I REALLY want to be smaller breasted after my augmentation. I don't want to be anything more than a C cup! I do however want to gain upper breast volume that was lost during my pregnancy, nursing my children, and my age. My plastic surgeon, and I decided on 250 cc moderate plus profile implants filling to desired aesthetic. Yes, I do like saline. He assured me that a 250 implant is on the smaller side. Is it? He's the expert but I may want to bug him about going even smaller. ???

Answer: Size Selection Good morning, Yes 250cc is on the small side and should add a cup or so to your breast size- the very best way to pick a size is to take several different tops to your PS office and try on the implant sizers in a surgical bra- that way you can accurately choose the size which will achieve your personal goals!

Answer: Implant size and type Dear YogiMama76, 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.
