Current a Saggy Size D. Will Lift & 339 Saline Implants Filled to 360 Make a DD?

I'm 5'7 160lbs. I'm currently a saggy size 38D. Dr recommended under the muscle saline implants. With a classic lift. Today I chose 339 implants filled to around 360. I'm wondering if they will be big enough...I'd like to be a full, perky DD. Everything I read seems like everyone is in the 450-500 range for DD's. Will 360 get me there? Dr. said I have a lot of my own breast tissue, is that why 360's may do the job? Wondering if I should go bigger?

Choose your surgeon with great care, then communicate carefully...

Hi there- As you can see from the answers already given, there is not going to be a reliable way for anyone to tell you what your bra size will be after breast surgery, or how the volume of the implant will affect this... I think the best way to give you comfort is to help you get some perspective- and please understand that I am telling you this because I truly believe it is what is in your best interests... You took your first steps along the path to breast surgery because you... more

Wanting a DD

Of course, the size you end up with is a combination of: what you start with, the implant size, subtracting any tissue that is removed during your mastopexy. While you say that you are wearing a D cup now, sometimes with a droopy breast, the breast isn't as full volume-wise as a D-cup with a perky breast would be - which makes it hard to estimate your pre-op size without photos or an examination. So women with a droopy D might only have the actual breast volume of a "perky"... more

Right Size From Full D To DD.

Dear Kelli, Without photographs and physical examination, it is hard to provide you with a definitive answer. Logically, if you have enough of your own breast tissue you will need a relatively smaller implants to achieve a given size compared to someone with less breast tissue. You will have to undergo physical examination and try out different implants of different sizes during consultation. That said, it is important that you consult with board certified surgeons... more

Best Breast Implants for Me?

Unfortunate, without direct examination and a full communication of your goals it is not possible to give you precise advice. Assuming you have chosen your plastic surgeon carefully, he/she is the best position to advise you. During the planning phase of your breast augmentation/mastopexy surgery it will be very important to communicate your goals with your surgeon. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too... more

Getting sized for breast implants is much more involved than it seems at first thought

Getting sized for breast implants is much more involved than it seems at first thought. It requires a full consultation with detailed questions to see exactly what your goals are, short and long term. It also requires precise measurements of your current breast dimensions, the dimensions of your chest wall, as well as preoperative photography, standard or 3D imaging. To see what the best options are for you, see two or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area for a full and... more

Implant size selection to achieve your goals

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. This will give you a unique breast implant that is suited for your body frame. Even your fitness... more

Classic lift with breast implants

Hi Kelli, I strongly discourage larger implants in conjunction with a 'classic lift'. I commend your PS for suggesting placement of implants below the muscle for better support, but if you are in need of a lift, a vertical scar will only weaken the skin envelope and have disastrous results. I performed anchor, short scar, and vertical scar lifts for many years with unsatisfactory results for patients and self. I abandoned those techniques years ago for an... more
