Small Frame Not Even a 34A Wants to Be a 34B?

Hi, I am 36 yrs old and don't even fill a 34A bra. I measure 5'3" and weigh 115 lbs. I went to a plastic surgeon for a recommendation and he recommends 250cc saline implants filled at 275cc installed behind the muscle. Would that give me a 34B? I don't want a drastic change but I want breasts!!!

Getting sized for breast implants is much more involved than it seems at first thought.

Thank you for your question and the photos. Getting sized for breast implants is much more involved than it seems at first thought. It requires a full consultation with detailed questions to see exactly what your goals are, short and long term. It also requires precise measurements of your current breast dimensions, the dimensions of your chest wall, as well as preoperative photography, standard or 3D imaging.

Breast Augmentation for small breasted women

I see many small breasted women looking for a natural looking result from breast augmentation. Obviously, a given implant volume and diameter that works well for a small-framed patient that is 5'3" will be inadequate for a large-framed patient that is 5'10". Careful evaluation of all of these issues is necessary if the ultimate goal of the surgery is a natural-appearing breast augmentation. Take a look and many, many before and after photos. You should be able... more

Desiring a small B cup

From your description there is no way to tell you more without an exam or photo. However, if you are small with A cup breasts, the concern from the plan is the use of saline implants as you will likely show visible rippling through the skin and these tend to look more "fake" than the silicone counterpart. I would reconsider the implant choice and discuss further the plan with your surgeon. Knowing the end result or cup size before surgery is impossible. You should see a... more

Implant choice

Without examining you in person, it is difficult to say what would be best for you, but the implants you chose may be make you a bit larger than you want. Perform a "baggy test" to see what you like.

Implant size for BA

Sounds about right. Implants come in different dimensions so the exact style will depend on additional measurements of your chest and the general appearance of how you want the breasts to look. An experienced Plastic surgeon should be able to help you easily. it sounds like you have very realistic goals.

Best Breast Implant for Me?

Thank you for the question. Although it is not possible to give you precise advice without direct examination and a full communication of your goals, the breast implant size you mention sounds like an appropriate implant ( generally speaking) for your body type and goals. You should also educate yourself about the pros/cons of saline versus silicone breast implants. I would also suggest that you communicate your goals clearly with your plastic surgeon ( I prefer the use of goal... more
