How to have beautiful and natural looking breast implants?

Interesting?!?   I never had of heard expandalble ones?  That might be worth looking into.  How do they work?

The scarring issue is an important factor I would think.

Not sure what the pic policy here is but I'd like to see the results because I'm tempted to the larger sizes too (though maybe not to that level...not sure yet)

There is a small fill port they have access to to insert more and more saline. They are not meant to be permanent.

Expandable/temporary implants are used for two reasons.

The first is they can be used to get a better idea of the implant sizes needed, they can then order the exact fill size needed. Helpful when one breast is radically different than the other.

The other use is that you cannot put huge implants on a small chest without looking like a boulder attached. You put these in, and allow the body to adapt, then add more, then repeat. When you reach the size you want, they order implants based on how much they inserted into the implants.

A good answer to Janet's question.  Better than I could do myself

I would show a picture of mine, my scars are nearly gone. I don't think you can post nudity here though.

I have

Saline - Sub Muscular, Areola Incision
SPI:375CC/390CC
Final Result: 34D
Scars: What scars?

As you had said yours were saline and were good I wondered if they were sub muscular.  All is revealed (or not in this case).  You certainly look full bosomed in your picture. Glad to hear they are a success.

I had gel "Gummy Bear" implants,  I was about a B before.  Now a big C or small 38D.  The implants were 400ml, the doctor recommended going with that size and it turned out very nice.  You can not feel the gel implant.  I do have a little scaring at the underside where the implants went in  Gel implants require a larger opening.  For my frame which is not small, dispite positive thinking, the implants are just about right that is proportional for my size.

I had breast augmentation myself when I was 18. However, I am not happy with the results anymore due to the 'bottoming out' effect which means my implants have moved to the sides and they look flattened because they are restricted under the pectoralis muscle and they are simply not big enough plus I don't like the gap I have. So I had a consultation yesterday with a good plastic surgeon who has a lot of experience with ts women. I have seen his work in other people I met through life. He told me that to get the natural looking breasts in a slim person, average size (380-400 cc) moderate profile smooth silicone implants on top of the muscle would be needed, tissues do not grow onto the smooth implants so they can have that natural movement of a breast and be soft but you have to massage them for the rest of your life to avoid capsular contracture which is like a %30 risk, however the moderate profile gives a wider cup size so it helps with having breasts that sit closer and the size I mentioned should get a ts woman to a C-D cup. I hope this helps. Whatever you do, stay away from a surgeon who will do under the muscle placement, it's a complex surgery if you need a revision in the future plus it damages the muscle and you'll get more scars trying to remove previous implants and it's painful. Most people can go on top of the muscle if they choose the right size for them, the only downside with that is risk of capsular contracture and sagging, but they can be avoided by regular massaging and wearing a good supportive bra.
