Ask a QuestionWould 425cc still look natural on my frame?
I'm 5'9 140lbs and very active. I have nursed 3 children & am now a small A cup. I'm scheduled for surgery in 1 month & have chosen 425cc. Would this size still look natural on my frame?

Breast implant sizing
The more breast surgery I do the more I realize that there is no correlation between the size of implant and resulting cup size. This may have to do with several factors including: the amount of breast volume the patient starts with, the shape of the patient's chest wall (concave or convex), the type and model of breast implant selected (saiine/silicone and low/moderate/high profile), bra manufacturer variance in cup sizes, the degree of filling...

A posted frontal photo would only help advise you in your decision. My guess is yes but not sure. Best of luck.

You question does not have enough details to give you a good answer. One of the best ways that I have found to educate patients and help them with size decisions is 3D imaging. In our office we use the e-Stetix system and women love it. It gives you an idea of what you would look like with different size implants. You can even see how you would look with different outfits. If you are still unsure, check with your doctor's office to see if they offer 3D...

Breast implant size is based on your anatomy
Without photos it is difficult to sugest implant sizes. I assume that you came to the 425cc implant size with your plastic surgeon during the consultation. Is this a 425cc low, medium or high profile, since this determines the base diameter as well. If you want to look natural, and well proprtioned, then you need to choose an implant that is adequately covered by your own tissues without being overly stretched. Too large an implant will lead to sagging, tissue thinning and poor cosmetic...

Sizing Breast Implants
The choice of the best implant size for you is one that you should have as much control over as possible guided by input from your surgeon. It is difficult to give you feedback with only height and weight to go on. It is important to compare the dimensions of the implant to the dimensions of your chest wall and to make some assessment of your skin elasticity. It is also important to know what kind of look you would like to achieve. People of similar body...

Natural breast implant choice
Without examining you, I can't say but your doctor should certainly be able to predict what you will get from that choice. It all depends on what you call "natural", what your starting point and base width are and what profile of 425 implant has been chosen. If you are not sure, go back to re-review with the doctor, not a nurse.

The final look of your implants in your body depends on many factors, but the dimensions (width and projection) of the implant is much more important than the volume. Is the 425cc of your planned augmentation wide for your frame with low projection, or is it narrow with high projection? The best final approximation of what you will look like, in my opinion, is to try the implants on with a non padded bra. 5'9", 140 lbs doesn't explain what your chest looks like, but...

425cc seems appropriate
425 cc implants may be fine for you. You state that you are 5'9" and 140 lbs. You are a relatively tall woman. As a general rule, taller women have broader shoulders and a wider chest and usually can use a larger implant than a woman with a smaller frame. The most common implant sizes in my practice are between 325 and 375cc but most of the women I see are shorter than 5'9". There are other things to consider such as the amount of breast tissue you...
