Trevor M. Born, MD answers: How to achieve medium C breasts on petite frame?

There have been various Q&A's on this, but would like an opinion pertaining to me personally. I'm petite, 5'2 107lbs, small B (lost volume on top after child birth) I know cup size is hard to determine, but would like to be a Medium C and have some volume at top. I like the look of 325cc breast implants when tried on. The doctor suggested 325 implant w/ 350cc's, (said 350cc under the muscle will give me the 325 look). What do you think? Also is moderate plus a good choice? Thanks for your input.

Dear Gidget, breast sizing is beast done in the office with sizers.  You may want to try them on a few different times with different clothing. Your surgeon should be able to advise you- depending on the shape of your breasts and the amount of tissue that will cover the implant.

With Warm Regards,

Hi!

1)  On your frame, breast implants this large will not look natural and will make you bigger than a medium C.

2)  We recommend using disposable implant SIZERS during the operation, before making the final decision about size.  This takes all the guess work out, because your surgeon can actually see what a particular size looks like before opening the permanent implants.

Selecting implants that is right for you is difficult to tell without examining you.  I prefer mod plus or high profile for smaller narrower women.
