Recommended Different Sizes During Different Consultations, How Do I Choose the Right CCs?

I´m 5.1ft, weight 88lbs and have a BWD of 11cm. I am a 32A and would like a small C cup. One PS told me that a range between 280cc and 310cc HP implants would look good on me.

What do you think is better considering my measurements?

Therefore, you may want to consider an implant with a base width larger than... more

Size

I agree that an online response is not the answer. Given your weight and height, I would advise one of my patients to stay more conservative on size and also consider silicone

Choosing Breast Implant Size?

Thank you for the question. There is no way an online consultant with limited information, and without the benefit of viewing your goal pictures can be more helpful to you than the plastic surgeons you have met in person. I would suggest that you select the plastic surgeon who you feel is most likely to be able to achieve your goals ( after you communicate these carefully with him/her).

Implant choices

Choosing the right implants for you requires an exam and a discussion of your goals. Remember surgeons like chefs follow slightly different recipes to achieve a good result.
