Hello, i'm scheduled for my BA next week and after meeting with the doctor and trying on sizers I have tentatively decided on 210cc smooth round moderate profile (Natrelle). Curious around what cup this would get me to? At first I was worried it would be too big, but now I am worried it will be too small. I am thin with a small frame and not much breast tissue to start with. My goal would be a full B...I don't want a massive change, but also still want them to look round/full.

Answer: Breast Implant Sizing It is really difficult to answer your question as there is a lot that goes into sizing our patients. We perform measurements, evaluate the skin envelope elasticity, look at photos, look at diagrams and finally use the Allergan sizing system to size the patient in the office. We obviously listen and discuss exactly what the patient wants and doesn’t want so that we can deliver the expected results. It sounds like you may have sized already but if you have any doubts I would recommend you go back and try the sizing again. You are pretty tall at 5'7" and could carry a bigger implant without it looking TOO big on you. As far as bra size, I always tell my patients focus on the look not the bra size. Bra size is too variable and depends on who is sizing you and which manufacturer you are using. Focus on how the sizing system looks on you during the sizing and make sure to look at a full length mirror. Hope that helps.

Answer: Implant size Dear treeetoh, 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.
