I know my self-taken measurements will likely vary from those taken by my plastic surgeon, and that there are many other things to take into consideration, but what could be a good fit for me based on these measurements: 30" rib cage (taken under arm pit) 31" bust at nipples 34" bust when pregnant 11.5 cm wide L (flat distance from crease to crease) 10.5 cm wide R 5'4" 105 lbs 34.5" hips

Breast Implant Selection

Hello Addie's Mommy, Thank you for the excellent photographs and measurements as well. I believe you gave all the right information for a surgeon to make a decision about implant size for you, or at least the biggest implant that would be available to you should you want it. You are thin! Your breast tissue is small, with breast bases of 10.5 cc on the right and 11.5 cm on the left. Your skin elasticity appears tight. So, from an anatomic standpoint, the... more

What is a good implant size for me.

Dear Addies Mom, given your measurements and photos, there are a range of implants that will create a natural look, appropriate for your body and breast shape. My recommndations are anywhere from a 275CC mod plus profile implant if you are looking for a very modest enhancement (this will result in a B cup), to a 325CC moderate plus profile implant which will give you a C cup. Keep in mind that cup sizes are approximate. If you are looking for a larger... more

Measurements are only 1/2 the picture.

While measurements provide a platform from which to choose an implant, your goals from augmentation are just as important. Given your small frame and breast size, a submuscular silicone gel implant is your best option. The size and shape of the implant depend on the breast dimensions, the tightness of the skin, and your ultimate goals from augmentation. I encourage you to find a local Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to have a consultation. This will give you your best options. more

Have measurements--find best implant size!

Many other factors go into choosing a size; you may want to read my article (found on the About tab of my Profile page on this site) titled "What is the Right Breast Implant Size for You?" for more insight into how we as plastic surgeons help our patients... more

Breast implant size

Choosing the right implant for you really depends upon what volume you want. More than likely a narrower based implant would be best for your anatomy.

Size is based on so many factors...

Your measurements help and the photos help too but they do not substitute for a physical exam that helps to show the quality and elasticity of your tissues. Furthermore, I do not know what your goals are. Are you looking to be on the larger side or smaller side? Unfortunately a computer forum like this is a poor place to seek recommendations that are specific such as what size implant to use. I would suggest meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon to help... more
