Hello, I went to my first consultation for a breast augmentation. I am 5'1 105 pounds and a small A cup.
I have had one child so my breasts have that deflated look with no volume on top. I want silicone implants and want to be a C cup. My surgeon recommended Mentor HP implants due to my chest size and such.
I stated that I wanted my breasts to still look natural and fit my frame so he recommended 375cc or 400cc implant size. Will that size be too large and make me more of a D cup?
