A woman in her early 30’s who wants fuller but still natural appearing breasts. She is 5’6” and 120 lbs . She describes herself as a 34 small A and wants to fit into bras and clothing but still have a relatively natural appearance. She did not mind the idea of a slight implant look out of clothing if needed to obtain her goals in clothing,
She was carefully sized in the office based on her tissue dimensions and characteristics and we were able to use a 350 cc high profile round smooth cohesive silicone gel implant placed in a partial sub-pectoral position through an infra=mammary incision.
She is shown before and again, 4 ½ months after surgery. Tattoos are blurred for her privacy.
Discussion: She is thrilled to have a natural but fuller appearance. Casual acquaintances’ and coworkers know that she looks better but are not sure why. She loves the fact that her clothes and tops fit her now. Her pre-op breast width is 11.9 cm and the nipple to IMF distance is 6.5 cm, but 8 cm on stretch. The chosen implant is 11.7 cm at the base and 4.8 cm in projection. Because the implant width is not wider than her breast base she does not have an “implant look”. When the nipple to infra-mammary fold distance is 8 cm on stretch then it is best to use an implant that is 12 cm in diameter or less to avoid excessive superior pole convexity. Again, the implant chosen fits her dimensions well.
