Breast Augmentation Case 36

See Case 52 for comparison. Although she has elliptical shaped breasts also, they are positioned lower on the chest. Using round implants centered behind her nipples would move the bottom portion of her breasts below her ribs onto the abdominal wall. She would feel heavy, maternal, and clothing would not fit well. She would lose her waist (hourglass figure) if breast volume were too low. Besides looking bad, carrying larger breasts lower would be burdensome and uncomfortable. Therefore Biodimensional® (elliptical shaped) implants were chosen, Allergan Style 363, 510 ml. These keep the breast volume high on the chest, and are high profile implants with good projection. Aesthetic judgment, experience, and open communication are important in implant selection. She had abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) at the same time, the "Mommy Makeover" procedure. Photo six months after.
