Petite Girl with 400cc, Am I a Candidate? (photo)

I'm 5'5" 100-lbs, with a 27" in diameter rib cage near the breast line. I'm looking to achieve a LARGE size, and I do not necessarily need them to match my body. I'm in an adult business where very large breasts will increase my earning potential. After checking out info on the internet, medium profile round 400cc silicone with a lift is what I think I need, can any doctors help guide me from the specs I presented with the pics? Thanks!

Breast Implants on a Petite Frame

Even though I prefer the moderate profile more, when I have patients that are small framed and want large breasts, I find the high profile pleases them more since they are not interested in a natural look. I think 400cc or even a little more would work for you but be careful about going too large. Even though it may seem appropriate for you now, the day will come when you may want to go smaller and the bigger you start out, the harder it is to get a good smaller result down the road. And BTW... more

Petite with large implants

For your specific need, you will want to go high profie on projection. I do not think a medium profile implant will accomplish what you want without being too wide. I hope this helps.

Wants very large, fake looking breasts

Given that you are petite, narrow, want very large and fake appearing breasts and work in the adult industry, you would want a maximal volume for your frame. The way to accomplish this is with a high or very high profile silicone implant. A moderate profile one will not allow you to obtain the apparent great projection that you desire. To recommend the exact appropriate volume for you based solely on photos without an examination is pure speculation. You should see one or more board... more

Breast Augmentation and large implants

Hello Ms. Sexton, Sometimes things that seem like a good idea end up being a very bad idea. You have a very narrow chestwall and minimal subcutaneous tissue (fat or muscle). Additionally, your breasts have what appears to be enough ptosis (sagging) that requires a breast lift. You are a disaster waiting to happen. I see many women like you after the fact, who went down that road in the adult industry, thinking 'all they want is big, and I'll be busy... more

Petite patient - 400cc ?

Based on the information you provided in addition to your photo, a 400cc implant should provide an ample increase in volume yet not stress the tissues too much based on your small frame, however the actual consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon will be best to determine the procedure / implant size that will help you obtain the result you desire. As you mentioned, you may need some form of a breast lift. With consideration to your profession, limiting the visible... more

Base the size on base width

Most of the time you can get a very good breast augmentation result by measuring certain things but the base width is the most important measurement. Depending on the width of each of your breast you can determine which breast will fit in the space and look reasonable. It can be a high profile or mid range profile implant depending on your measurements. Most likely a 400 cc silicone implant would fit just fine,

If I am a petitie girl, am I a candidate for 400cc implants?

The best way to decide upon the proper implant size to use in order to achieve large breast is by physical examination. Having said that, by examinining your photos it appears that you are, indeed, petite with a narrow chest and some sagging. Although you want to be large, even if the breasts are not proportional to your body beacause you are in the adult business, nevertheless the result should be attractive and be associate d with minimal complications. You should be checked by at least 2... more

Breast augmentation -getting it right the first time

400cc should not be a problem and is probably not too big but there are other issues that need to be accounted for when planning your surgery. Getting implants that are slightly smaller in diameter than your breast base width is as important as picking a volume size of implant. Specific issues for you are you are very lean so you have a greater risk of visible rippling if the implants are placed above the muscle. Although your nipples point forward the nipple complexes and the majority of... more

Are 400cc Implants Right for Me?

In a thin patient with a narrow chest, large implants are likely to cause problems in the long run, possibly requiring more surgery (and more costs) and an unpleasant appearance (which may decrease the earning potential in an adult business). So rather than pick an implant based on size, have a good discussion with 1 or 2 Board Certified plastic surgeons who can examine and measure you, give you guidance on addressing your desires and offer realist and long lasting results. more

Breast Implant Size

It is impossible to know from just looking at a picture what result you will get with a certain implant. From just looking at your picture however I do not think a 400cc implant would be too big for what you are wanting. You need to see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to have measurements done to see what will fit correctly on your chest wall. You will most likely need a high profile implant since you wish to go rather large. I agree that you will probably need a... more

IS 400CC IMPLANTS LARGE ENOUGH?

Hello!, looking at you shoulder width , you will definately end up past or within a C/D. IF you are unsure ask your surgeon!. Look at picyures on the interent of your height and weight on other wome. ALso, asdjustable breast implants may be an option if you still are unsure, adjustable breast implants may be the way to go to allow you to adjust after surgery once swelling has gone don

Will 400 cc implants achieve my goal

The most important for a natural look is the diameter of your breasts. This should be measured by your surgeon. I would suggest you look on line for photos of post operative results you like on women who start with about your volume. I think that a lift is necessary. I think a slightly smaller implant may give you fullness and a more natural result however.

Breast Implant Size?

Thank you for the question and picture. Although difficult to know without examination, measurements, and viewing your “goal” pictures, I think you will likely achieve a nice results with implant size and type (a silicone gel) that you described. It will be very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon. in my practice I find the use of goal pictures to be very helpful. in your case you could use your own before breast-feeding pictures... more

400 cc should work for you

It is hard with just a photo to tell if you are a candidate or not for the 400 cc implants. The average implant placed in orange county is probably about 400 cc, so I would bet it would be fine. About the biggest implants that I would probably use in your case (once measurements are done) would probably be about 500 cc. But you need to also look at the width of your breast and the width of your chest, as well as the "profile" of the implant you are wanting to put... more
