What is a Good Implant Size for a Small Frame 5'4 118 Lbs?

I'm currently a 34b and I'm having trouble choosing an I plant size. I'm active and workout 6 days a week and don't want to be to big. What would be a good range that would fit my frame? I'm trying not to get caught up in size rather than what would fit my body type. I have a long torso and a decent amount of breast tissue.

What is a good implant size for a small framed person, 5'4'', 118 lbs.?

You are now a B cup, so you have some breast tissue even though you are small framed. The question is, what size do you want to be? Your PS has to try to create the proper size for your body and what you visualize as your best size. As an athlete, I would suggest to be very conservative. With that in mind, I suggest that you visit your PS and have him/her use the Mentor sizing kit. These mimick implants even though they don't look like the breast implants that you will receive.

Breast implant sizing

In general, the normal range of breast sizes is A-C for a given chest circumference and by definition, D cups are out of proportion and "too big".

An implant is then chosen based on the width of the patient's breast upright and with arms down. The effect of a properly sized and positioned round implant will then be about a cup... more

Implant sizing kits are helpful in choosing implant size.

In my office, we use an implant sizing kit which has helped our patients choose their size with much higher satisfaction rates. Essentially, we take your current measurements to determine what implant sizes work well for your body. This usually gives a range of +/- 300cc. Then, the implant sizing system is used within your own bra to give a very good idea of what different size implants do for your overall body. The Mentor sizing kit is an excellent way to show you how you would look with... more

What size implant??

I wouldn't want to hazard a guess without at least a photo, and some idea of what you expect in terms of size. What I would recommend is a visit to a surgeon to try on implants. The implants look a little bigger when tried on over the breast than they do when the same size is used, so expect a suggestion to go about 5-10% larger than the trial implant. Bring a t-shirt or a shirt or blouse that you can put on over the implant and bra to get an idea... more
