110 lbs, 22 years, 5ft tall, small waist, bigger hips, currently a B cup, what would be the best size for my body? (Photos)

Hello, thank you for your question. A board certified plastic surgeon will be able to guide you to the correct size of implants. Measurements of the chest wall and breast imprint width as well as knowledge of all breast implant sizes and profiles should make this process easy. Try on a profile bra with various saline and silicone cc sizers your PS recommends under a tailored blouse, tank top, bikini, workout clothes, and other garments you typically wear so that you have the best idea of whether the garments fit as desired with the implant selected. Schedule an email, Skype or in-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for proper evaluation. 

I think you'll look great with a breast implant in the 300-400 cc size range. At our office we always have our patients do sizing with actual silicone breast implants.  Women try them on in a bra to help decide which implant feels best.  We have our patients do this at their initial consultation and again at their pre-operative visit. Looking at photos that our patients bring in also helps us to meet the expectations of each of our breast augmentation patients. We also take measurements of the breasts to help us guide our patients when choosing a sizeThanks for sharing, and best of luck to you!

I would suggest you try on some sizers in the range you want to see what looks good on you. Sizers are usually available at your surgeon’s office. Bring in a stretchy bra and form fitted t-shirt to wear over so you can see how you look with the sizers. Your surgeon will also take some measurements of your body and can recommend a range based on these measurements.

Hello dear!!
Thank you for your question and provided information as well..
Based on your photos, it seems that you have symmetrical breasts for which you wish to add more volume. There are many ways that plastic surgeons perform measurements in order to determine which breast implant size, style and shape will best suit your goals. It is important that you communicate to your board-certified plastic surgeon what are expecting, to make certain that your goals are realistic. It's helpful to show pictures of results you'd like, but please keep in mind that these are other people and your body is different from everybody. In my office, we use a method of sizing with silicone gel forms of known volumes. This is proven to be a very accurate means of determining what size will might be of additional interest to you as well.
Know that the size, profile, and shape of the implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality.  This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon.   
Hope this helps and best of lucks.

The most appropriate implant size for you really depends on the breast size and fullness you desire.  As a general rule, if you pick an implant that is no wider than your present breast diameter, you will look more natural because your own breast tissue will cover the edge of the implant.  So you need to consider the volume (size), the profile (projection), and width of the implant.  That said if you desire to be in the full B size range, I would choose a size in the high 200’s-low 300’s.  If you want to be a moderate to full C size, then choose a mid to high 300cc range.  Anything more would look very top heavy and place you in the D cup range.  I would suggest a mid 300 cc size, but you have to decide the look you are after.

Thank you for your question and photographs.  I think you are starting from an excellent position and should anticipate a nice result.  Breast implant selection is an exciting, but stressful part of the breast augmentation process as there are so many choices. Unfortunately it is impossible to recommend the best implant style, size or shape without an in-person examination that allows for the measurement of key breast parameters, as well as permits an in-depth discussion as to your desired goals and outcome. I would recommend seeing a series of ASPS board certified plastic surgeons to ensure that the implants you decide upon are the right ones to meet your expectations.  It sounds as if it may be wise for you to "try on" several of the implants so that you can have a better visual representation as to what they would look like.  Best wishes! 

Hello and thank you for your question. You are a great candidate for a breast augmentation.  The size, profile, and shape of the implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality.  This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon.  Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.  

Best wishes and good luck.

Dear amandatorres,
breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.

Hello and thank you for the question.  An in-person consultation is needed to give you a useful advice and I would suggest that you discuss this with your plastic surgeon. Many factors including patient's desired breast size, skin envelope (both quality and quantity) and breast width diameter among others are important in selecting the implant size. Implants in the 300 cc should be enough to achieve your goals. In a typical consultation, you try a variety of in-bra sizers and in combination with several other measurements that your surgeon will do, the final implant volume is selected. Use of 'goal pictures' is  also an effective way to communicate your goals with your plastic surgeon. My best advice is that you communicate your goals and aesthetic ideals with your surgeon as clearly as possible and trust your surgeon's skills and abilities to deliver what you are looking for.
Best wishes and good luck,

Thank you for your question and photos. Based on your height and body frame it looks like an implant in the range of 300 to 400 mL would be appropriate for what you want. However, an in person evaluation would be best to narrow the exact size down. Good luck!
