This patient was looking for a result in the full, full C cup or small D. She had a very good shape to begin with and going through the under arm and using the endoscope we placed an Allergan style SRM silicone gel implant 445 mL on the left and 405 mL on the right using the Keller funnel. She shows a very balanced result with nice upper pole slope…

Even with so many silicone products on the market we still do saline when requested by the patient and this 56-year-old female shows a great result with 330cc Allergan style 68MP saline implants filled to 340cc on the left and 360cc on the right, placed through the under arm. She has a very natural look and feel with the exact size she wanted…
Every once in a while, you can change the natural shape of her breast with an implant. This 28-year-old already started with a good shape however with a little bit of asymmetry. Her right breast was shaped more like a “U” underneath and her left one more like a “V”. We placed 300cc Allergan style SRLP silicone gel implants through the underarm using the endoscope and by doing a full inferior pole muscle release, the implant was able to give a bit more round appearance to the bottom on that left side, now seen six months postop.
This 28-year-old patient started with a very good shape and was looking to be in a small D range. Because of her lean figure she decided to use the Allergan “Gummy Bear “cohesive gel implants. After doing the rice test, she settled on 375cc style SCM smooth gel implants placed through the under arm using the endoscope and a Keller funnel.
This patient had a very short inferior pole at the bottom of her breast. She also had a fairly wide space and prominent breast tissue. In these cases when going through the under arm, I exit the muscle a little sooner to allow the implant to fill out the bottom of the breast. We did 400cc Allergan style SSLP silicone gel implants using the Keller funnel
Patients here me speak often about obtaining a “balanced breast” and this is a great example. Her preop photo shows a lower orientation to her nipple and areola which is not where we want them to be. By positioning the implant in the right location and filling out the lower part of the breast, the nipple becomes more balanced in its position on the breast. Because of her thin skin and being 64 years old, we used an Allergan “gummy bear” style SCM 375cc implant through the under arm and this is her result eight months later.
We talk frequently of the challenges in patients with a wider space between their breasts and with a leaner build. If breasts have a natural outward tilt to them, the implant must be positioned to be centered underneath the nipple but with either a wider implant or larger implant this space can be somewhat reduced. We placed in this patient Allergan 450cc style SCF high profile gummy bear implants through the under arm and even with her natural “challenges” she has a very balanced, aesthetic result!
This 39-year-old is another example of balancing the breast by using the implant to obtain adequate fullness below the nipple and not just above. This was done by going through the under arm, and using the endoscope to do a full release of the lower border of the muscle. We then used Allergan Gummy Bear style SCF silicone implants 385cc bilaterally. Even with a good size implant, it’s a very natural result!
This young woman was looking for something in the tasteful D range and overall had a great shape with just a slight asymmetry at the bottom of her breast. Using the rice test, we settled on 405cc and she desired gummy implants, so we went with Allergan style SCM 405cc cohesive implants Placed through the under arm using the endoscope and a Keller funnel for the “no-touch technique. She has great upper pole fullness and size with still slight asymmetry at the lower pole and she is thrilled!!
This is an example of gummy bear implants in a lean woman. This 29-year-old was looking for a full, full C cup but was nervous about her lean body type. Following the rice test, we decided on 415 cc Allergan gummy bear Inspira implants. We went through the underarm, with a great size that filled out the little bit of loose tissue that she had preop!
