BA Soon! Please Help! What Size Should I Get? How About Stretch Marks?

I'm 5'7 but look taller. I weight 170-175lbs, 34B or probably A but B looks fine, and I'm doing a BA. I checked out the doctors where I chose to have the surgery done and some are great but some are not. The one I saw(who didnt want to tell me) told the coordinator he wants in me 750cc and I think thats WAY TOO BIG! I'm scared so I'm going back to see another one. I have STRETCH MARKS already. I'm scared they might get bigger. I think I want about a D or so? CC's? I want mid+ hp. HELP!

750 is a very large implant

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. Even with the dimensions given it is hard to determine what you need without an in person consultation. I would consider trying sample implants and showing your surgeon pictures of your desired result to help determine the size implant that should be used. Jaime Perez,... more

B to D Cup Size Increase and How Many CC for my Breast Augmentation

If you are a small B and you want to be a full D, that is about 2.5 cups you need. This may be 500 cc in an average size woman. You will have to try on sizers in the office to get a sense of the size you want. Then, you will have to determine if that is appropriate for your chest wall width.

Making sure your breast implants size is right for you

It's important to voice your concerns to your plastic surgeon about implant size. Having done hundreds of breast augmentations I have my patients take samples of implants and place them in their bra to get a real-life idea of how their breasts will look. I also tell my patients to bring in photos of breasts they like to give me an idea of what size they're looking for. Good luck! see video

What Size Should I Get?

This decision is best made in the consultation room, not on line, and it is really not possible to make a worthwhile guess without some photos. 750 cc may make you a DD or larger, so I share your concern. I like to have patients try on implants in the office, and use that info to choose the implant size--usually about 10% larger than the trial that looked good, since the implants look larger on top of the breast than when placed surgically. Do get at least one other... more

I went today to check out another doctor and he was great. He said that he wants to put in a 650 and fill it in case I need more, maybe 625-675cc. I am also 14-15 in width.
