325cc High Profile Silicone Good for Me?

I know you can give me an exact answer because you would need to examine me yourself in order to do so. I'm just wanting some opinions. I go in for surgery on Aug 6 and I'm stressing over size which I guess is normal. I am 5"1" 107 lbs, my surgeon says he normally doesnt like to use high profile implants but it would be best for me because I have a narrow chest (I don't know exact measurements). I would like to achieve a full C cup. Is 325cc high profile the right fit for me?

There Is No Standardization In The implant Community As Far As Cup Sizes Are Concerned

Unfortunately. a full C at Macy's is a D at Victoria Secrets. A 32C is a 34B is a 36A. If that isn't confusing enough, there are bra manufacturers who make it even more difficult to compare apples with apples. However, I am an old fashioned type of plastic surgeon, and I think a 325 high profile which is usually a big C/small D on a woman of your height and weight would be absolutely perfect. Unfortunately, all the usual admonitions apply. Without an in... more

Choosing the right implant size

As you stated, I need to examine you in person to give you the recommendation. I recommend implant size based on 1) your anatomy (chest width, chest height, breast thickness), 2) your desired size and goal. Usually, after measuring my patients, I try on implant sizes pre-operatively with them. Just based on your height/weight/desired goal of full C, I think 325cc HP implant would be good. Good luck to you.

325cc High Profile Silicone Good for Me?

You are correct, It is impossible to know without pictures and data. From what you describe it seems that you have a narrow breast diameter. Implants are chosen first based on the width of your breast. If you use an implant that is too wide then the implant will spill over into the armpit area. Once you select a size then you have to pick the profile that matches the size and width of the breast. Implants come in low profile (Wide Width), middle profile ( Slightly more narrow than low... more

High profile implant for a narrow chest

I would agree with your surgeon that high profile implants do give a good result on a more narrow chest. However, I always have patients try on implants at their initial consult and then a second time at a pre operative visit. This assures that you are comfortable with your choice of size and do not second guess your decision. I would return to your plastic surgeon and express your concerns. I hope this helps you.

High profile breast implants can be good for narrow breast

Thank you for your question. I am always concerned when someone is scheduled for surgery and still has unresolved concerns about the surgery. When you schedule surgery, you should not have unanswered questions. Please have all your questions and concerns addressed before booking surgery. The question of high profile or not cannot be answered without examining you or seeing pictures at a minimum. Generally, for someone of your size, 107lbs, I think high profile... more

Silicone gel high profile implants are good

We too use very few high profile implants, but for some the implant is a good choice depending on chest size, breast envelope, and the 'look' you wish to have. We are not so positive about the saline high profile as the texture is firm for our sense of the aesthetics, but opinion is diverse on that issue as well.

High profile in narrow chest patients

235 cc HP are ok if they are silicone gel implants. Saline high profiles have been associated with excessive pressure on the subcutaneous tissue and thinning of the breast tissue. Go for it! Good Luck with your surgery. Dr Del Vecchio see video

Choosing your Breast Implant Size

Thank you for your question. You are correct in that no online consultant can give you as good an estimation of appropriate breast implant size/profile as can a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon who examines you in person and has an opportunity to discuss your goals in detail. In regards to breast size, the more breast surgery I do the more I realize that there is no correlation between the size of implant and resulting cup size. This may have to do with several... more
