Are 100cc implants worth it for a small woman?

I agree with Dr. Myers. Beautiful breasts are not defined by volume. Position, skin quality, symmetry, and shape are all attributes that contribute to having youthful/beautiful breasts. Bigger is not always better. I only hope she has not been told that implants will lift her breasts. Let me tell you they won't. They never do! If her breasts have gone 'south', then more than likely she also needs a lift. Lifts can now be accomplished without the dreaded (and very visible) vertical scar or the need for implants. Please look into the Mini Ultimate Breast Lift which provides maximum lift without implants and no vertical scar.As an active young woman, it may just be what she is looking for. Implants can be painful for small framed women like your wife.I hope this helps.Kind regards,Dr. H

It's hard to give you an exact answer without a physical exam, but I have placed small implants before with nice results.  You won't see much of a "lift," but the breast size will go up slightly.  Good luck!Dr. SchreiberBaltimore plastic surgeon

If the breasts have "gone south" I suspect "she" needs a breast lift, with or without implants.  Have her try on a sizer at the PS office because 100 cc will likely not prove to be what she really wants.  Best of luck.

In my opinion, 100 cc implants are not large enough to make a substantial enough difference to justify performing the surgery. If there is ptosis (droopiness) after having children, a lift may be needed as well. You may want to consider an in-office second opinion with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss her particular case before proceeding. Best of luck.

I would have to say 100cc is probably not worth it, the biggest complaint we here as plastic surgeons following up with patients is they wish they went bigger.

The best person to decide about the size of their breasts is the patient herself. Although it is nice to have people give support and advice, ultimately the patient is the one that needs to FEEL good about the decision. Notice I didn't say anything about how the patient looks.  Breast augmentation is not about making them look different, it is more about helping the patient FEEL good about how they look.I operate on triathletes, yoga instructors, tennis players, rock climbers and other very active people and for the most part the larger the implant the larger the adjustment they will have to make and potentially the bigger the risk of interfering with their hobbies.You can read more about the process I have my patients go through in my free breast augmentation planner at aBetterBreast.comGood luck.

100 cc implants are extremely small and would probably not make a significant difference. If the breasts sag, they may need a lift. Best to be seen in person.

First, my general impression is that 100cc implants are very small and would make very little difference in this patient.BUT,What I tell patients is that we are going for a "look" and not a size. I use the Mentor implant sizing system, the Vectra 3D imaging system and lots of time for consultation to chose the best size and style of implants. This results in what is appropriate for each individual patient.

Thank you for your question. I tell all of my patients “Dimensions and proportions are the determinants of a beautiful breast; not volume.” I recommend that you make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your breast augmentation options based on breast measurements and tissue dynamics.

Thank you for your question.  Of the breasts have gone South after pregnancy she may need a breast lift.Honestly in my experience of 31 years I don't believe I have ever use a 100 cc implant.  There may be a patient in-home a 100 cc implant may look perfectly normal.  Generally speaking breast shape and conforming to the natural body size and shape is most important and certainly more important than volume.In a very small person with tiny breasts a 100 cc implants certainly can improve the shape.  However in my experience I find at 200 cc is required in most patients to create a significant change in appearance.
