Breast implant size

It is very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C cup” or "fake looking" means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired... more

I find questions like these to be interesting , because without seeing you none of us can really give you an accurate answer. If you have found a qualified plastic surgeon and he feels this size is adequate I think you should trust the decision and go with it.

Implant choices

It is hard to say whether or not the volume you selected would be best to reach the desired size. You can do a baggy test of try sizers on to see how the volume fits in a bra for you.

Breast implant size should fit a person's frame

The most important thing I tell my patients when discussing breast augmentaion is not to worry about the number of cc's they want but the look they are trying to achieve.

Breast implant size and bra cup size

IT would be impossible to guiide you into the proper decision without an examination and discussing the more specific and relevant measures of breast base diameter and ptosis or atrophy. Under versus Over also plays a role in determining the final outcome. see video

Breast Implants of 330 cc not necessarily too big on petite frame

Hopefully, you're just looking for a little reassurance and your surgeon has spent time with you to be sure you're on the same wavelength when it comes to size. A 330 cc implant isn't crazy big or crazy small but, it has to work for you. If you have any doubt, I hope you'll talk with your surgeon soon...before your surgery.

330cc Breast implants

Are "330cc Breast Implants too big" is a question you should have answered by the surgeon who is operating on you on 1/22. After all, WHY would you go ahead with these implants if you have any doubts? Matching breast implants to each patient is an art based on experience and cannot be conveyed without an examination. Most importantly, you must have enough breast tissue to cover the implant and the implant must be of a diameter that allows it to stay on the flat part of the chest... more

Breast implant size

See my previous comments regarding breast implant size. This is a question that should be directed at your surgeon who is performing the procedure and should be adequately and completely discussed without prior to your surgery date. There are many factors that will determine appropriate size and dimension of implant that can only be judged with a face-to-face examination.

Breast Implants for Petite Frame

If you want to increase your cup size from an A to a C, I doubt that a 330cc implant is too large for you. In order to determine the size of implant with which you are comfortable you should have a fitting session. At this visit you "try on" different sized to find the size with which you are comfortable.
