Breast implant size

It is very important to communicate your size goals with your 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 looking" means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired... more

The Right Size for Your Breasts

This is a difficult question without seeing your pre operative photos. The width of your chest will determine the optimal breast size. Your surgeon will aid you in discussing your sizing options. Most women look best in a C range, and how much breast tissue you currently have will be added to the size of the implant to determine your ideal size.

Choosing an implant size

Choosing an implant size that is right for you starts with measurements taken by your surgeon during your consultation and examination. Your surgeon will measure your chest width, tissue thickness, skin stretch, etc to narrow down the size of implant that is good for you. Then you can put the implants within your range into a bra and covered with a form fitting shirt to see the look that you will have after surgery. Avoid deciding on a cup size as different manufactures/designers as well... more

Implant size choices

The best way to determine what size implants to use is to try the implant on in a support bra and put on a clingy top. Try various sizes until you get the look that you want. Your surgeon should be able to translate that into what size and style of implant to eventually use. Don't worry about cup size because it really is the look that you are after, not the cup size. Also don't obsess about small differences in volume. You really will not notice 25-50 cc difference.

Breast implant size decision is between you and your surgeon

It is helpful that you have stated your height and weight, but you should also discuss your breast width with your surgeon. There is a wide range of sizes that would fit your frame. The larger the implant (within reason) the closer they will be together. Actual cleavage is more of pushing the breats together in a bra (even Hollywood stars resort to taping). So pick something proportionate that will flatter your body type. Best of luck.

Breast implant size

Dear Dollycakes It is very difficult to tell just based on height and weight. I would need to know base diameter, the tissue quality, etc. Discuss this with your your plastic surgeon and ask if you can see patients of your approximate size and shape to see what looks good. Remember that minor differences in size will be less noticeable with the implants even if they are the same size. I use a Portrait 3-D camera to show patients various sizes and that seems to help a great deal. Good... more
