What Size of Implant? Would Like to Go With Silicone Cohesive Gel?

I am 40 yrs old, 5'2" 110 lbs, asian. Never had children. I have been small-framed my whole life. The reason why I joined this community is to get some helpful tips from ppl who have gone through BA. I wear a 34a or a small 34b depending on the bra, but hardly fill them. I would like to go with silicone cohesive get implant, but I have no idea how big I should go with. I don't want to look too big or disproportionate as I am very flat and thin chested. Thinking maybe 300-375cc? Thanks.

What Size of Implant?

375 cc may be a bit large on your frame given your stated goals. You will get a better answer by seeing a plastic surgeon in consultation. You can try the implants on and see (about) how they might look after surgery in terms of size, and decide, with your surgeon, what will work best to reach your goals. Thanks for the question, best wishes.

Appropriate breast implant sizing can only be accomplished during your consultation.

General comments from other patients can be helpful but often they can lead to confusion. Your consultation with a Plastic Surgeon should include a discussion of your goals. However, your anatomy and particularly your breast tissue specifics will guide the best choice of implants, size and shape as well as the best surgical approach. Without much of your own breast tissue to cover the details of a breast implant, a cohesive silicone gel implant placed into a sub-pectoral muscle location is... more
