Want to Go From B to DD Cup, Breast Implants too Large?

I am 18 and had my son a year ago. I stopped breast feeding after a month due to complications, and now my breasts are very deflated. Before pregnancy I was a large C cup, a D when I breastfed, now I am a small B. I am thinking about sizes, and want to fit into a DD bra. I am 5'2, and weigh 105 pounds. Would this look "too large" on my petite frame. (I like the "bigger look" and think it would help me with my modeling career.) I need doctor's advice, Thanks!

Breast Implant Sizing

I consider two factors when selecting implants for my patients: 1.Dimensional planning 2.Gel Implant Sizing system Dimensional planning – The measurements of your chest wall are taken. Also, the breast dimensions including the height, width, and current dimensions of each breast form the basis of dimensional planning. Based on these measurements, the implant size is recommended.

Without an exam it is very difficult to "size you up." But I wold caution you to go very large. The larger you go, the more likely you will have earlier sagging. There are other issues with very large implants as well, distortion, increased risk of double bubble, etc..

Leaping from B to DD Cup WOULD require Large Breast Implants and Their Consequences

Without an examination much less photographs it is impossible to give you anything close to advice which may be specific to you. Consider for a minute the way your breast look now. The expansion of 9 months of pregnancy deflated a C breast into a B breast by rapidly expanding and stretching the skin breast envelope. If you had a Breast Lift (which removed this excess skin) you should be able to regain much of the shape and perkiness of the pre-pregnancy breasts. If you added a small... more

Watch out for too big breast implants in a small frame

Without photos it is hard to say but from your description, you might also need a lift as big implants will not lift you if the nipples have sagged down. Also, really big implants will look super fake on your tiny frame so go to an excellent plastic surgeon and be measured specifically for what width implants you can carry off. Then choose the profile that will get closest to the look you want...probably high profile.

Breast Implants Sizing?

Unfortunately, it is not possible to give you good advice without direct examination despite your description of wanting the “bigger look” but not wanting to look “too large”. In planning your breast augmentation procedure it will be very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon. in my practice I find the use of goal pictures to be very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C... more
