Breast augmentation is conceptually simple but there are nuances that must be considered in order to get the best results.  Chest wall “foundation” issues are not common but sometimes are quite subtle and easy to miss.  There are other skeletal issues like scoliosis that can also be impactful by making the breast position look uneven if not taken into account. 

For the surgeons: The description of implant characteristics was a bit murky in the video. To clarify, having the same implant diameter was important but at the same time more projection on the low side was needed. A Mentor Moderate 225 implant was selected for the “high” side and a 300 cc Moderate-Plus implant for the “low” side was chosen.  Both have the same diameter. Saline was used so that the volumes could be fine tuned for closest symmetry (240 cc right, 350 cc left). Finally, a periareolar incision was chosen because precise siting of an inframammary incision beforehand would have been problematic.
