Needing to Know What Size Implants to Get to Fix Asymmetry? (photo)

I am 5'1" about 119lbs. My breast are very asymmetrical and have been that way since I was born. I want to still look natural but want to finally fill out a 34-36A bra. I was told to go to 300cc's but am afraid of looking like Pamela Anderson due to my tiny frame. I also don't want them in the way when I workout, but I want to look nice in my clothes too. My surgery is scheduled for Tuesday Nov 13th, 2012 so I need advice soon :) Thanks for any help offered. Blessings!

Size asymmetry is common and that is why different implant volumes are frequently used.

Congrats. You obviously keep in great physical condition. It is not unusual for one breast to be bigger than the other. The plastic surgeon uses a larger volume on the smaller side, so you can expect to have implants of different volumes, which is quite common. Did you mean A bra or C bra? I would think a small or moderate C cup would be your objective. I caution women not to go smaller than a C cup because they will likely wish they had gone bigger later on... more

Size IS the most Important Decision

If you are still unsure about your size (which it sounds like you obviously are), then be very very vocal about this with your plastic surgeon and his/her office staff. One thing I know for sure, after 17 years and thousands of breast implants, is that size does matter. It matters a lot. If you don’t get the size right, you probably won’t be too happy with the outcome of the procedure. In fact, I advocate that women who choose to have breast augmentation choose the best size implant... more

Best Breast Implant Size for Me?

I think you will be best off spending additional time with your plastic surgeon communicating your goals. As you can imagine, without direct examination and a full communication of your goals, online consultants cannot be helpful in providing specific advice. The best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery is:  1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification,... more

Volume Asymmetry Corrections

Volume problems in breast augmentation are not trivial issues, and simply increasing the volume of one implant may not be the best solution to the problem. Small differences in volume of 50 cc or less can be managed this way. Often differences greater than this need to have a different management or accept some degree of size mismatch or shape mismatch.

What size?

Thanks for your question. I would say the size mentioned are within the ballpark to achieve a natural augmentation. The bigger you go, then the less likely it will look natural, specially with your tiny anatomy. Consider all your size options. Remember that, the final cup is better determined after performing an examination and seeing your natural shape and current breast volume. Using a volume sizing system (VSS) will help you feel more comfortable deciding from your choices. ... more

Preoperative Consultation

Communication between patients and their Plastic Surgeons is critical to ensuring a good, rewarding experience. I would immediately schedule another consultation with your surgeon to go through a sizing protocol with measurements, sizers placed inside a bra beneath a tight shirt and even an imaging program (if they use one) to determine the optimal implants for you. Using different sized implants is common to correct asymmetries and 300 cc's doesn't sound too big for you (at... more

Asymmetry

The profile of the implant will determine your look and not necessarily the volume. Most if not all women have preexisting asymmetry.

Sorry can not answer with out frontal nude posted photos. Better yet seek in person evaluations to determine what you need.

Beast Augmentation To Fix Asymmetry

Hello. Thank you for sharing your photo. Unfortunately without a physical consultation it is not possible to provide you with a solid advise tailored to fit your goals. With that perspective, discussing a potential lift at this point may not be feasible. However, it is common to resolve a natural breast asymmetry by choosing different sizes of implants where the smaller breast will accommodate the larger implant . That being said, please remember that commendable results... more

What Size Implants to Get to Fix Asymmetry?

Unfortunately, the photo submitted is not really of any help. I couldn't even say from the photo that there is asymmetry. I don't know if it is merely a size difference or a difference in shape and nipple/areolar position. If the sizes are different, your surgeon should be considering different sized implants unless the size difference is trivial. 300 cc will probably increase your size by more than one cup size. Thanks for your question, best wishes.
