Right Size for my Body - Small BWM, After Natural Look but Large Side of Natural

Hi I had my 1st consult with a surgeon and thought I was a B cup, I went with 210cc & was told id become a small c.I discovered after the consult Im now an Acup - so a 210cc implant will only make me a small B? I have a small BWM of 11cm.I am 101lbs/46kg. 152cm, 5ft. I have been researching and see most girls around my stats go for 250-280 cc & are very happy with large B/small C. Im looking@255cc HP implant but its base width is 11.2 & my BWM is 11cm - is this ok???

Should be OK

If the question is whether a 11.2 cm wide implant will fit a 11.0 cm chest width, the answer is, "Yes." Up to a .5cm difference works just fine. Your difference would be only 0.5 cm. Ask the doctor if you can put a 275 cc implant sizer in a bra without any padding and then put a blouse over this. If you like the look, a 255cc implant should be fine (~20cc is made up by the bra).

How to pick breast implants.

How to pick breast implant sizes and shapes. Article by George J. Beraka, MD Manhattan Plastic Surgeon 1) This is the most common type of question on RealSelf. 2) It is the surgeon's job to pick the right breast implants, not the patient's. Implant selection is really pretty technical. 3) Make sure your surgeon REALLY understands the look you want. Mentioning a cup size is not enough.

After breast implants what do you want to look like

Choosing a number when you are interested in breast implants is like picking a winning lottery number. If most people win with number 255 it sounds like a reasonable bet if you wish to gamble. Otherwise I would suggest you find a look and cup size which is your dream come true, and find a surgeon with the necessary experience to give you the result you are looking for. And a high profile implant natural? Really. Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd

Is breast implant too large, not large enough, or just right?

That is a relatively small discrepancy in breast diameter. As long as the skin pinch is greater than 2 cm, I believe that your desired implant is reasonable.

Forget the cup size and go for the "look"

Cup sizing is not exact and cannot be exactly predicted from an implant. The more important thing in deciding between implants is to communicate to your doctor the "look" you want and then based on your body, have him/her help select the "right" implant to get near to that look.

Breast base width measurements

Dear Mishin, It seems that the bottom of your questioning is will an 11.2 cm diameter implant fit into your 11.0 cm breast base diameter. The measurement of breast base diameter is somewhat imprecise. So, it is highly likely that you could accomodate an 11.2 cm diameter implant. This might also provide some lateral projection or more cleavage to your breast, which might be beneficial. Good luck! see video

Don't Concentrate on Cup Size When Selecting Implants

You really should not concentrate on cup sizes when choosing your implants, since there is a great deal of variation among different bra manufacturers. Nor should you worry about the size implant that other patients who are similar to your size have been pleased with. You should select the size that meets your desires and you will be more likely to obtain a natural look if you choose an implant no larger than your breast width.

Choosing the right implant size for you

I consider two factors when selecting implants for my patients: 1.Dimensional planning 2.Gel Implant Sizing system Dimensional planning – The measurements of your chest wall are taken. Also, the breast dimensions including the height, width, and current dimensions of each breast form the basis of dimensional planning. Based on these measurements, the implant size is recommended.
