Not Sure What Size Implants? (photo)

Recently had my first consultation and not sure what size implants would be best. I am a saggy 34D at the moment, getting a lift and implants. Tried on 340cc and thought they looked ok? I have a very flat chest so want them to have fullness and I am tall with broad shoulders so would like them big enough for my build/frame. I don't want them to look huge or fake! Thanks!

What size of Breast Implant should I choose?

I have found that coming to a decision about breast implant size is one of the most difficult things to achieve. There are not only a number variables related to implant size, body size and structure, existing breast size and shape, but also variables related to one's perception of "size." I have found that what some patent's perceive as a C cup, others might perceive to be a D cup. It is therefore helpful to review many photographs of other patients... more

Choosing the size of implants

Based on your description and photographs, a breast lift and augmentation are indicated. While size is the element that most patients and families focus on, it is not the most important factor in creating a beautiful natural looking result. The appropriate size can be best decided upon after physical examination and a more detailed review of your objectives, lifestyle, and lifestage.

Size is NOT the most important factor

From your photographs, your breasts are too low. You need a lift more than implants. Three hundred forty cc implants will increase 2 cup sizes. You will go from a 34 D to a 34 DDD. At 34 DDD, you will have difficulty finding clothing and bras that fit. There is a new technique that lifts the breast without vertical or inframammry scars. The entire procedure can be done through a single incision around the areola that will lift the nipples, lift the breast... more

Choosing implants

Yes, based upon your photos it looks like you need a lift. As for the right implant, it is difficult to say without a proper evaluation in person.

Implant sizing

I help my patients select the correct size with two methods: 1. Dimensional planning and 2. A 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. This will give you a unique breast implant that is suited for your body frame.... more

Not Sure What Size Implants?

Based on the 2 posted photos you need a lift + implants. But as to size I believe 340 cc could be fine. Only an in person evaluation will allow for a more definitive answer.

Best Breast Implants for Me?

Thank you for the question and pictures I would suggest that you do the following: 1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you're looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work. 2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This if communication will be critical... more

You probably don't need breast lift.

Hi. I hope you find this article useful. This is the way to decide on best implant size. 340 cc's is in the right range. 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... more

Implant size with a lift

You state that you are already a D cup, but are saggy. A lift alone will reposition your breast tissue to a normal level, and you will still be a D cup. If you put in an implant of over 300 cc, you will probably end up with an E cup or more. Is this what you want?

Implant size

I tell patients that I will guide them into the right neighborhood but they are the ones to pick out the specific house. The 340 cc implant is in the right neighborhood. A bit above or below will not make a big difference and when that is the case I usually recommend going with the larger size. The one caveat is that the larger the implants the more drooping will occur later on.
