I am expecting to have Breast augmentation in September. I'm 5'2", 94 lbs. My doctor suggests 260cc! Isn't that too small? I wanted 300cc up to 350cc. I don't know what to do, but isn't 260cc too small?
Answer: Choosing implants Thank you for the question and photos. The choosing of implants is a very crucial and is one that should be done through an in-person exam. The choice you make depends on your desired end result. It is always best to visit a board-certified plastic surgeon and have a full evaluation for your concern. Best of luck. Dr. Michael Omidi. An in-person exam with a board-certified plastic surgeon is the best way to assess your needs and provide true medical advice.

Answer: Implant Selection Process
Unfortunately, there is not a general rule of thumb or objective criteria to implant selection.
Your plastic surgeon will perform several measurements of your chest wall and breast anatomy and determine a range of implants that both fit your chest wall and reach your desired goals.
The next step is to try on this range of implants in the office with your doctor. The key to this success is showing your surgeon the body proportion you desire with a bra sizer and allowing your surgeon to guide you to the right implant. It will be much easier to communicate in implant cc's than cup size when determining the appropriate implant for you.
I wish you a safe recovery and fantastic result.
