Breast Augmentation: Q&A
Ask a QuestionHelp, Are These the Right Size Implants?
I'm 5'0" 110 lbs, petite. I had weight loss surg almost 2 years ago, I've leveled out. I started with full C breasts now deflated to an A, not much ptosis. The distance between the base of my neck and nipple is 21cm's and diameter of my breasts are 17cm's, if I measured right. I would like to be a D after. I want 500cc hp gummy bear implants, sub muscular. My first consult is 1/10. Will hp implants be too small in diameter or should I go with mod profile? Will 500cc be way to big for my frame?

500 cc implants Too Big for My Frame
Very few women at 5 feet in height would be well served by 500 ml implants. Also, going from an A to a D is generally not something I recommend. A to C would be reasonable. If you want 500 ml, HP will not be too small for your chest wall, and they will likely be too large for your chest wall (due to the high volume). All of these are vague generalities, and you should discuss all of these concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon...

How do I select the appropriate breast implant size?
This is a decision you and your surgeon will make together. It is important to understand that there is not a wide range of implant sizes and profiles that will look natural in each individual patient. Given your height, weight and preoperative breast profile, there really is a limited range of implants sizes and profiles that will produce a full - but natural - breast appearance. So it is important to establish from the beginning...

Right size implants after weight loss and deflation
Thanks for your question and congratulations on your weight loss! Without an exam, it would be hard to tell what would be the better choices in implant styles for your size of chest. 17 cm seems a bit wide for someone who is 5'0" and 110 lbs. Higher profile implants are sometimes chosen when a patient desires a larger breast (cup) size but do not want them wider than the chest itself (the notorious side boob). Choosing the volume of implants is really a personal...

500 cc Implants
Hello,
You've made such an effort to become petite, why would you want to look heavy with 500cc implants. Bigger is not sexier. Get a consultation with a few surgeons certified by the ABPS and who are also members of the ASAPS. Hopefully, they will use 'dimensional planning' to obtain a properly sized implant. High Profile implants have the highest risk of complications.
Best of luck!

The style is more important than the volume. The high profile implants are nice but i really like the moderate plus profile look. I think they look a lot more natural.

Right Size Implants?
I would guess that 17 cm is the circumference and not the diameter. The diameter measurement would be a straight line from the innermost to the outermost breast tissue. Someone your size is likelier to have a diameter of 10 or 11 cm. In that setting, most surgeons would not recommend implants larger than 300 or so. At 500 cc, even HP implants would be considerably too wide for your frame.
You will be able to discuss this in a more useful manner in the consultants office based upon actual...

Implant Size Difficult To Determine Without Exam
Thank you for your question. It is very difficult to determine proper implant size without an exam, photos and breast measurements. In weight loss patients with loose skin and tissues, a textured silicone implant is very helpful to reduce the chances of implant malposition long term. This can be a problem in some weight loss patients due to stretching of the tissues caused by weight gain and nutritional changes. Your frame size and base diameter will determine whether 500...

Size
I recommend using a sizing system when you see a board certified PS. I doubt your diameter is 17cm. if you are 5' and 110lbs. 500cc would be quite large on your frame

Implant size
If your breast width is 17cm, then you may want moderate or moderate plus profile. That seems a little wider than I would expect for your height and weight. High profile may be too narrow. If you know what volume you want, then your surgeon should be able to pick the proper profile for you, based on the width of your breasts.
Good luck.
