It sounds reasonable but it really depends on what you’re wanting your look to be.  I use high profile implants in patients that are your dimensions because they are the only way to get that size in when you’re so thin.  Because you were pregnant, I’m hoping that your tissues stretched some and will accomodate these implants reasonably without having stretched beyond retraction (the taffy effect).

At first, these implants will look and feel tight.  That’s because you put a big implant under a small breast.  it’s clear to me that you are small, and that you know that you are small.  It also seems clear that you know that these implants are nothing to scoff at.

Remember, what makes these look fake is when your breast tissue is tiny and the implants are huge.  If you make a major exagerated change, then it will be a major exagerated augmentation (that’s not the case with you I’m just making clarification for other readers wanting to make major exagerated changes).  We could blog about this all day but only the plastic surgeon that examines  you will be able to communicate clearly because you have to get the measurements properly and feel the tissue elasticity and general breast tissue strength.

Also, who is to say what ‘fake’ means.  The only way I communicate that to a patient is my looking at a bunch of pre and postop photos with the patient and give my opinion on if I think it looks fake or natural.  That way you can see what I think looks natural or not.

I recently had someone tell me “I want them to look fake but natural”.

She may as well have said that because until you look at photos, it doesn’t matter what you or your plastic surgeon actually mean .. each of you could be imagining a totally different look.  Rememer, a picture is worth around 7000 words (for silicone BA).

These two procedures are often combined, so we know it’s safe.  The more important question I think is how to approach your PS about a lumpy result in your lower leg area liposuction. It’s simple– just bring it up openly. We all know that those areas are fraught with complications. Most board certified plastic surgeons don’t even do those areas at all because of what you’re currently concerned with.

Because the solution could be in the use of fat grafting, while you’re doing your thigh suction maybe there is a role for correcting the deformity of the calves/ankles.  Correcting these deformities is not a sure fire thing unfortunately, so be sure you’re completely aware of what the possibilities are this time around.

At this point, it’s surprising that you’re surprised, and unusual that you’re not sure how to bring it up. You should be really confident with him about discussing everything. Don’t worry about offending anyone, you won’t. He’ll take pride in his work and surely want to improve it if possible.

The price for this surgery varies according to some selections you make.  Choosing gel implants will increase the cost by about a thousand dollars. If you use a board certified plastic surgeon, silicone implants, MD anesthesiology and a AAAASF certified surgery center (which I think all patients should) then the cost almost can’t go below about 6 thousand. I’ve tried to make it work out at several different costs for family members and it just can’t go below that.

As time has gone by, I raised my charges to up to $5000 and then in the current economic recession we’ve corrected the cost individually with patients according to their selections and method of payment. These numbers are a good ballpark average that you are shopping in.  If you let any of the above mentioned items slip, which I don’t recommend, then you may be able to get the price down, but safety and quality could be lessened.

Find a board certified plastic surgeon that makes you feel like the cost he is giving you is fair.  Even though the cost is critical, it can’t be the focus of your selection or you’ll potentially end up in the wrong hands.

The only thing you can do to avoid bottoming out is probably for your breast aug to be done by the most qualified individual in your market … an ABPS Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.

Outside of that, there’s no bra that will stop the drop if the job was poorly done. If the implant is really, really big and you’re really, really tiny, the chances of bottoming out are greater. It’s not clear to me if you’ve had surgery yet or not. If you’ve not, then the only indicator that I’ve seen in patients pre op  is if they have stretchmarks and signs of very lax tissues within their breasts, the chance of bottoming out is higher so the surgery needs to be tailored for your body to avoid this problem by limiting the release of tissues inferiorly.

If you’ve already had the procedure and they’re starting to bottom out, then you may be dealing with the inevitable, but there’s no harm in using a good supportive bra all the time to stretch it out as long as you can. For this there are new products available but that’s a whole other topic.
