472cc Vs 533 Is This to Big for my Frame? (photo)

In three months I am doing a mommy makeover- Tummy tuck and breast lift with silicone imaplants. I am 5'5 155 pounds. Athletic build and want my breasts too look natural to my frame. I wanted a small D to a full D but I was not sure. I told my PS I didn't want to look too big. He suggested 472 or 533cc Silicone implants. Friends say 400 ccs on my frame is too big. I want to still look professional in the office without all the stares at my chest.

Cc's mean nothing!

Focusing on cc's is not tebest approach t selecting implants.

You may want to avoid anecdotal advice from friends and family. This communication will be critical in determining which breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals.  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... more

Hello

Without knowing what cup size you are now it’s hard to say where 472-533 cc would take you to be. From what you are describing it’s still hard without seeing your whole body proportion. When you size with implants, makes sure you wear your normal shirts with the implants and see yourself profile and up front. Your chest should protrude as much as your bottom does, to make you proportioned. It’s not really about size of implant that matters its how they look on you... more

Breast Implant Size

Breast implant size should be chosen based on definate measurements of the breast dimentions and you will fall within a range of sizes. Depending on how you want to look an implant is used out of that range of sizes of implants that fit your body. If the surgeon picks an implant size out of thin air, move on.
