I am undergoing a Breast Augmentation in two weeks and was wondering which implant is more likely to bring me to a full C. At my consultation I tried on a 400cc Breast Implant but felt I looked "top heavy," and felt that 350cc were too small for me. I liked the projection of 400cc so I was wondering if I should get a 375cc implant in moderate plus or moderate. Which would look more natural? My stats are 5'6" and 135lbs. I'm starting off with a 34A or small B. Thanks!

Answer: Implants for Breast Augmentation? Choosing the right implants are not an easy decision. You should see aplastic surgeon who will be doing some measurements to give you an idea of the breast base and range of implants suitable for your frame. Then bases on amount of projection you are looking for you choose implant profiles and based on upper pole shape you can choose either round or tear drop implants . If you choose an implant with wider base than your breast base, the implants tend to move to your arm pits. Pleas take pictures when you try the sizers and think when you are at home, and I always recommend to come back again to try the preferred sizers again and see how look on your frame. Same implant will never give similar results on any two patient and implant selection should be tailored to you and your frame. Please discuss with your Consultant Plastic Surgeon about implant selection.

Answer: Choosing the correct implant size. Thank you for your question. Breast implant sizing varies from patient to patient and there are a lot of factors involved in the final decision. From the surgeon’s standpoint, we take measurements and consider the original amount of breast tissue, the patient’s height, weight, chest circumference, and cup size desires. Typically to go up and down in cup size, it’s about 100 cc’s in volume. Your question as to which size to choose to look natural and not top heavy nor too small is a very individual opinion. As a plastic surgeon, part of the consultation is taking measurements and then referring to the manufacture’s sizing chart. For example, if the breast diameter is 14 cm, normally we look at the different profiles available with a diameter around 13.5 or so. The profiles range from low to high. We choose the profile that would best fit the patient’s desires. Unfortunately, we can’t always choose a size exactly between a 350 and 400 cc’s, because it may not be available by the manufacturer. I don’t think the difference between a 350 and 400 cc implant would make or break whether you look unnatural, but that would be best decided on during your pre-operative appointment.I hope this helps!!
