Tags: 130-149 lbs, 5 ft 0 in to 5 ft 3 in, asymmetry, B cup, fuller, implant size

I would like to get BA, but dont know what size I should go? I am a Small B now and would like a Full C or Small D. I am 5'2 and 135 pounds. I breastfed 2 children and have lost everything. I am asymetric and would like that fixed. Not sure if I need two different size implants or if one would make them symetrical? I am hoping I dont need a lift too! I would like a upper breast fullness. What is the best type and size of implant to get me to Full C/ Small D breasts?

Size, Shape, Symmetry, Sagging Can Be Improved!

Size: There are many approaches to sizing: Bio-dimensional: your surgeon can select a size for you based upon your measurements, skin laxity, and your preferences for a shape (profile) and cup size. the most natural or "stealth" augmentation will use the lowest profile implant that fits the width of your natural breast women who prefer more upper chest fullness may select a medium or high profile implant a medium or h... more

Sizing of breast implants

Much of the final “look” achieved after breast augmentation surgery depends on several factors: 1. The initial shape, size (volume of breast tissue), symmetry of the patient's breasts. In general, the better the preoperative breast appearance the more likely the breast augmentation “look” will be optimal. 2. The experience/skill level of the surgeon is important in determining the final outcome. For example, the accurate and gentle... more

Breast implant size is mostly up to you, within limits

It is difficult to recommend a breast implant size without actually seeing the patient and examining her breasts in person. Usually it is best to try out different sizes using the bra size that you desire. To a certain extent, within limits based on the patient's body shape and tissue elasticity, there is a wide range of implant sizes that would work. I recommend a face to face consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your neighborhood. Names and... more

Breast aug and lift

It looks like you would benefit from a small lift. The cc amount would best be determined from a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Implant sizes

It is very difficult to offer a suggestion about the size of the implants best for you without an exam. You may also need a lift of the areola as well.

Determining the proper breast implant to achieve desired cup size

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. However two patients that weigh 120 lbs are not likely to look alike. The same is true with two patients that have C cup breasts. This is why physicians tend to use volume (cubic centimeters or cc) as a... more

Implant sizing.

Thank you for your question. You have multiple questions which unfortunately cannot be answered simply with the photo and data provided. A comprehensive breast exam allows for your surgeon to assess the quality of breast tissue coverage, the amount of lower pole skin available, your breast dimensions, and to choose a range of implants to satisfy your goals. In general, small asymmetries are magnified by breast augmentation and may require different size implants to correct. In reference to a... more

Breast implants, asymmetry, and size results

There are answers to your questions but it requires an exam and a plastic surgeon familiar with dimensional implant sizing and how to address the issues of asymmetry and sagging (ptosis). There is indeed volume and shape/position differences of your breasts. It is not possible to be sure from a picture, but if the nipple position is more than 2 cm below the level of the inframammary crease behind the breast then a lift is required. If it is less than 2 cm below the crease line... more

Breast lift with augmentation

There are several features of your breasts which require attention. You have asymmetry in shape, volume and length of the breasts. Each will need to be addressed to give you the best possible result. First lets start with the right breast. Your nipple is just below the crease and there appears to be less than 2 cm of breast sagging below the cease. There is also loss of upper pole fullness. A breast augmentation combined with a breast lift would give... more

Augmentation of sagging breasts

You really should consider a lift with your augmentation implants. Enhancement is not just about volume, but shape as well. The tragedy is realized when you have augmented sagging breasts that continue to sag. Most surgeons will see best results in those who correct shape and volume together. On that note, most patients after the implants have settled will comment that they should have chosen larger implants rather than smaller. Happy breast results to... more

Honey, you are not a small B

Dear Help, From the photo, you are not a small B cup. Your breasts are at least a full B. To get to a full C or small D cup at your chest circumference you would need about 150cc per cup size increase. So, a 300cc implant alone would bring you to a D cup. Now, you also need a lift, so you will lose a small amount with the lift, which would bring you down to a small D if you had 300cc implants placed. I would recommend consultation with a couple of board... more

Full C or Small D

Thanks for the photo. I would recommend a 450 cc range in high profile implant. A possible donut lift might also be a good idea. Obtain 3 boarded surgeon's in person opinions.
