a good result.
In a nut shell, if your nipple areolas are sitting low on the breast, they will appear even lower after an implant. I would suggest you talk to your doctor about the benefits of a lift.
Something to think about.
What to do with ruptured 38 year old implants
Given their age of over 38 years, there is no doubt that these silicone implants need to be removed – along with the surrounding capsule and any free silicone (as much as possible). Depending on your specific situation, either new implants can be placed at that time or at a later date.There are risks associated with breast augmentation
Typically, risk are very minimal with this procedure but as with any surgical procedure there can be some risk. The more experienced the surgeon with the procedure the less the chance of complications. We have a standard consent form that will review almost any complication that can happen.
Most natural feeling and looking breast implant
Both saline and silicone can look and feel natural. However because saline is essentially a “bag of salt water” and can form visible folds most surgeons opine that silicone gel breast implants look and feel more natural.
Which would make my breasts look/feel more natural – silicone or saline (or any other?)? Is it possible with my breasts?
Silicone implants placed partially under the muscle will likely achieve a result more like what you envision. The actual shape and appearance of the breasts will be dependent upon your choice of surgeon.
Implant size
Choosing the right size, type and placement of implant depends on any number of factors all of which require an in person exam. I would advise you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area (link below) to discuss the best options for you.
