Breast Augmentation: Q&A

Interested in Breast Augmentation. What Will 370-380cc Put Me At If I'm A 34B Right Now? (photo)
My name is Laura. I am 21 years old and I have been very interested in a breast augmentatoin procedure. My natural breast size is a 34B with a little bit of a natural "pull of gravity" aka sag lol. I am looking into a taerdrop silicone implant placed submuscular through the areola. If I am a 34B now, what size will a 370cc-380cc implant leave me at? The biggest I would go for an implant would be 400cc's but I feel like I don't need to, since I already have "something to hold on to" lol

Picking the perfect breast implant
Laura there are some issue that need to be considered prior to picking the ideal implant for you. The first is how do you want it to look when you are done with the surgery? Do you want the fake look? The natural look? Something in between? Are you tall or short, this makes a significant difference in how the same size implants will look. You will need to be seen by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who does a lot of these procedures for optimal results...

Predicting Bra Size based upon Implant Size
It's an educated guess when it comes to predicting post-operative cup size. However, with the size you are contemplating you would possibly be a D cup. A subglandular approach would be reasonable, as would a dual plane sub-pectoral approach as concerns implant placement. I am personally not a great fan of 'anatomical' implants and would probably use a moderate profile implant. Your breasts already demonstrate a good deal of volume and it would be easy to reduce the volume of the...

Thanks for the posted photos. As you can read the expert posters all have differing opinions. Thus you need in person research. But at least I recommend HP round NOT anatomics.

Breats augemntation when there is a little "sag"
From your pictures I would recommend a sub-glandular (on top of the muscle) approach using ROUND gel implants. The goal would be to add volume to create better balance between your breast volume and breast skin envelopes.
Teardrop implants will provide an unnatural upper pole fullness and will also have the potential to rotate.
Under the muscle placement will isolate the implant from your natural breast volume. This will become a problem over time as your breasts...

Choose a low profile silicone gel in a cold-subfascial plane for a natural tear-dropshape
From the look of things you should probably go 280-370 in the subfascial plane for a natural look. I perform the cold-subfascial augmentation to create beautiful tear drop shaped breast. Only in a in person exam can a surgeon advise you exactly on implant selection but be sure that you choose low profile in the range above and select a cohesive silicone gel. I hope this helps!
All the best,

Breast implants and cup size
There are two things I always tell my patients when it comes to implant volumes and cup sizes. First, bra manufacturers are all different. They don't have standard cup sizes. While you might be a B cup in one bra, you might be a C cup in another. With that in mind, no one can guarantee you a cup size. We can only put you in the ballpark of what cup size you might want.
Second, different doctors have different ways of determining which volume implant to...

Best Breast Implant Size for Me?
Thank you for the question and pictures. In person examination will be necessary to give you good advice (for example whether breast lifting will be necessary to improve symmetry of the breasts).
You are correct in that you have a significant amount of breast tissue to begin with. Therefore, you will likely not need a large implant to achieve your goals.
Unfortunately, no plastic surgeon is able to accurately predict what cup size you will end up wearing after breast...

What will my cup size be after surgery?
Great question, Laura! And believe it or not, it's a very complicated question. The bottom line is that it is virtually impossible to predict what your cup size will be after surgery. You need to meet in person with at least one board certified plastic surgeon who will take multiple measurements of your breasts and chest and have a detailed discussion with you about your body, your goals, and your desires. When it comes to choosing an implant size, you need to make the decision based...

Getting sized for breast implants is much more involved than it seems at first thought.
Thank you for your question and the photos.
Getting sized for breast implants is much more involved than it seems at first thought. It requires a full consultation with detailed questions to see exactly what your goals are, short and long term. It also requires precise measurements of your current breast dimensions, the dimensions of your chest wall, as well as preoperative photography, standard or 3D imaging.
To see what the best options are for you, see two or more...
