What Size Breast Implants Are You Ladies Getting if You Are Around 5 Feet Tall? (photo)

I'm a 36B and 5'1" and 140lbs. I want a full c cup but don't want to be too busty. I like the 350cc but my doc said I should go up to a 400cc under muscle. He said to also bring a pic of what I want to look like and he will start off with the 400cc and work his way down to want I want to look like. I think 400cc will be too big.

What Size Breast Implants Are You Ladies Getting if You Are Around 5 Feet Tall?

Thanks for the posted photo. I have no issue with the 400 cc implant but you could use the 375 cc as a compromise. But remember "I wish I would have gone bigger!" issue. BTW you do realize you appear to have an umbilical hernia.

Implant sizing.

Unfortunately, implant sizing remains one of the more difficult issuse in breast augmentation. At our office, we have recently started using a sizing system by Mentor. This system allows a woman to place different sized implants within her bra to give a relatively accurate assessment of what volume would work best for her.

Breast Implant Size Recommendation

In my opinion, I think smaller is always better from a long term perspective. However, I never choose size for my patients. I use VECTRA for 3D imaging and sizers to help my patients visualize what they will look like post operatively.

Sizing

If you are really scared about choosing the correct implant for your body, I would recommend you find a surgeon who uses sizers. These are actually implants that the surgeon has which will fit into your bra and help you decide what looks best. This is not an exact science but is helpful in cases like yours.

What size implants

Choosing the size of implants is always difficult as it is impossible to know exactly what the result (or any result for that matter) will be. I find that placing an implant in your bra and then putting a t-shirt or other relatively tight fitting top on over it gives the best indication of what you will look like after surgery and the swelling has gone down. Even so, this is just a guesstimate and not a guarantee. If you feel 400 cc will be too big for you and your surgeon is insisting on... more

Best Breast Implants for Me?

Thank you for the question and picture. I would suggest that you do the following: Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining which operation and/or breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found... more

Breast Implant Size

Breast Implant size really depends on what your expectations are. Also, this has to be consistent with your anatomy, existing breast size, measurements, etc. Without all of these factors, it is impossible to choose implant size. Good luck.
