Breast implant size

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

What is Considered Proportionate Breast Implants for Me

It is very easy to be confused by this measuring system. Cup sizes are only used as estimates for clothing. Although the measuring technique for determining cup size is precise, the results of these measurements are not. Let me give you an example; weight is a very accurate measurement.

Without proper photos or an examination, it is hard to say what would be right for you. Everyone's body anatomy is different and a 375 cc implant in you will look very different in someone else. For this reason, it's best to consult with several surgeons and make a decision that both you and your surgeon are comfortable with.

Beraka, MD Manhattan Plastic Surgeon 1) This is the most common type of question on RealSelf. 2) It is the surgeon's job to pick the right breast implants, not the patient's. Implant selection is really pretty technical. 3) Make sure your surgeon REALLY understands the look you want. Mentioning a cup size is not enough.

Breast Implant Size

Thanks for posting the picture.  However, it would be better to have standard breast pictures with multiple angles and just your torso.  Breast implant size is really determined by your breast width and the amount of existing breast tissue.  In consultation with your plastic surgeon, you can come up with a range of breast implants that are appropriate for your anatomy.  I see you are in Phoenix.  I know several plastic surgeons in that area if you need a... more
