Breast Implant? No Way. You Probably Need a Breast Lift Instead.

Your breasts are fairly large and are somewhat droopy. I can't know without measuring you, but you probably need a breast lift. Your nipples seem below your inframmary fold; your nipple to inframammary fold distance seems >10cm, and a large amount of your breast tissue is hanging below your fold. I just can't forsee how an implant will correct that problem for any period of time. The worst problems I see following breast augmentation - and I see these all the time - are women who had... more

Breast implant sizing

Thank you for the question and picture. It is a you may benefit from pressed lifting as well as augmentation. During the planning process it will be very important to communicate " the results I want” with your plastic 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... more

Implants and cup size

It is difficult to predict the final cup size that would get you into a D or DD cup. You cant ry the baggy test to fill out a bra and see what that takes. Also it looks like you may need a lift as well.

The right size for you

Denise-breast implant size is extremely personal and specific to your exact measurements. Only you and your surgeon can come to a conclusion on the best size to give you the desired result. Bring pictures with you to your consultation and visits and explain what you would like to look like after surgery.

Implant size does not equal cup size

Denise, it is very difficult to give you a firm answer. I would say you are very close in your estimation that 500 cc's will make you a D or DD. I would recommend that you do a "sizing" session with your surgeon and see how that size implant feels to you when you have it in your clothes. You may need to discuss a breast lift if the nipple height is below the breast fold. Best Wishes Dr. Peterson

Implant size, cup size and "the Look"

Genrally speaking patients should not focus on bra or cup size because it is not completely predictable. Instead you should focus on the "look". That is ultimately what you are trying to achieve. If you like the way you look it doesn't matter what the cup size is. If you don't like the way you look it doesn't matter if you are a D or DD cup. The best way to determine the "look" is to try on implants in a bra abnd put an a clingy top. Your plastyic surgeon should be able... more

Breast implant cup and size

No one can tell you for sure. Looking at your breasts, I am soemwhat surprised that you are a B cup. I would have estimated a larger cup. Therefore, it is my impression that a 500 cc implant should easily get you up to a D cup. However, ask your surgeon to give you a sizer.
