Three Bears
April 27th, 2009
Can you tell Melissa has three small children? In her latest blog, her analogy comparing breast size to “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” is apropos. It is a fact that all patients want the perfect size after surgery. So do I! No one wants to go through the expense and risks of having surgery for a second time, in an effort to get the breast size they want.
Melissa’s choice should work very well for her. I believe to achieve a natural result for Melissa, we must start by first matching the diameter of the implant to the diameter of her breast. Placing the implant centered beneath the nipple will fill the breast and skin envelope symmetrically. This combination should give her a natural tear drop shaped breast which looks most natural.
Based on my examination of Melissa and the size she has chosen, I expect to use a Mentor implant which has a minimum inflation volume of 275ml. This matches her breast diameter best. The manufacturer recommends inflation between 275ml to 300ml. The plan will be to inflate this implant to the 300 ml she has chosen. I do not exceed the manufacturer’s recommended inflation volumes.
The implant will be inserted through a 20mm incision near the crease beneath each breast. This inconspicuous scar will always be hidden by her clothing. It will be inserted empty and inflated after being placed underneath the muscle and breast tissue. This effective technique results in having the final scar measuring less than an inch long.
Based on this plan we should achieve Goldilock’s, “Just right!”

Melissa’s insights posted on last Friday’s blog are terrific! She is to be applauded for her honesty and candor. Melissa is not alone, many woman struggle with issues of breast size. Fortunately, her “chicken cutlets” are always available for a non-surgical option for women. External breast enhancement can go a long way to provide modest breast enlargement. However, as Melissa points out, it is only a temporary solution. Breast enlargement surgery provides a permanent change that quickly becomes integrated into a patient’s new body image. Many patients report gaining a sense of confidence, which often contributes to feeling more comfortable with themselves after breast augmentation. This renewed self-confidence may encompass a range of situations from the bedroom to the boardroom.
