After another meeting, I am getting now finally soon 365 cc silicone implants, low height, extra full projection, will be placed over the muscle, not speaking anymore of more volume, I am 5.7 tall, 104 lbs., wearing a 32A bra, very petite build and thin. Is it more a fake look or still natural ? I would like to have a D cup, can I reach this one ? What will be the result for me ? Do you think it would be possible to go over 365 cc ? Thanks in advance.

Over the Muscle Breast Augmentation

It is difficult to determine exact cup size pre-operatively. Every manufacturer produces a variety of bra styles, which may differ in size and shape. Clear communication with your plastic surgeon is important in achieving the desired goals of the patient. I like to communicate with patients with “goal” pictures. During surgery, I use temporary sizers to determine the size/profile that will give the patient the look she is looking for. Trying to predict the size of the... more

Trying to achieve a D cup in a petite woman

A lot of factors go into choosing the size of implants- preop size, body proportion( weight and height), elasticity of skin, expectation of the patient and the experience and aesthetics of the surgeon. In your case I would not suggest that you go beyond a full C, and even for that size your surgeon needs to examine your breasts. Otherwise the look will be unnatural and you may be able to see the outline of the implant. I would also suggets that you go below the muscle to keep it as natural... more

Breast Size

Without pictures or seeing you in person, it is impossible to give you specific advice. Implant choice has to do with your measurements, your skin quality and your expectations. In most cases, smooth silicone, moderate profile plus, under the muscle placements gives the most natural results. Good Luck.

Breast implant size

I am not sure what you mean by low height extra full projection. Projection and height are synonyms for breast augmentation cases..

Implant position

If you have very small breasts, and the implants are placed in front of the muscle, you will not have enough tissue coverage to allow for a natural look. It is better to have implants under the muscle, under any circumstances, because mammogram readings are more accurate, there is less chance for hardness from capsular fibrosis, and the result is more natural and attractive. Also, it may be better to achieve a beautiful, full breast without determining an exact cup size... more

Breast augmentation

It is very hard to choose an exact bra size in the operating room - there is no way to measure it so you can just get close. Placing your implants above the muscle will make your implants look less natural than under the muscle if that is your goal - this also decreases the rate of capsular contracture. Good luck!

This is all wrong!

Patty, I must respectfully disagree with what you and your surgeon have planned. I suspect you have concerns about this that you and your surgeon have not discussed adequately, or you wouldn't be on-line asking these questions. You presently wear a 32A bra and want to go to a D-cup in size. You are tall, thin, "very petite" and are considering silicone implants above the muscle, but want to look natural, and have concerns that 365cc implants may not be big enough to achieve... more

365 gel implant above the muscle

I am not a big fan of "above the muscle". Below the muscle is more natural, better mammograms and less capsule contracture. Make sure the diameter of the implant is close to the diameter of your breast. All the best, Talmage J. Raine MD FACS

Breast Implants and Looking Natural

Hello Patty 123, Have you had this conversation with the plastic surgeron you have seen? If you have, and he hasn't told you that this recipe (large, high profile implant over the mucsle in a lean, small breasted person) will likely cause not only a fake look, but more importantly puts you at risk for extensive rippling, unpredictable tissue stretch (imagine a ball in a sock), implant malposition, and capsular contracture, then you have not being given good information,... more

Petit build over the muscle implants

My suggestion would be to follow your plastic surgeons advice. My personal preference is to perform submuscular implants in the majority of cases as I find the result more natural. Petit build and a small amount of breast tissue with a large D implant will not be as natural in my opinion. I suggest you look on line for similar builds as your and implants above the muscle to decide if they look good to you, and if the size works.
