Breast Implants: Q&A

I'm 5'3, 115lbs. Would Like A to D Cup. What Size Should I Get?
115 lbs at most. I'm getting a breast augmentation in two weeks and was wanting a D, right now I'm a 32 A. I was told by my surgeon I have a bit of sagging and to do the procedure without a lift I should go with 400cc's. I don't have any volume up top due to the sagging from pregnancy. I know I need to go with a bigger size implant to get what I want but I'm stuck between 450 cc's 475 cc's or 500 cc's. do you think with my size and the way my breast are that one of these sizes would give me a D?

No cup size predictions in breast aug
You need to communicate the desired "look" not dictate a cup size if you want a happy result. An experienced surgeon can translate the look you want into the right implant for you.

Optimal fill is key
Thanks for your question. Given your height and weight, I think 400CC and above would be very large. It is critical that your surgeon measure your chest so that you know your base width of the breast. The implant must fit on this or it will spill out into your arm pit and create a very unpleasing and unnatural result. Usually 350CC in a Mod Plus profile is plenty of volume. As implant sizes increase so does their weight, and so does the risk of asymmetry and implant malposition. There is an...

Choosing implants
Hello. The most important factors for determining the size of implants that could be used on a patient include width of the base of the breast, the size of your thorax and the amount of breast tissue and skin you have. Once a surgeon has this information he could better educate you on what type of implants would work best for you. It is important to communicate with your surgeon what you’re hoping to look like. In office sizers can be helpful.

What Size Breast Implants Should I Get?
In my practice, I have my patients try on sizers prior to surgery to establish what size implant is best for the particular patient. This is a more effective way of proceeding in my opinion, as cup sizes vary dramatically between different bra manufacturers. Best wishes!

5'3" 115 lbs and A to D cup
In smaller women, 175 cc may increase you one cup size. Thus, extrapolating 3 cup sizes would be 525 cc. However, these are estimates, and sizers in the office will allow you to get a better appreciation of what volume is needed. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

I'm 5'3, 115lbs. Would Like A to D Cup. What Size Should I Get?
Yikes. In general, it's about 150-200 cc per bra cup size but it's less than that if you're shorter and/or narrow chested, more if you're taller and/or broader chested AND it's less than that for a AA to an A but more for a C to a D. So there's no simple mathematical formula you can use. You also have to take into account what your skin is like; the larger the implant the heavier it is and so it may sag more than you'd like. When you put all of this together you can...

Breast augmentation and sizing
Without an exam, it is difficult to say what would be appropriate for you. The determination is based upon your goals and a physical exam.
