Perfect size is based on chest dimentions, not estimated cc's.
Hello, and thank you for the question and photos.
Your perfect size should be based on your chest and breast dimentions. Not on cc's guess. The implant diameter should be equal to the diameter of your breasts. This is the first parameter that should be obtained. Next, projection is determined by what cup size you would like to be. In general a moderate profile implant will gain approximately 1 cup size, moderate + will gain 2 cup sizes, and high profile...

Will implants alone be enough for a good result?
Based on your nipple location, there is no question that you should have a mastopexy, (breast lift). Your areolas are at the bottom of your breast and nipples appear below the inframammary fold. I would recommend a circumvertical mastopexy. The cup size is less an ideal way to look at breast size and proportion than to look at the dimensions of your breasts and your body habitus. At 5' 7" you can go with a larger implant that works within the width of your breasts. Going too small will...

Breast Augmentation Options
Hi,
You are understandably confused because, in my opinion, there is not one absolutely "correct" answer:
From your pictures, you appear to be on the borderline as to whether an uplift procedure is necessary for the best result.
You have to consider the possibility of keloid scarring with the more extensive uplift incisions.
Final cup size cannot be guaranteed. I don't think a 400cc implant is "too big" for your frame. But, I recommend reviewing lots of before/after...

No Question You Need a Breast Lift with a Breast Augmentation
The decision between breast augmentation only and an augmentation plus a lift is sometimes a difficult question. In your particular case, from reviewing your photographs, the answer is clear. You need a breast lift or mastopexy in addition to the increased volume of a breast implant. Your nipples are at least 3 cm below the inframammary crease and your nipples point almost straight down. Yes it would be possible to give you a relatively satisfactory result...

Breast lift surgery question
Based on your first picture I think you would benefit from a lift with implants. Size is your choice but somewhere between 300cc and 375cc moderate plus profile should fit your frame. I really like the a circumvertical or lollipop lift and that will allow to help improve your breast asymmetry as well as the areola asymmetry. Good luck and do not feel awkward about seeing a board certified plastic surgeon for a second or third opinion.

Breast Lifting Necessary? Breast Implant Size?
Thank you for the question and pictures.
The best pictures to evaluate your breasts are with your arms down. In my opinion, these pictures demonstrate breasts that will benefit from breast lifting. I think it is very likely that you will be disappointed if you undergo breast augmentation surgery only.

Lift or No Lift
Lift!
It would be a mistake, I believe, to proceed with an augmentation alone, unless you understand that you will most certainly wind up needing a lift in the near future. If the lowest part of the areola is lower than the breast fold (determined with arms at the side, not elevated) you can expect the breast to appear to be hanging off the implant if no lift is done. Plan A sounds much better to me.
Thanks for your question and for the attached photos. Best wishes.

Breast Lift or No Breast Lift with Implants?
If the areola are in the lower portion of the breast, you will need a lift. If the areola and most of the breast is below your fold, you will need a more extensive lift. Adding an implant will make your cup size greater and breasts larger but will do little to lift truly droopy breasts.

Size of breasts/implants and lifts
Breast implants are just pillows and fill out the breast from behind the base of the breast but do not lift it. Implants are sized by matching the width of the implant to the width of the breast across the center (subtracting the skin) and then choosing a forward profile volume of low, medium, or high in order to go up about 1, 1 1/2 , or 2 cup sizes from what you're starting with.
The need or benefit of a lift is a separate issue but if the nipple-areola is too low relative to the...
