What Size Should I Go to to Have Natural Looking Breasts?

I am 5ft 2, weigh 8 stone 7 pounds. I am a size 10 in some shops and size 8 in others. My breasts are about a size 34AA-34A. Again I am not sure as some shops a 34A bra is too big! I have been told I have broad shoulders so could get away with big size. I think I want a full C cup or D cup, under the muscle. Would this look natural and less chance of rippling. I want to look bigger but natural, I don't want them to look like balls on my chest like Victoria Beckhams did. Thankyou! im 31yr

Implant size for natural looking breast augmentation result

The actual size of a breast implant, measured in cc's, is really not very descriptive of what a breast augmentation will look like, or what the cup size will be. It is all relative to the size of the breast and the size of the patient preoperatively. A tall, broad-shouldered patient with small A-cup breasts may require 450cc implants to achieve a C-cup breast volume postoperatively, while a shorter patient with medium B-cup breasts may only need a 250cc implant to achieve a C-cup breast... more

"Natural" looking breast augmentation

Basically, the best looking natural result you can get is to use a moderate profile (now called classic) implant under the muscle with the base width of the implant chosen to best suit your chest wall base width. If you are wide, this will not be a small implant so you will get good volume but by staying away from the higher profile implants (mod +, HP), you will avoid the unnatural look.

Natural appearance after breast augmentation

If you truly want natural looking breasts, most women have somewhere between a B and a C cup. See a plastic surgeon and get sized for an implant that will place you in this size range. If your frame can carry a D, then that is okay too. The chance of rippling depends on how much of your own tissue you have padding the implants. Good luck.

Implant choices

WIthout an exam it is hard to say what would look right for you. This decision is really based upon your goals, and your overall anatomy. I will say usually the smaller you go the more natural they will look.

Selecting breast implants for a natural look

Some physical descriptions alone without a multitude of other information including a physical exam will not allow an answer on the implant size that would be most appropriate for you. Many factors play a role in reaching this determination. You should see a reputable plastic surgeon in your area who could then talk with you, examine you and help you arrive at some reasonable possibilities.

Natural Breast Augmentation

Achieving a natural appearance after breast augmentation is often the goal of my patients. With this goal in mind, I will take extensive breast measurements which will assist me in selecting an implant that both meets the patients goals while fitting the patient's chest wall dimensions. Submuscular (under the muscle) placement of an implant is often my choice when I am trying to 'hide' the implant in slender patients. Modern implants come in various widths as well as projection,... more

Natural Appearance

There are many factors that affect the look of your breast with an augmentation procedure. We have written extensively on this in our blog. Please feel free to read about this at schneidercentre.com.

"Natural" Breast Implants

Achieving a natural appearance after breast augmentation is based on several several factors. The most important of these is to choose implants sizes based on your body measurement and on how much and how tight your current breast tissue is. Going beyond your tissue parameters will yield "unnatural" results. This happen more often the "bigger" you go. It's important to communicate your desires with your plastic surgeon and show what you... more

Implant Size for Natural Lookin Breasts

The best way to approach this is to have your breast width measured by a plastic surgeon who can offer the size range of implants that would fit for you. Also, bring some pictures of what size you desire.

"stone" equals 14 lbs?

Had to look up the measurement :-). You seem to have a short frame but the size 8-10 and "broad shoulders" suggest that you would be able to "carry" a relatively "natural" appearing full C-D cup without a "balls on the chest" appearance. The determining factors are your soft tissue layer, your proportion, the volume, profile and positioning of the implants chosen, and hopefully not developing capsular contracture which can lead to a ball on the chest appearance even with the best planning... more

Natural Look

'Natural' means different things to different people. It's important that you review your desires with your doctor so you're confident he understands you. By far the biggest source of disappointment I find among patients isn't because they chose a bad surgeon...but rather because things weren't communicated properly. Implants come in many shapes and sizes and selecting what's right for you is generally easy if your doctor is experienced. If... more

Natural Looking Breasts after Breast Augmentation?

Thank you for the question. It will be very important for you to communicate your goals carefully with your plastic surgeon. In my practice I find the use of goal pictures to be very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C cup” or "fake looking" or "top heavy" means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra;... more
