What is an Appropriate Size for my Petite Frame?

I am 26 y/o and having BA w/ Lift on May 9th.I am 4'11" & weigh 90-95 lbs.I am currently a 32B.I carry weight in my breasts and have had a lot of weight fluctuations in the past 10yrs making my breasts very droopy.My main priority is the lift and then some added size.I explained to my surgeon that I want high, perky, "fake" looking breasts, but that I don't want them huge.Given that I have a good amount of breast tissue, he suggested 300cc silicone.Will this be overwhelming for my petite frame?

Four steps to picking the right breast implant size.

What is an Appropriate Size for my Petite Frame?

Not a question that can be answered very well without good quality photos, neck to navel, front and side. But in general as small asyou are I would think 300cc would be the maximum and if you have a decent amount of breast tissue, even smaller implants would look good.

This answer really requires a physical examination, including what your starting breast size is, and your chest circumference.

You should try on some implant sizers to get a better idea of the final result and to best communicate your goals. more
