A: You should determine the implant size

By Parham Ganchi, MD - New Jersey Plastic Surgeon

Most of my patients are conservative and do not want to look too big or un-natural. My patients try on the implants (we have sample sizes in the office) and find a size range that they find aesthetically pleasing.

A: It should be the implant size YOU want

By G. Gregory Gallico III, MD - Boston Plastic Surgeon

The size of the implants should be the size you want to have with guidance from your doctor. 200 cc sounds reasonable given your body size. Larger ones might 'scream' implants.

I agree with your doctors recommendations re: size and placement in view of your small frame and activity level. In my experience, placing the implant beneath the muscle could cause visible contratcions and displacemnt during your activities that include contraction of the pectoralis muscle.

A: Implants in Body Builders

By Farbod Esmailian, MD - Orange County Plastic Surgeon

It is a small implant, but it sounds like you are very petite also. It will make a difference yes, but it all depends on what you are looking for. You will likely be one cup larger, perhaps a 32B. You are always best to stay within the confines of your breast and body to avoid issues in the... more

A: Yes, 200 cc breast implants can make a difference

By Michael Law, MD - Raleigh-Durham Plastic Surgeon

If your goal is to look natural, at your height and low body fat percent, small implnts are a must. 200 ccs may or may not be the ideal size for you.
