Will 400cc HP Breast Implants Look Fine on Small Frame?

I am 4'11" and 100 lbs. I am now a 32 B. I am considering 400cc with silicone high profile breast implants. Do you think that will be okay on my frame?

400cc HP breast implants on small frame

RE - "Do you think that will be okay on my frame?" It all depends how YOU see and define "Okay" and "fine". I happen to like the Mentor silicone high profile implants because they are actually smaller than the Mentor 2000 Moderate Plus Saline implants (Which are smaller than the Mentor AND Allergan High Profile Saline implants). BUT - THE question here should not be how many fraternity brothers can one squeeze into a VW beetle or a phone booth (1950's stuff) OR... more

400 cc HP implants on a small frame

You will have one of the hugest most unnatural looking results you have ever seen if you put a 400cc HP implant in a tiny 4'11" patient! No way will this look good and you will get into lots of problems later from doing this. Go smaller to match your body better. If your doctor agreed to do this, you need another doctor who will watch out for your health better.

Do not use such large breast implants.

Hi! 1) I urge you not to get such large breast implants. They will look totally fake, they will stretch your tissues, and they will age terribly. 2) See link below. see video

Breast sizing

The more breast surgery I do the more I realize that there is no correlation between the size of implant and resulting cup size. This may have to do with several factors including: the amount of breast volume the patient starts with, the shape of the patient's chest wall (concave or convex), the type and model of breast implant selected (saiine/silicone and low/moderate/high profile), bra manufacturer variance in cup sizes, the degree of filling of the... more

Will 400cc HP Breast Implants Look Fine on Small Frame? This is s larger than average implant for a smaller than average

AS the increased use of silicone implants becomes more popular there are lessons we have learned that are distinct from saline. High profile silicone is not as high profile as saline and this can scare patients away. I have relied onuse of the sizers to assist me in this regard. However this is s larger than average implant for a smaller than average frame.

Breast Implant Sizing

Caution!!! Those sound big on your frame, but ultimately I would need measurements to make the final determination. But judging from your height and weight yes they are a bit too big and may need to down size a bit to get with in your base diameter. Good luck.

Need to be examined for breast implant size

Depends on how much breast tissue/skin you have. Might be too big on your frame. High profile impants would probably the type your surgeon will choose as they are narrower.

High profile implants will work on a small frame

High profile implants will work on a small frame or small relative chest size and are a means of 'pushing the volume' when the base of the breast is limited and a very full cup size is desired. Keep in mind that the implant has a very full projection and is not always the most natural in consistency. Still some patients like them. The 400cc volume you are considering will put you well into a D cup and be a noticeable or showy result. Do your homework with pictures, and if you like the look,... more

Are these implants too big for me

There are a number of factors to consider in the choice of a breast implant. I like to ask a patient what bra size they are trying to achieve although we most certainly can never promise a cup or bra size. This allows me to get an idea as to whether it is achievable or not. Next, your measurements and skin and soft tissue needs to be carefully considered. If the base width of the implant fits within the dimensions of your breast and your tissues will relax and accept the implant, it... more

Breast Implant size on small frame

The only one who can assess the size that a patient will like is the patient. The best way to assess how you will look is to try on the implants in a sports bra with a clingy top. This will give you a good idea. Although 400 cc's on your frame sounds too large, you need to try them on and see how you look. If you like the look go with the size. You should also discuss with your plastic surgeon the positives and negatives of various sizes.

High Profile is the right implant

400 cc implants are a good size implant that will give you a certain look. Have you tried them on to see how you feel with them? I would suspect you would be a D bra with this size. What is the base diameter of your breast and base diameter of the implant? This size comparison will also give you a clue as to how natural or unnatural the final look will be. You will need to decide how prominent and big you want to be. Best Wishes

400 cc implants on a small frame

Without examining you it would be difficult to tell you for sure. But, in all likelihod these will probably be too big for your frame.

Small frame and large implants

Hi, these large implants will look somewhat unnatural on a small frame. You may be going for this look, which is fine, but you should be aware that such large implants will stretch out your skin irreversibly. If you decided to change to a smaller size at some point, you would most likely need to have a breast lift as well to lift the sagging skin from the large implants. You should be evaluated by a plastic surgeon to ensure that you have enough width on your chest to accomodate such... more

HP Implants

Dear BaBergl In petit women the high profile implants allow you to go larger in size without the width. At 4'11" using a 400cc HP will probably put you into the D range. Remeber that this is not something you can adjust if you want to be smaller in a year or two and you would need to change the implant. I would discuss this with your plastic surgeon so you are both on the same page and know what you are getting in terms of size. As far as your frame goes I would need to know the... more
