Breast Implant with Lift

The answer is maybe, depending on what your desires are for your final result. You do have breast tissue at a C size so you would not need as much volume as someone with minimal breast tissue. That being said I have put larger implant in someone like you and have gotten good results and a very pleased patient. The larger implant placed however, adds weight and will result in more stretching and sagging over time, so thgere is a balance. I try to get a good idea about... more

Breast implant sizing

Much of the final “look” achieved after breast augmentation surgery depends on several factors: 1. The initial shape, size (volume of breast tissue), symmetry of the patient's breasts. In general, the better the preoperative breast appearance the more likely the breast augmentation “look” will be optimal. 2. The experience/skill level of the surgeon is important in determining the final outcome. For example, the accurate and gentle dissection of... more

Picking the right size implant

Bra sizes are confusing. More often than not, a woman is not wearing a correctly fitted bra, doesn't know her bra size, or doesn't know how a bra is fitted. Cup size is dependent on the "number" part of the bra size... a D cup in a 34 bra is a different size from a 42 bra. That being said, bra manufacturers are not held to any uniform standards when it comes to cup size and shape... that is why one brand of bra might fit you very well for a given size, but not... more

Picking Implant Size

It is difficult to just say yes to that question. Remember that the breast width really helps define what implant range makes sense. Also the stretch of the breast will effect the volume it will except. So, 225 in a narrow breast that does not have stretch marks and is tight may be ok. While a wider breast with breast ptosis 225 may not be right. So, talk with your BC Plastic Surgeon with the physical exam and go over your dimensions and correlating implants for that exam. more

Choosing the ideal size breast implant

This size may be a little small, but its very hard to determine the ideal size without a detailed discussion to determine your goals and a thorough exam to evaluate preoperative breast size, tissue characteristics (like skin lossness) and body characteristics. Your surgeon will likely be happy to meet with you again to clarify if there's any question. Good luck.

Breast implant size and breast augmentation

Focusing on the size of the implant with the volume does not lead to a proper decision on the type of implant you need. This decision should be based on the measurements of your breast dimensions to include you breast width, height, the amount of breast tissue you have, your goals etc. Advising you the size of implant would be very difficult with out a proper exam and a discussion of your goals and desires. I would encourage you to focus more picking the right implant of... more

May need more if you have simultaneous lift

The breast size reflects both the size of the implants and the amount of breast tissue you have already. You mentioned that you are a C cup. If you want an increase of one cup size, then 225 cc is about right. But that's not the most important question. The most important concern is the type of lift and if you need one. Assuming you do, the lift should be vertical with removal of tissue from the lower pole, which makes your breast a little smaller, so you... more

Breast lift and augmentation/considering tummy tuck

The fact that you are considering contouring of the abdomen and already have a C cup breast you do not need to choose a very large implant. A 300cc with a moderate profile should provide you a balanced figure. Your plastic surgeon can assist you to choose the proper implant. Submitting a photo of your breast and abdomen would be helpful to suggest the range of implant that would fit your figure.

What is good size for breast implants?

You are 5'2'' and are already a 36C. It may be that 225cc is a good size for you. Although it is not a large implant, and in fact well below the average size we generally use (around 300-350cc), in your case you may have a fair amount of breast tissue already and are just looking for a small increase in volume and primarily more fullness in the upper breast than a simple breast lift alone would provide. Also, since skin is tightened and removed at the time of a... more
