Breast implant sizing

It is very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon. 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 that the use of words such as “natural” or “C cup” or "fake looking" means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired... more

Breast Implant Size

Without photos or an examination, it is hard to say what would be right for you. Everyone's body anatomy is different and a 125 cc implant in you will look very different in someone else. For this reason, it's best to consult with several surgeons and make a decision that both you and your surgeon are comfortable with.

Breast size after augmentation

Don't get caught up in the # of cc's. You are talking a 60cc difference here which is 12 teaspoons. In the whole picture of your appearance after breast augmentation, it probably doesn't make much difference. Keep in mind, that you are petite, larger implants in your tiny frame will have more complications. Expect surrounding tissue thinning from the pressure of the implant, risks for sagging over time, and rippling (despite the High Profile silicone prosthesis) related... more

Size Question Regarding Breast Implants

Try an expander implant that is 50/50 silicone and saline so you can adjust the size after the operation. Otherwise I would guess a 450 cc +/- silicone could work. But you failed to post a photo. So it is just a guess.

Breast Implant Sizing

You cannot absolutely relate changes in cup size to implant volumes. A 34C cup size is the same volume as a 36B. Cup sizes also vary widely among manufacturers. Rather than fixating on cup size, you should try on implants to see which is the one for which you are looking.

First if your hcest wall can not support the implants width, they may not be the right one for you. Try them on and see what you like.

Breast Implant Sizes

The choice of implant needs to be individualized for each patient. There is no generic correlation between implant size and resultant cup size for patients since every patient is different in terms of anatomy, chest diameter, etc. All of these issues can be determined during your consultation. Good luck.

How to pick breast implant sizes

How to pick breast implant sizes Answer by George J. Beraka, MD Manhattan Plastic Surgeon 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 breasts you like. 4) Then your surgeon has to tell you if... more

Deciding breast implant size

Breast size is a very personal decision that only you can make. No one, no matter how close to you really knows what breast size the real 'you' should be. It takes some homework and soul searching though most will know by instinct after trial what the correct look should be. Work with photos, buy the bra or clothing you hope to fill out and wear, and communicate this with your surgeon. The surgeon will select the implant correct for your look so make certain they are connected... more

The perfect sized breast implant.

I would recommend trying sizers on and assessing the difference in consultation with a plastic surgeon. Please take into account that implants need to be approximately 20% larger than the sizers in the submuscular position. Try the fun tool in the link below. see video
