Surgery is in 2 Weeks and Still Unsure of the Implant Size.

I'm 38 years old Asian female. 5'7" tall, 124 lbs with small frame. According to my PS. By measurment, my breasts are sagging yet from the looking at them. They are not at all. After trying on few implants. First pick was 375cc but in the final, I'm going with 400cc saline high profile. My PS is going to fill it upto 430cc to eliminate any possible wrinkle on the skin when bending down. I'm little concern. I don't want to look top heavy or breats to appear fake?

5 ft 4 in to 5 ft 7 in 400-449cc 110-129 lbs implant size

Doesn't want breast implants to look fake

I think the best approach in choosing implant size is to try on sizers as apparently you have done. Althought not perfect, it gives you the best idea of what an implant volume added to your current breast volume will look like in terms of eventual breast mound size. I am a little concerned that the implant volume planned (430cc) is 55cc larger than the one you chose. Saline high profile implants are a little rounder and more prominent in contour, which in some patients are... more

Breast implant sizing

The more breast surgery I do the more I realize that there is no correlation between the size of implant and resulting cup size. This may have to do with several factors including: the amount of breast volume the patient starts with, the shape of the patient's chest wall (concave or convex), the type and model of breast implant selected (saiine/silicone and low/moderate/high profile), bra manufacturer variance in cup sizes, the degree of filling... more

Unsure of breast implant size, avoid fake and top heavy look

I would consider trying on sizers again or getting sotware imaging done to get the result that you want. Breast implants come in different volumes and profiles, so make sure that you talk to your plastic surgeon about your personal measurements, and what profile fits your body the best. You want to be confident before you have surgery in choosing the right breast implant volume, type, and profile. You're still probably going to be nervous about having surgery, but... more

My surgery is in two weeks and I'm still unsure about the implant size.

To give you a valid answer we need more information. I make my size recommendation to patients based on the measurement of their chest and breast dimensions. The thickness and elasticity of the skin is very important. A picture would have been of some help. Your BMI is 19.4. I am guessing you don't have a lot of fat under your skin. The. We also don't know the size of your breast now. In general for a patient like yourself, the larger you go the more artificial you look. more

Consider Imaging

This is a difficult question to answer without photos or an exam. However, there are a few questions that I have that you might discuss with your surgeon: 1. If you are worried about rippling, why saline and not silicone? Overfilled saline implants can be firm. Rippling is certainly less with silicone implants 2. Are you going above or below the muscle? Below the muscle decreases rippling, and can give a more natural look. 3. I have found "trying on" implants relatively... more

Breast augmentation and implant size selection

You are asking very good questions and it is very important that you feel comfortable with your decision and your plastic surgeons advise in selecting an implant. Even though you provide us with information, each person is so unique, it is impossible to give you advise through this type of forum. The best thing for you to do is get one or two more opinions by seeking additional consultations from other plastic surgeons.
