What Size Should I Choose? (34A, 5'3", 113lb)

Hello Everyone. I want to do a breast augmentation but I am not sure what size is perfect for me. I want a big size but I am not sure until which size I can go up but something that looks natural with my bady. My weigh is 113 pounds, I am 5.3 inches. I'm wide hips and legs. My current breast is 34A but that is because I have broad shoulders. Thanks

Breast implant sizing

T 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.

This is a very good question.  I make measurements of the current base diameter of the breast and long with each patient try understand how they would like appear.  We do this by reviewing previous augmentation patients with similar heights, weights and body styles.  I will not put ecessively large implants in any patient.

You have asked a very common, but important question. I am glad you have chosen a natural look for your body.  The only way to obtain a natural look is to pick an implant which fits comfortably within the height and width of your chest area.  In some cases, the breast fold can be lowered to accommodate a larger implant as long as the implant fits comfortably within the width of your chest.  This happens commonly in patients who have a wide, but short chest.

Implant sizing

Sizing breast implants for augmentation requires combing a patient's goals for surgery with their breast anatomy. Several dimensions of the breast are measured which gives a range of implants that would be concealed "naturally" within the breast. From these implants, a size and shape is chosen to meet the goals of the patient. Keep in mind that the larger the implant is in relation to the amount of breast tissue you have, the less "natural" and more... more

Breast Implant Sizing

I recommend, actually insist, that you see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in your area who specializes in breast surgery He or she will perform a physical exam, measure your chest/breast and make recommendations for you based on this exam. It is very important to understand the process will be a bit labor intensive on your part and you may need to size yourself a number of times before surgery (you may even want to see more than one surgeon and size yourself in both/ all offices you... more

Right size implants

Your surgeon should discuss this carefully with you.  I believe the best results are in women whose goal is to be more proportionate.  It should look like the implants "fit".  There is also a lower risk of long term complications, and reoperations with the appropriate size implant.

Selecting the right size breast implant:

Choosing the right breast implant can be a complex decision that should be made in conjunction with your surgeon. The size you select now may not be the best choice for you in 10 years and it is important that you take this into consideration as well. I have included a link to a breast sizing device as well as a sizing program on our website. see video
