Breast augmentation, breast implants

It is really difficult to determine the maximum size implant you chest can accommodate without a measurement of your chest diameter. The largest imp,ant would be a high profile that fits your chest/breast diameter. Anything larger will either come together in the midline or stick out under you armpit. Good luck

Implant size question

To answer your question will require a physical exam. Implant size selection depends on several variables. 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... more

Will 350cc implants be too large for me?

Not seeing photos, it is difficult to tell. The best way to tell is to try implant sizers in a stretch bra in consultation with your surgeon, and if that added volume gives you a total breast mound volume that you are pleased with, then it is not too large for you. If it, in your opinion, makes you look "top heavy", then it is too large for you. It all depends on your goals, for these differ from patient to patient.

Sizing of Breast Implants

It’s hard to say without a photo which placement fits you the best. There are various factors regarding how you want your breasts to look and feel, but if you and your doctor have a good, open line of communication, you shouldn’t need to go back and forth on your decision. A major factor that effects how breast implants look and feel is whether they're inserted over or under the chest (pectoral) muscle. I do submammary and submuscular implants, inserting the implants under... more

Implant Size

It is difficult to answer the question because the choice of an implant is based on breast width, skin envelope elasticity and volume present, i.e. physical exam. As for a 350cc implant , is it moderate plus, high profile? A moderate profile vs a moderate plus vs a high profile have different dimensions. The 350 has a width of 12cm. If this correlates with your natural breast with then a 350 might be ok . But if your breast width is very narrow then the implant will over power the skin... more

Breast size is a personal decision

Breast size is a personal decision that only you will be able to make. Given your frame and available skin envelop it is possible that the 350cc implant will 'fit'. The key decision is how you wish to look, not friends or others. You should let your surgeon know your goals, and trust him to choose the implant to get it right. Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd

We have found that body and breast measurements are very helpful in obtaining terrific results.

Size Of Implant

You should have a sizing session with a BC plastic surgeon at which time you can "try on" different sized implants to see what volume increase suits you best. The plastic surgeon can then assist you in selecting an implant which will give you a natural look. i don't think a 350cc implant will be too large for you, but try not to fixate on cc'c.

Implant sizing

If you look on the internet, you can probably find ten different people your same height, weight, and body frame. They may all have different sized implants and they may all look good. Breast augmentation surgery is not like putting bumpers on Chevrolets. Each patient is an individual and must be evaluated as such. You should work with your doctor to determine the cup size you are trying to achieve and the implant volume that will make that happen. more

Implant Size

I always advise my patients not to get caught up in the numbers game. The implant size is based on the overall body type and shape. A well trained, reputable, board certified plastic surgeon will be able to discuss desired results and help you in choosing the appropriate implant size. Best of luck!

What is an appropriate implant size

The answer depends more on your overall body shape and the amount of breast tissue you have than just your height and weight. 350 cc may be a good size for you however it may be slightly too large, this is difficult to say without seeing a photo of you. A board certified plastic surgeon can evaluate you and help make this decision. Best wishes, Dr.Bruno

Breast implant sizing

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 factors including: the amount of breast volume the patient starts with, the shape of the patient's chest wall (concave or convex), the type and model of breast implant selected (saiine/silicone and low/moderate/high profile), bra manufacturer variance in cup sizes, the degree of filling of the... more

Bigger is not always better. Try the Rice Test!
Use knee-high hose (or cut-off pantyhose), and, using rice, fill them with the desired amount of cc's. (Ziplock baggies are not recommended, due to the "pointed" corners of the bag.) Once you have them filled, try them on under a sports bra.

The conversions below, which are approximate, will help you when doing the "rice test".

1 cup = 236cc
1/2 cup = 118cc
3/4 cup = 177cc
1/4 cup = 59cc
1/3 cup = 78cc
2/3 cup = 156cc
1/8 cup = 30cc
