breast augmentation before and after over 50
welcome back. this is the second video on how to choose a breast implant. in the first video i discussed implant dimensions that will be the most appropriatedfor you. if you have not seen the first video, i recommend watching it to understand what i will be talking about. in this video i will discuss how to choose a breast implant volume. breast implant volume goes with the implant diameter. like we discussed before your breast base determines the implant diameter. that will be most appropriate for you
let take a look at the table that mentor corporation provides with the implant diameters, volume and projection. we are going to use mentorimplants as an example. you can get these tables on my website www.drhourglass.com. which is link under this video and also in the description on this video below. there are two things that are important when choosing an implant volume. number one, the breast base, which we discuss in the first video, and number two how much the skin tone will stretch to accommodate the new implant volume. let use the following example. let’s saythat i measure your breast base an its 11.4 cm.
let say that you decide for a siliconebreast implant with a high profile. i will discuss the different implant profilesin the next video. if we look at the table and we are going to zoom this, for a breast base of 11.4 cm the volume is 325 cc. now, we can determine if your breast can accommodate more than this volumen. the skin elasticity in other words, how much the skin stretches determine how much more we can increase the size of the implant. if your skin stretches significantly, then we can increase the size of the implant by about 50 cc to 100cc. remember the more volume the fuller your breast will look on the top. if you want look fuller and your skin elasticity allows it then you can go all the way to 425 cc or so.
to determine your skin elasticity grab your breast around your areola and pull forward until it feels uncomfortable. measure this distance. if your skin stretches more than 3-4 cm in anterior direction you can add between 50 – 100 cc. the less your breast stretch the less volume you can add. in this case the patient havean anterior pull of about 3.5 cm. so you can add about 50 – 100 cc to the 325 cc implant based on your breast base. so your implant volumen can vary between 375 to 425 cc. now these are all measurements and guideless that does not take into consideration yourdesire
breast cup size. as a rule of thumb every 150 cc of implant volume is a cup size. so once we get an objective breast implant size base on your measurement we can discuss if this size matches your desire cup size. these are things that we need to discuss during your consultation. in this video, we have discussed the implant volume range that will closely match your breast diameter based on your anatomy, breast base, and also skin tone and elasticity.
in the next video, we will talk about the implant profile, another variable that can determine the shape of the breast.
