Breast Augmentation: Q&A
Ask a QuestionLooking For A DD Cup Size, How Many CC's FOr Asymmetric Breasts?
Hello. I am having a hard time determining size. I am currently a c in my right breast, and a full B in my left. I am wanting to be a DD. I am tall and have a fairly wide BWD of 14.5. I initially decided on 533cc silicone mod plus implants, but with my wide BWD and hight i am worried that the 533's will not bring me up to a DD. I tried them on in the office and liked the look of them but realize I could lose up to 15%. Going under the facia. Any advice?

Volume and cup size
Hello,
I think it is very important that you first have an idea of how you want your breasts to look. Cup size on one person may look bigger or smaller than the same cup size on a different person. Its important to understand that your breasts do have what is termed "ptosis", which indicates that your breast tissue is somewhat lower on the chest and below your breast fold than ideal. Ptosis is corrected by a breast lift. A large implant placed lower on...

Implant choices?
It would be helpful to know your height. Looking at your photos, if you're not having some sort of a lift then I would suggest that you place your implants over the muscle. This carries with it some other concerns but, in my opinion, is the only way to give you both the size and natural shape you're looking for. Good Luck! Scott Newman, MD FACS

Getting to DDs with 533 cc breast implants
The appearance of your picture leads me to believe that you have adequate natural breast tissue and that the addition of 533 cc implants may get you to a "DD" but in fact it will be detrimental to you. The weight of the implants will stretch and thin the breast tissues over time. Secondly, from an operative standpoint you will need a lift with the implants and the larger the implants the more difficult it may be to close the incisions. I believe you need to...

Implant sizing and asymmetry.
I agree that you have some asymmetry between the breasts. However, it is difficult without an exam to comment on implant sizes. You will likey need different sized implants (larger in the left of course), and your surgeon will probably bring several different sizes to the operating room. Very few surgeons will ever promise a cup size because there is no standard measurement. What is more important is that you like the size of the breasts/implants when you try them on in the office and that...

Breast size
You are not symmetric and have ptosis. The first issue is for you to understand this is not a straightforward case. I would discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

Implant size that meets your expectations
From the photo you provided you do have asymmetry and ptosis. Given all the questions you asked it seems imperative that you show your surgeon photos of what you want to look like. This would help your surgeon and you in making decision on the size of the implant and the placement of the implant in the breast. The question about the cup size is very common and in reality the size of the implant depends on breast dimensions and to certain extent patient's desire. Good luck.

Realistic expectations after breast augmentation
Please be sure your doctor clearly understands the "look" you want, not a letter cup size. This will determine the best size for you. Also, please understand that your breasts are not perfect starting points for a home-run result not only because of the asymmetry but also because both need some lifting in my opinion. The implants above the muscle will not lift you and going big will create a ball in a sock look which is very matronly. If you want full round perky...

Breast augmentation implant size
Your breast are low. Add You want a large augmentation. 533 mL may not be enough to give you the size that you want and in the lift. When you try on the implant in the bra it always those larger than it will look after surgery.
You should go back to Dr. and review the size of the implant. Look at photographs of patients with similar breasts you before surgery and the results after surgery and see if this is what you like.

Choosing your Implant Size
From your photos, it looks like you have some breast asymmetry (which is very common) but you may want to address that with your surgeon as well.. maybe a slight lift of the right side? Also, I think it's too much responsibility for the patient to choose their implant because there are so many factors to take into account. I ask for patients to bring in photos of the shape/size that they are wanting to achieve and at that point, we have a discussion as to how to achieve their...
