I am scheduled for breast augmentation surgery on September 14 with Natrelle mederate profile silicone breast implants. I am a moderate B who's lost upper fullness from running and I am very lean. My doctor picked 286, 304, and 339 cc's for surgery. I only want to be between a small and moderate C. He suggested that the 304 cc implants will most likely be the fit, but I'm scared that they will be too big. Should I suggest the smaller implant?

Implant choices

Choosing the right implant for you requires a physical exam and consultation. One way to check the right volume for you since you already chose the range, is to do a baggy test with the volumes you think will be right for you.

Breast implant sizes.

Hi! 1) It is absolutely not your job to pick implants. You have to trust your surgeon to make this technical decision. Just make sure your surgeon knows you are afraid of being too big (a very appropiate fear). 2) Your surgeon should use disposable implant SIZERS during your surgery to find the ideal size for you. That takes the guess work out. 3) You may find useful information in the breast augmentation page of my web site.

Try a breast implant sizer.

These implants are about 10 ounces. I would recommend that you try a sizer on and walk, run, jog, try different clothes on, ask friends, etc and determine if this is a comfortable fit for you. Your surgeon should be able to suggest sizing techniques such as the rice test, or zip lock bag. If not breast implant sizer kits are available on line.

Choosing the right breast implant

Most women realize that their "cup size" often depends upon the bra manufacturer. Many women can wear both a "B" or "C" bra from different companies and have the exact same fit. Thus, choosing your breast implant based upon this criteria is flawed as there is NO scientific basis for this. As a solution, I have found that sizing with the implant in a bra is the "most accurate" means to determine post-op outcomes. Your doctor may need to adjust this... more
