Breast Implant Sizing

Hello Isababe 1016, It would be impossible to recommend an implant size for you with out a thorough examination of your anatomy, so I can not comment about one implant versus another. However, keep in mind that choosing an implant that is inappropriately large for your anatomy is the most common mistake that plastic surgeons make (at the behest of their patients, who's only concern is the cup size after surgery); one that is costly for the patient and will most likely lead... more

Breast implant sizing

The more breast surgery I do the more I realize that there is no correlation between the size or model (profile) of implant used 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... more

Selecting breast implant size

Breast augmentation may be performed with implants with wide range in volume as well as different projections. These factors will dermine the diameter of the implants as well as your post operative appearance. You should find a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in breast augmentation for an in person consultation and thorough discussion of the procedure, your wishes and expectations.

Very hard to advise based solely upon your written info, no photo posted. I would use a HP implant at the 350 to 400 cc range. Best of luck.

If you want better result , go with smaller

The goal of breast augmentation should not be just the size. In general smaller implants look more natural and have less complications. The size difference between 397and 371 is minimal( less than ounce). You can try 3D imaging for comparison.

Breast implant sizes

The question isn't just the volume of the implant but rather the dimensions that are appropriate for your chest size. You would not want an implant that is too wide for your breast because this could show on the sides. I recommend you get sized by a board certified plastic surgeon to choose with you an implant that is appropriate for your body size and helps you attain your goals. Best of luck!
