255cc on very petite frame. I am hoping to be a full b/small c max. Does this sound right? (photos)

Good morning,
Actually based on your photos and description that sounds very appropriate for the result you want- good luck!

I think that the 255 will give you the results you want. It will be enough to actually feel/look like you did something but not obvious. Typically I add 25-50 to the sizers to compensate for being under the muscle.

Hello,
Thank you for the question and photos.
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 of the chest wall. I also utilize Vectra 3D planning to further help with implant selection.
Based on your photos, 255cc size implant should give you a small C cup on a petite frame, but it is important to understand that cup sizes vary with different company brands.
Best wishes and good luck with your upcoming surgery.
Best regards,

At size 27, each 100 cc of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. 250 cc implants would take you up 2 1/2 cup sizes to a size C.

Best Wishes,

After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. 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 size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. I think you are in the right ballpark but without key breast measurements it is difficult to recommend the best cc size. I would think 275-295 may be a better option but if you tried on sizers in your surgeon’s office, feel confident in your current decision.

Dear Considerate753203,
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.

Thank you for your photos.
If you're considering breast augmentation, talk to a plastic surgeon. Make sure you understand what surgery involves, including possible risks, complications and follow-up care.

The size you selected should look very nice on you and fit your frame and tissue well. Good luck with your surgery!

I think you and your surgeon are spot on with the implants you have chosen considering your petite body frame. Enjoy your results!
