Breast 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 (saline/silicone and low/moderate/high profile), bra manufacturer variance in cup sizes, the degree of... more

Achieving goals with breast implant augmentation surgery

You have numerous issues and anatomic factors that make your goals difficult ot achieve. Your breasts are asymmetric with uneven folds and volume discrepancy. Furthermore your breasts are fairly wide set making cleavage a challenging goal.

Implant choices

Without an exam and doing some measurements it is very difficult to "eyeball" and implant volume and shape for you.

How to Pick Implant Size for Your Breast

In my experience, the best method of assuring a natural result, is to measure the patient's chest height and width, and based on those measurements, pick a range of implants which can comfortable fit inside the chest dimensions.  If the patient has a wide chest but a relatively short chest height, the breast fold can be lowered slightly (1/2 inch at the most), to accommodate the implant.  Once you have found the range of volumes, then try them with a bra and various... more

400cc or 500cc, High or Moderate Plus Implants for a natural look C cup

Here are some things to ponder.   When you went in for a consultation, were you able to try on implant sizers?  This is so helpful because you do get a fairly accurate visualization of yourself.  In my experience and considering  the size of your body based on your height and weight you will get a more natural look with 400cc implants.  Although, I use 500cc implants a great deal of the time, you are asking for a C cup.  You will be a D cup with 500cc... more

Breast augmentation for cleavage in a C-cup

The correct breast augmentation could be the 400cc or the 500cc moderate profile silicone implant, and based on your photo it appears that one breast is larger than the other and therefor the implants used may not both be the same size. You can easily achieve the C-cup you wish with good projection and cleavage, even with a submuscular augmentation. If it has come down to you picking an implant, perhaps you should pick another surgeon. Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd... more

500 or 400 Cc Silicone Moderate Plus Breast Implants.

Thanks for the one frontal view photo. I think you need additional in person evaluations from more boarded surgeons in your area. My recommendation is 450 to 500 cc M plus implants. As for placement I would need to examine you to determine sub muscle or above the muscle. My guess is above. I think?
