The perfect implant size in breast augmentation
The truth is that there is basically no detectable diffference between 375 and 400cc. The difference is two tablespoons and probably less than the variation in size that you commonly experience with a menses. Typically, in the average A cup, a 350cc implant will take you up to a full C cup.
However, I have had patients with smaller implants go up to a D so it truly varieys by individual, clothing preference and designer.
What profile suits me best.
The profile best for you will depend on the volume needed for the DD cup and the chest width needed to accommodate the implant. Your surgeon will guide you during examination, and you can help most by telling your surgeon just what you wish to look like.
Breast implants correct only slight sagging.
1) About 2 or 3 times a year, we see a woman just like you, and we turn her away. They often come back several months later, literally crying, saying : ” Oh, doctor, you were so right, I should have listened to you, look at me, I am all deformed, can you please try to fix them.”
2) You will always find someone who will tell you what you want to hear and who will take your money. Don’t do it.
3) Women accept the breast lift scars (lollipop) very well if they love the new shape and size of their breasts.
Breast augmentation with or without a lift
I think the best first step is always a consultation, s it is certainly possible to consider an augmentation only.
When a patient is considering breast enhancement, we like to discuss all of their options, including implants, a lift if needed, as well as the timing of the procedures (i.e. performing them together or in 2 procedures).
If not, however, you can always have a lift as a second procedure in the future.
Saline implants
Saline implants are widely accepted to be safe and effective for breast augmentation. This type of implant is generally place in a sub muscular location to get adequate tissue coverage and minimize the chance of visible rippling in the upper portion of the breast.
Ruptured Implant
Replacement of a ruptured implant in not an emergency but when the replacement is done within a week or two, there is less scarring and it is technically easier to recreate the pocket to replace the implant.
Your implant probably has a lifetime warranty replacement. If you have your implant information, see a local plastic surgeon to see about replacement. You can also call your original surgeon to get this information and a referral to someone in your area.
Breast implant size
The appropriate implant size depends on your current anatomy, and what cup size you would like. In my own practice, I take these factors into consideration, and use the implant size which can naturally achieve the patient’s desired cup size.
Subglandular or submuscular implant placement
There are pluses and minuses to both subglandular and submuscular implant placement. I recommend scheduling an appointment with your plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns. Having surgery is your decision, it is totally appropriate to ask your surgeon for your options regarding the placement of implants.
Your plastic surgeon may have reasons that they think one approach is better than the other for your particular wishes and body type. Communication is the key to getting the outcome that you desire!
Asymmetry of breasts
I think it is great that you realize that the two breasts are very different, and it would be impossible to make them exactly the same. On the other hand, they can be matched up fairly well.
I think the right one needs to be lifted a bit. One or both can be augmented depending upon what you desire.
Breast implants and a medical tourism
I think you have a significant problem. It appears you’re right breast implant is already exposed and should be removed. Time should be given for you to adequately heal and then re-implanted with new implant.
This is the best I can tell from the photos and I would highly recommend either seeing your original surgeon or a local plastic surgeon. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I think that should be addressed sooner rather than later.
Silicone versus saline?
This is a valid concern. However, you also have to consider the results of surgery are better with silicone implants when compared to saline. That’s why 99% of my patients choose to go with silicone when given the choice.
Go to a consult and ask to hold a saline implant in one hand and silicone in the other. It’s a world of difference!
Uneven breasts before. Would silicone or saline look better?
Breast asymmetry is very common and can be improved. Each breast will obviously require different procedures and will therefore leave different scars on each breast. Your smaller breast will require a breast augmentation whereas your larger breast may require a breast lift or lift with smaller augmentation depending on your overall size-goal.
Consult with one or more board certified plastic surgeons to discuss your surgical options to improve your breast symmetry. It does not appear that you require a tummy tuck at this time but an in-person examination would be required for full assessment.
What is the most recommended breast implant?
All FDA approved breast implants available in the US today are excellent. Each plastic surgeon has their own choice among the available manufacturers including Mentor and Allergan. At a recent plastic Surgery Society meeting course on breast implant surgery a survey was done among plastic surgeons as to the style of implant used.
The result was that 83% of surgeons surveyed used smooth round silkicone implants.
