Here is an example of a larger implant on a smaller frame. She is 5'2, 108 pounds and was looking for a D-DD cup. While I am generally not a fan of high profile implants, because she was small and wanted large implants, I felt implants other than high profile would be too wide. We placed Allergan 550cc high profile silicone gel implants through an under breast incision.

This is a 54-year-old female who had been thinking about breast augmentation for quite some time. She was a full B cup and was really hoping to be more into the C range. She's 5'3" and after doing our "Rice Test" she thought close to 350 mL would work best for her. We ended up using 345 cc Allergan style SRM silicone gel implants inserted through the under arm. She is a great example of a slightly lower set breast that can get a very natural shape and upper pole fullness with just a moderate sized implant!!
At 56 years old, a lean frame and with lower pole fullness, this is a good example of what can be done through the underarm, with the breast endoscope and a Keller funnel. The scope allows you to exit the muscle sooner when making a pocket, which allows more filling of the lower pole. Using the Keller funnel, I placed 457 moderate profile Allergen gel implants. She went from a B to a D.
This 25 year old was looking to be a full C-small D cup. At pre-op her photos show a real challenge with very lateral positioned nipples. I think she is a great example though of picking an implant-the width you need-rather than just matching the patient's natural breast width. Her breasts were 12cm wide but to help avoid a big space "the east/west breast", I picked an Allergan 405cc SRM implant, 13.25 cm wide, giving her cleavage and a great result.
This is a 31 year old woman with what can be a little challenging in that she is pretty lean and has lower pole breast tissue. By placing 371cc moderate profile Allergen gel implants just a bit lower on the chest, you can get a very natural tear drop shape, even through the underarm.
This 5'7 30 year old presented for breast augmentation, wanting a full B/small C cup, but with very thin skin and breast tissue. We decided on the Allergan Style 410 anatomic gummy implant, 320cc. With her lean build, this is a great example of when I think the tear drop Allergan implant really makes a noticeable difference.
This young woman is 5' 10. She presented with a 34A cup and was hoping for a full C-small D. She did our rice test and kept inching up to a larger size, finally settling on close to 500cc. We placed a 492 cc Allergan Style 15 silicone gel implant through the underarm using a Keller funnel. She really shows a dramatic change and with her height, she felt it gave her much more balance and proportion.
This is a 34 year old female who found us on RealSelf. She is a good example of how implants can even out a size difference and help fill out loose tissue. She wanted to go from a full B cupt to a small D cup. I placed 445cc on the right and 485 on the left using the new Allergan Inspira gel implants. She now has much better shape and symmetry.
This patient is a great example of why we do the rice test. She already started with a bit of natural breast tissue and in explaining the cup size she thought she wanted, I suggested she try a 350cc rice test. She did and after trying on multiple different clothing options, she kept creeping up and creeping up in the rice test until she realized she actually liked a bit over 500cc! So, we went with an Allergan 520cc silicone implants style SRM through the under arm using the endoscope and a Keller funnel… Her result is now larger than she initially would have thought but she is very happy!!
