I am considering implants, silicone moderate plus, under the muscle 250cc. I am currently 34A want to be a 34C but i want VERY natural looking breasts, not fake!!! I am 108lbs, 5'3" with BWD 11. Do you think that 250cc will be too big on my frame...natural is my major concern!!! Please give me your thoughts.
Answer: Will 250cc Silicone Moderate Plus Implants Be Too Big?
I don't think you will be too big. 250cc moderate plus, under the muscle might not get you to a C cup however. "Natural" is not only dependent on the size but also on making a preper pocket for the implant. I suggest you bring pictures of your desired results to your PS to make sure you areboth on the same page.

Answer: Natural results with minimal scars
At size 34 A each 100 cc’s of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. To go to a size C would require 200 cc implants. I always recommend silicone gel implants placed retro-pectoral since they look and feel more natural, are less likely to ripple and are more stable long term. In the retro-pectoral position, the profile of the implant is irrelevant since the muscle compresses it. Unfortunately, you have not provided any photographs but you may also benefit from a simultaneous Mini Ultimate Breast Lift. This technique only uses a circumareola incision to place the implant, reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Aligning the areola, breast tissue and implant over the bony prominence of the chest wall gives maximum anterior projection with a minimal size implant. Breast Augmentation with Mini Ultimate Breast Lift will give you the natural look with the smallest implant possible and least amount of scarring.

Answer: Will 250cc Silicone Moderate Plus Implants Be Too Big?
The average volume for a breast augmentation is 350 cc in the US. 250 cc is well below that volume and would be considered a conservative augmentation at best.

Answer: Will Implant Be Too Big?
Though it is not possible to determine this without an examination, the information you have provided is very helpfull. A 250 cc implant is fairly conservative and with a base width of 11.0 cm, I would expect an increase from a 34A to a conservative 34C, for someone of your height and weight. That said, I never know exactly what size is best until the implant is placed at surgery. However, it is very infrequent that I use implants smaller than 250 cc and most of my patients are looking for a natural result. You should discuss your goals and concerns with your surgeon. Good luck.

Answer: Choosing Your Breast Implant Size
Although potentially useful to some degree, online “consultations” cannot be as precise as necessary. Ultimately, careful communication of your goals, careful measurements (dimensional planning), careful selection of appropriate breast implants and skillful execution of the procedure will be important steps in achieving your goals.
Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery is:
1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you're looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.
2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals.
In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C or D cup” etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate.
3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery.
I hope this (and the attached link) help.
