Expert Opinion Needed- Will My Expectations Be Met With 255cc Moderate Plus Profile? (photo)

I have a 34/32a. I want a natural look, similar to the last picture. Breast Width Diameter of 11cm Surgeon recommends 255ccs mod + profile. Any bigger and I will need a high profile implant which would look unnatural. Could that size implant give me a result that will be noticeably bigger, an a to a small c cup? I would hate to spend all that money for a very modest change in size..

Breast augmentation and expectations

Thank you for your question. I think every surgeon would like to be able to say that "x" implant can absolutely meet a patients expectations. Your surgeon will and has guided you well...in my practice, we use Mentor's volume sizing system to help patients see what volume a given implant will yield. Unlike the sizers we have been using for years, these are concave on the inside allowing your natural breast a place to sit vs. being squashed against a normal round sizer... more

Implant sizing includes many factors for breast augmentation

Thank you for your question and the photos. It is tough to say without seeing pictures of you and without knowing your height and weight. Also, getting sized in the plastic surgeon's office helps tremendously. To have a better idea if 255cc is good for you, see more than one board-certified plastic surgeons in your area for a full and complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have surgery. I hope this helps. more

Breast Implant Sizing?

Thank you for the question and pictures. Unfortunately, it is not possible to get a precise advice without direct examination. Generally speaking, patients planning on breast augmentation surgery must communicate their size goals with their surgeon carefully. 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... more

Expectations after Breast Augmentation

Hello, Your doctor is guiding you in the right direction with the choice of implant. You are thin and your breast base diameter is 11cm. Your tissues appears tight. I believe his choice is based on your anatomic measurements, and his intent is to give you a great result with the lowest risk of complications that may require a revision surgery. You really don't want anybody's opinion. What you want are decisions based in evidence of effectiveness and... more

Expert Opinion Needed- Will My Expectations Be Met With 255cc Moderate Plus Profile?

Based upon the posted photos still very hard to address the size issue. Personally I would go HP 300 cc. But that is my opinion.

Meeting expectations from breast augmentation

The key to meeting expectation after a breast augmentation is showing the look you want after, and finding a surgeon to work with you toward your goal. You don't 'need' a high profile implant and some of us use very few of them. A moderate profile implant will fit just as well, even above 300cc. Best of luck, Peter Johnson, MD.

What size implant

I would recommend you look on line for women that start with your volume of breast tissue, and you like the final result. The photos usually have a volume cc's of implant listed which may guide you. The postoperative photo you like from the side view may help guide recommendations. But starting where you are, I would be thinking at 300-325cc for a small c cup in mod plus gel. Your base diameter of your breast will help guide what diameter implant is best for you. I agree I do not... more

Moderate vs high profile implants

It has been my experience that moderate profile implants don't deliver enough volume for a given diameter to make the majority of my patients happy. High profile silicone gel implants (not saline) can give a very natural look. When you tilt it upright it assumes a tear-drop shape which looks very natural. Good luck!

Breast implant choices

The best choice of implants for you is determined after careful exam and a discussion of your goals in the office. I can not say one way or the other without that information. It is best to ask you surgeon.

Meeting your expectation

Your expectation needs to be discussed with your plastic surgeon who has examined you. As you know, implants do not come in cup sizes. 255cc moderate+ profile may give your small C or B depending on different bra brands. Without examining you, I think 255cc may give you a moderate change in size. Talk with your plastic surgeon; I would suggest high 200cc or low 300cc. You are starting with good shape. I think you will look great with implants. Best... more
