I'm scheduled to get a breast augmentation this Wednesday and am still wondering if I chose the correct size. I'm 5'7", 123 lbs. I'm a small A with 30" chest diameter. Usually wear 34A. I'd like to be a small C and chose 325cc moderate pluse unders. I'm wondering if 300cc or even 275cc would be a better choice, or would that be too small for my height and chest width? Just looking for input. Thank you!
From your photo, height and general chest wall shape, I would agree that 325 moderate plus profile seems a good choice. The breast base diameter is key and if in approximation to the implant all would be ideal! Hope this helps.
I am 5'7" and 165 pounds (I have a large frame and have always been heavier than I look - currently I fit in size 10 pants). My breast size is 36A.
I recently had my first consult for Breast augmentation and given my measurements and desire to be a full C/small D, the doctor recommended moderate profile, silicone 650cc, placed sub-muscularly, because he thinks much smaller and I'll have a large space between. 650 seems huge to me. Is it too big?
Without an exam it isdifficult to say whether or not a 650ml implant would be appropriate. The breast base diameter is an important consideration when compared to the implant diameter. The two should be close to offer the most natural result. Further projection can be achieved with a plus profile implant or even high profile. Placment of implants in a bra offers some guidance in terms of volume, although when placed in the body, some volume loss is appreciated from the demonstration and this should be considered.
Either way, a 650ml implant is on the large side and desires and outcomes should be carefully considered. Hope this helps!
I'm getting Breast Augmentation in 2 months. I had originally decided on a 320cc silicone implant, but now feel safer going with saline.I contacted my plastic surgeon and it was clear she was trying to dissuade me from going this route. She believes I will be much happier with the look of silicone and stated that she rarely does a saline implant anymore, as almost all of her patients request silicone. Please help me make heads or tails with this decision I need to make. Can a saline implant give a comparable natural look?
Good results can be had with both. To a large extent the decision of one versus the other depends on the patient's natural breast/chest anatomy. The thin patient with minimal tissue would often do better with the silicone implant in terms of ripples, and a natural feel. Otherwise, saline is acceptable.
Safety is not really a consideration as I feel both are "safe". Deflation is a possibility, and the saline implants go flat. The silicone implant, more involved and hence the need for MRI analysis. Not really a safety issue, but a consideration. All things being equal, go with what you are comfortable with.
