5ft, 100lbs, 32A - does 200cc fit my body right? Trying to get more fullness & a little bigger (Photos)

At size 32, each 100 cc of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. 200 cc implants will take you up 2 cup sizes to a C. The larger the implant the more weight is put on the skin envelope and the load.

Best Wishes,

Thank you for your inquiry! We, here at Mays Plastic Surgery, would like to sit down with you to discuss your concerns. Determine a size is a very personal choice. Try on different tops to see how you look and feel in your clothes would be a good start. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to help you reach your goals.

Hello and thank you for your question. Honestly, a formal in-person evaluation would be needed to determine the best treatment. There are several reasons for this:
1) Bra sizes vary based on the clothing store (for example, Victoria's Secret tends to upsize everyone by a whole cup size)
2) Most women do not wear the proper exact fitting bra size for their bodies
3) The exact volume (in cc) needed to change cup size is different for different body types (e.g. 32A to 32D requires a different implant size than 38A to 38D)
4) Be careful NOT to fall into the trap most women do- they see a certain implant size (e.g. 285 cc) or perhaps their friend had a certain size, and they want or request this or another size based on that. Everyone's body is different- 285 cc implants on your friend might look VERY different than they would on you. Be very careful not to make this mistake, because the goal is to find the right size and shape for YOU- for your particular body and your breasts.

Because of those multiple factors, and because it is KEY to fully evaluate your breasts in person to make a full set of precise measurements to select the proper implant for you (incorporating factors like amount of breast tissue, implant type, base width, projection, etc), answering your question really would need a formal personalized consultation- to say anything before that would simply be guessing, which would be both unfair and unhelpful to you.

Your breasts are such a KEY area of your body and your femininity- therefore, you should ONLY trust an experienced aesthetic plastic surgeon. As such an expert, I have had extensive training and experience with complex aesthetic surgeries under a multiple world-renowned experts in the field. I’d recommend for you to setup a formal consultation with me (or another plastic surgeon who is extremely comfortable with aesthetic plastic surgery procedures) for a formal consultation to thoroughly discuss your surgical goals, undergo a formal examination, evaluate all your options (surgical and nonsurgical), and decide on the best procedure(s) and type of anesthesia for your specific case. I hope this helps!

Dear kitkat107,
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.

Everyone has different goals. For petite patients like yourself a smallish 200-250 can often provide nice fullness but maintain a natural look. I've found that petite patients that want to be natural are less likely to get "boob greed" and are very happy with their smaller implants.
If 300 felt like too much then you should trust that instinct.
Maybe trying on a 250 and seeing it that's a nice in between or help narrow the options down would be helpful.

Hello,

Thank you for the question.

Based on what you are describing, you appear to be a great candidate for breast augmentation.

Implant size discussion and implant selection is one of the most important steps during your consultation with plastic surgeon. The decision-making process depends on patient’s desires, as well as breast and soft tissue dimensions. 200-250cc size implant is considered to be on a smaller size, but will likely give you a fuller cleavage (full B/small C cup) if that is what you desire.

I would encourage you to seek a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to further discuss your options, specific techniques, concerns and expectations.

I hope this helps.
Best regards, Dr. Karanetz

You can always go bigger, but small implants are a good choice due to your small size. The 200 cc implants will likely make a significant enhancement of your chest, without impeding your ability to engage in athletic activities such as running, golf, etc, If in the future your want larger implants, you can always do that. However, if you put in large implants and then decide to downsize, the process is challenging as the implant has stretched the tissue, and may require a lift.

After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what is right for them.

Hello,
I would suggest measuring your breast width and seeing which type of implant would fit you best and help you achieve the end result you are looking for. If going under the muscle, you will lose some of the original volume, I'd suggest going 25cc bigger if you liked how the 200cc felt. A 225cc implant under the muscle will give you the look of 200cc.
All the best,
Dr. Joe

Hi KitKat, it’s hard to answer your question with the photos you provided. It is key to find a plastic surgeon whose aesthetics align with your own and achieves natural results that are in sync with your own preferences.

Size is the most common reason for a woman to be disappointed after a breast augmentation, either too big or not big enough. Do your research, be open to the possibility that more than one consultation may be necessary for you to feel confident about your decision moving forward.

Best of luck to you.
