What Size Breast Implant Will Look Natural on a Very Slim Woman?

Hi! I'm 26 years old, 5'5'' and 101 lbs. I have always been very slim and currently wear a 32A or 32B bra. I'd like to get breast augmentation surgery. However it is very important to me to have my breast shape and size still look as natural as possible. My chest measurement below my breast is 27.4'' and above the breast is 30''. What size implants will give me a fuller chest while still looking natural? (No top-heavy look or rounded, obvious breast implant shape).

How to choose the correct size breast implant

The most important question for women who are considering breast augmentation in Los Angeles is- What size breast impant should I choose. It is important to choose a correct size breast implant that fits your body and make you look porportionate. Some Beverly Hills plastic surgeons recommend measuring the chest, or trying out different size bags of rice in their bras. Personally, I feel that it is most useful to have my patients actually try on different size breast implants in our office.... more

Breast Implants - What Size?

HI KellyCali in West Hollywood, CA, Natural is a funny word - if you want them to be really natural, just keep them the way they are! Actually, the smaller the implant the more natural it will look, but what most people want is to be large enough to achieve a desired size without looking so large as to be obvious from a block away. Even that, though, is open to a lot of interpretation, and there are geographical variations around the country. In the end, you need to pick a... more

Natural look

Hello Kelly, The smaller the implant the more likely you will have a natural look. But be careful when you ask for natural look since this is very subjective; what might be natural to others might not be natural to you. The best way to make sure you will get a natural look is to look at the surgeon's before/after photos and you decide if the work is natural and then find someone who looks like you and see if the same size implant will work for you. more

Which implant?

Kelly, my practice is based in New York so patients choose to be a bit more conservative than those in California. It is hard to use the word "natural" in relation to choosing an implant. The appearance of your breasts at this time is "natural." I do agree with my colleagues above that the smaller the implant the more it would be suited to your frame.

A medium size breast implant always looks best.

A medium size breast implant always looks best. If you go too large on a small or thin frame, it will be obvious that you have implants. I have the patient bring in a bra of the cup size she wishes to be about two weeks before the surgery, and we try on implants - bigger and bigger - until she sees what she like. We then talk about the shape of the breast and chest if that size were used. So, I can't give you an exact size, but you probably want to stay short of 300 cc to stay... more

Choosing THE IDEAL Breast Implant for a Thin Woman

Your question is one of the commonest questions asked on this forum and while you gave a lot of measurements, none can substitute for a physical examination and a review of which results you consider "natural". "Natural" is often substituted for "attractive" but what may be natural in Los Angeles, may be regarded us unattractive in Nashville, Memphis or the deep South. The most attractive breast augmentation results are created by picking an implant... more

What Size Breast Implant Will Look Natural on a Very Slim Woman?

As most experts have written, it is a very personal choice. Also over the net hard to advise without even a photo posted. My guess would be 250 to 300 cc HP.

How to pick breast implants.

How to pick breast implant sizes 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. Show your surgeon pictures of breasts you like. 4) Then your surgeon has to tell you if your chosen look is realistic for... more

Breast size and look is a very personal choice

We get your question very frequently, and as always, only you know how you should look. The breast implant for a natural breast is one with a moderate profile and diameter that fits the breast. The implant should fit with the breast hand in glove, and they should move and feel as one. Work with trial bras, buy the bra you wish to wear, and review photos of what you think is the best for you. Everyone has a idea of how you should look, only you know for sure. Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd more

What Size Breast Implant Will Look Natural on a Very Slim Woman?

Dear KellyCali, What size breast implant to choose is a very personal decision and depends on a number of factors including your desired shape and size, the dimensions and quality of your breast tissue and chest wall, and your sense of aesthetics. I would look at before and after photo galleries to find patients with a similar build who have outcomes that you find pleasing and bring these photos to your surgeon. While every person is different and your results may be different, it... more

Breast implant size in a petite woman

Based on your frame, I would recommend an implant that is suited to your measurements, somewhere in the 300 cc range. I would certainly place the implants under the pectoral muscle as this will give a more natural look. I use 3D imaging in my practice which simulates how you will look with different sized implants in place. This technology makes it easier to visualize which implant looks best on your body. It only takes a few minutes to perform and it really helps take the... more
