Full, round breast implants for a petite woman?

I just turned 18 and I want to get breast implants. I am a size 32 A and 5 feet tall. I am very petite and do not have a lot of breast tissue. What is the biggest size implants I can get without looking out of proportion with the rest of my body? I was thinking of possibly going to a full B cup size. Could I go bigger? Also, would silicone or saline be better? I would want them to be round and full so I would have a good amount of cleavage. Thanks!

Having said that, saline implants are your only choice, but... more

Hi! 1)  We see this question so often that I tried to answer it in the breast augmentation page of my web site.  See link below. 2)  Full B cup sounds about right.  You don't want to look fake. 3)  Silicone implants, in general, give better results. 4)  It is your surgeon's... more

A: Hi profile implants may be your best choice for breast augmentation

Francisco Canales, MD

Given your frame and size, I think high profile implants would be your best bet.  You can easily obtain a large B cup and usually you can go larger.  Obviously, a lot depends on your tissues and how pliable they are.  You are not eligible for silicone implants until age 22, so if you are going... more
