Breast implant sizing

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

Implant size

It is difficult to tell you what would be best for your body frame without undergoing a physical exam and discussing your goals.

Breast base diameter is probably the single most critical measurement for selecting implant size

The breast base diameter is a more important measurement than the rib cage band witdth. This determines the size of the implant that can comfortably fit "within" each breast without popping out beyond the borders and creating a double bubble type appearance. see video

It is really dependant on the base diameter of your chest more so than your bra size. It will also depend on the profile of implant you are looking at, whether moderate plus vs high profile silicone. Having said that, what I would recommend is that you try the rice test. Here is a link that describes the little test you can do at home to see what you would like to look like from a volume standpoint. http://www.feplasticsurgery.com/journal/orange-county-breast-augmentation-sizing/66/ Once... more

Implant Size for 32 inches Chest

The largest implant that you can receive and still "look normal" is a function of your breast diameter rather than your chest circumference. You need to pick an implant which is slightly smaller at its base than your breast diameter. You can then select different volumes based on the profile of the implant (low, moderate, or high). Good luck!

Is it possible to recommend a Breast Implant without an Exam?

Hi there- No one could responsibly and accurately recommend a breast implant for you without first meeting with you to discuss your goals, and (most importantly) to examine you. The choice of breast implant for any individual patient ideally is made NOT only on the basis of her desired size or appearance, but should optimally be heavily influenced by the quality and quantity of skin and breast tissue present and the dimensions of her breasts and chest. These are very specific measurements... more

It is your plastic surgeon's job to pick breast implants for the look you want.

Hi. 1) This is a very technical question . Don't try to do it yourself. Show your plastic surgeon pictures of what you would like to look like after breast augmentation. 2) In New York City, we use sterile, disposable implant SIZERS during your surgery to actually see which size looks best before opening the permanent implants. 3) This is such a common issue that I wrote an article for RealSelf about picking breast implants. You may find it helpful and you can read it on my profile.... more

It really isn't so much about the size of the implant used, but about obtaining the look that you want to achieve. No, you probably won't need or even want to have the same size of implant that a taller, more "robust" patient might use, but if you achieve a natural, healthy looking outcome, that's the main objective. We have patients bring in pictures of women who have the 'look' that they would like to have, and pictures of women who have the 'look' they dislike. Those dislike... more
