What is the Optimum Implant Size for Me?
I am 20&I've been researching&longing for a breast augmentation for 8 years. I am 5'6" & slim (34" around my butt, 31" hips, 24" waist&27" rib cage directly below my breasts,measurement of 31"). My main goal is to create an hourglass effect. My butt is quite large for my wirey frame&I would like my breasts to even that out, ideally to add 3-4" to my bust measurement. L base to nipple 2.75 and R base to nipple is 3. Both my breasts have a base of 4&nipple to clavicle is 7, nipple to nipple is 7.5

Trying on implants would be very helpful
Hello,
Thank you for the question. There are a handful of methods to arrive at the ideal breast implant size for you including your starting and desired cup size, breast width measurement, and trying on implants. Ideally, all of these would be used. Trying on breast implants in a sports bra in your plastic surgeons office will allow you to get an idea of how the implants will balance out your body proportions.
All the best,
Dr Remus Repta

I would advise you to start with a visit to a board certified plastic surgeon for an evaluation and examination with sizing

Determining Implant Size
Unfortunately, you have not told us your bra size. At size 32 or 34 each 100 cc of implant will correspond to 1 cup size change. At size 36 or 38 each 200 cc of implant will correspond to 1 cup size change. From this, you can calculate the size you need to achieve your desired goal. You can try on different size bras to find the size that satisfies your needs and then choose the implant.
Best Wishes,
Gary Horndeski, M.D.

What size implants
The best thing to do for starters is to become educated on how implant sizes work. Check several web sites and look at before and after photos that tell you the size implants used in those cases. Then go on one or more consults and look at the surgeon's cases. Find some women similar to you and ask what size implants were used. This way you will become comfortable choosing the implants that are right for you! Simple, huh?

What is the best size to achieve an hourglass shape
You mention that you are slim and you have a small chest and waist circumference. You mention your rear end size but not your thighs. So, is your body pear shaped? Do you have long legs or short? Generally, going with a little larger breast size will provide more of an hourglass shape and high profile implants help to achieve this for someone with a narrower breast diameter. The moderate-plus may also work is you have some breast tissue. Measurements help but at the end of the day, it...

Optimum Implant Size
A starting cup size and goal cup size would be helpful as well as a measurement of chest wall width. In general one cup size in a thinner person make take 200 cc. If you are an A cup now, a 400 cc implant will make you a C. Once you have an idea of volume goals, the profile of the implant can be decided as well. The profile of the implant can also change the projection as well. Find the board certified plastic surgeon with the BEST credentials...

Breast Implant Size
The actual size of a breast implant, measured in cc's, is really not very descriptive of what a breast augmentation will look like, or what the cup size will be. It is all relative to the size of the breast and the size of the patient preoperatively. A tall, broad-shouldered patient with small A-cup breasts may require 450cc implants to achieve a C-cup breast volume postoperatively, while a shorter patient with medium B-cup breasts may only need a 250cc implant to achieve a C-cup breast...
