Would 300cc Breast Implant Result in Natural Look?

Communication with your surgeon is critical in achieving the results you wish. I find that this is best done with the use of pictures as opposed to trying to predetermine specific implant size or profile. The more breast surgery I do the more I realize that there is no correlation between the size or model (profile) of implant used and resulting cup size. This may have to do with several factors including: the amount of breast volume the patient starts with, the shape of the... more

The best way to keep the look of implants natural is to keep the implants on the smaller side as compared to the volume and chest dimensions.  Choosing the right implant for you requires an exam.

Choosing the size of the breast implant is one of the hardest decisions for patients to make. To help our patients in Naples, Florida, we have obtained the Portrait 3D breast simulation system. This allows patients to simulate and visualize the appearance of implants on their own body before surgery in any direction. You can compare before and after 3D images with different sizes, styles and placement of the implant. This simulation is not completely accurate, but it helps the... more

It is always one of the most difficult things for women and surgeons to come to a decision about the right size implants and mutiple factors come into play, but judging from whta you describe, 399 cc implants should be fine.  Whether they look natural, etc. depends on your body and your surgeon.

It is actually very very difficult to say without examining you and taking more measurements. The measurements we are looking for are more complex than rib cage width, and take into account breast base width, thickness of tissues in the medial and lateral edges of the breast, thickness of tissues on the upper pole of the breast. In addition, we factor in the height of the nipples and the quality of the skin envelope. Finally, we try to understand what sort of "look" a patient... more

From your description it is difficult to tell which style, moderate plus vs high profile, would be best for your shape and contour. In general a 300 cc implant will increase your cup size 1.5X. In my opinion, implants placed above the muscle in a thin women tend to look fake. In general it is personal preference.

My best guess is that you will be very pleased with a 300cc silicone implant. Of course this would be easier to answer with an examination and "fitting session". I always strive to obtain a naturally appearing breast. You might want to ask your surgeon to view some of his or her pre- and post-op photographs. Good Luck!

Hi! If, as you say, you don't mind looking "a little fake", then this sounds like a good plan, and 300 cc's is about right. In Manhattan, we use disposable implant sizers during surgery to make absolutely sure that 300 cc's looks good. Only then, we open the permanent implants from our inventory. This way there is no guess work.

Hello, Without seeing you it is hard to judge size, but in general, high profile implants tend to look more fake than the moderate profile variety.
