Breast Augmentation with Mini Ultimate Breast Lift to reduce implant volume

At size 34 each 100 cc of implant will correspond to 1 cup size change. If you desire a C, 200 cc implants would be required. I recommend silicone gel implants placed retro-pectoral since they look and feel more natural, particularly a size A breast. Unfortunately, you have not provided any photographs but you state that you have had one pregnancy. If you have drooping you may benefit from a simultaneous lift using a circumareola approach. The advantage of this... more

The right size for you

I consider two factors when selecting implants for my patients: 1.Dimensional planning 2.Gel Implant Sizing system Dimensional planning – The measurements of your chest wall are taken. Also, the breast dimensions including the height, width, and current dimensions of each breast form the basis of dimensional planning. Based on these measurements, the implant size is recommended. This will give you a unique breast implant that is suited for your body frame. However, there are some... more

Determining implant size

Hello. Without a consultation or at least pictures it is hard to give much information on the size implant that would be best for you.

If you are worried about appearance however it would be a good idea to bring in picture to show your... more

Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you're looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work... more

Breast Implant sizing

It is important to match the implant to the base width of your breast plus taking into account how much breast tissue and stretch you have. Your surgeon will take this into account plus your wishes to determine proper sizing.. It is important not to focus on a specific number of cc's but what volume will achieve the desired result.

350 cc too big?

I think that once you have had the exam, discussed your goals, and an implant was chosen, now it is time to check it out to be comfortable with the volume. Do a baggy test to give a rough idea.

What size is too big?

When it comes to breast implants, your body and how a sizer looks on you is the best guideline. What might look fine a one women of your size and weight might look too big or too small on another patient. Typically it is good to look in a full lenght mirror and compare the sizer (in a bra) on your body (under a stretchy shirt like a t-shirt) to the curve of your butt from the side view and then see how your bust curves are proportioned to your hips from the... more

350 cc Implant Too Big?
