I know some women with large breasts who have back pain and I do not want back pain. I am 5 foot tall, weigh 115 pounds and am a size 34A breast. I want a small c-cup.
Answer: How do I pick a breast implant size (breast enlargement) without having back pain? You are going into surgery being thoughtful about repercussions of size on long term health, which is commendable. I think that you should start with sizers in the office to determine the size with which you would be happy. Then, the weight of the implants for that size can be determined. In general, back pain tends to occur with women who are a D cup or larger. Your surgeon should be able to steer you to the right size based upon these parameters.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

CONTACT NOW Answer: Breast implant size In my opinion, too many women get implants that are too large. They may like them initially, but with time, the larger they are, the more they sag and become a burden. Given your build, I would probably use around 350 cc implants. That makes most women a mid to full C cup.

Answer: How do I pick a breast implant size (breast enlargement) without having back pain? Thank you for the questions. However, despite good intentions, online consultants will not be able to provide you with meaningful specific advice. Ultimately, in person consultation with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons will be necessary. Careful measurements, dimensional planning, and careful communication will be key.

Answer: Back pain from breast implants Your concern about back pain from large breasts is a valid one. The best way to minimize the chance of having back pain from breast implants, along with minimizing the chance of numerous other possible complications, is to not have too large of an implant placed. It is impossible to give you a breast implant size without some more information. Proper implant selection depends on several factors such as certain breast measurements and skin quality. The best way to sort all of this out is with a consultation and physical examination by a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. I hope that helps

Answer: BBA There is no way to guarantee a particular bra size. Bra sizing varies greatly between bra manufacturers and a C in one bra will be a D in another. What matters more than the assigned bra size is the way the implant looks on you. The best option for your body and aesthetic goals can be determined in a thorough implant sizing session.Implant sizing depends on several factors. One of the most important factors is your breast width. Generally, your surgeon will measure your breast width, and then provide you with a range of implant sizes appropriate for your native breast size. There are more nuances to it than just what I've described, but this approach works for most women.I usually have my patients bring in a large bra and a tight t-shirt to do sizing. I'll then choose 3-4 implants that I feel are appropriate, and have my patients place them in the bra under the tight t-shirt. My patients can then look in the mirror and get a good sense of what they will look like with the provided implant sizes. My patients like this approach and get a great idea of how they will look.By using this technique, your surgeon can outline a range of appropriate implant sizes that will be aesthetically pleasing, and you make the final decision.I hope this helps. Good luck!
