I am scheduled for a ba in June and can't decide between 290 or 335. I am 85 pounds and my bra size currently is 32a. My width is 10cm as measured by my surgeon and he recommends 290. Can anyone tell me APPROXIMATELY what size cup I would be after if I went with the 290? I would be getting smooth silicone under the muscle( sub muscular ). Thanks

Answer: Choosing sizes can be challenging, especially when starting with a petite frame such as yours. A cup of rice in a nylon stocking will create a size of 240 cc's. I usually upsize the sizer by 10% to choose the implant volume so using a cup would give you a good idea of what size you will be. If its not enough, then go with the 335 cc volume. The most common complaint I get is "I wish I went larger" and my recommendations to my patients when torn between two adjacent sizes is always go with the larger one, assuming your chest can handle it.

Answer: Sizing I consider two factors when selecting implants for my patients:1. Dimensional planning2. Gel Implant Sizing systemDimensional planning – The measurements of your chest wall are taken. Also, the breast dimensions including the height, width, and current dimensions of each breast form the basis of dimensional planning. Based on these measurements, the implant size is recommended. This will give you a unique breast implant that is suited for your body frame. However, there are some limitations of what size we can recommend. For instance, some implants may just be too big for a narrow chest wall. Your surgeon can review this with you during the consultation.Gel Implant Sizing system – During the preliminary breast implant consultation, you will be provided with an option to “try on” a variety of implant shapes and sizes. You can also visualize the possible outcomes of your surgery which helps you to get that perfect size to give you the shape that you longed for. This way your preferences are known and you can then pick a range of implants that will “fit” just right to give a soft natural fuller look. Hope this helps.
