I'm having surgery on the 19th of February. I have seen my PS twice about size. I'm 5'5", 115lbs. My BWD is 12.5 on one side and 12.9 on the other. My ribcage is 29 inches (so 34A as of now). My PS said I was a small to medium A.I understand that he does this all day every day, and we discussed 375cc and 400cc. Please help me to decide which Breast implant would look best on my frame! I don't want to be too big or look silly.
Answer: Implant size and cost
It doesn't matter which size you choose, as there is little difference. You could put one on one side the the other on the other side, and probably not be able to tell the difference. Pick a size and don't second guess yourself.

Answer: Sizers and 3D Imaging May Be Helpful The question of breast implant size is always difficult for prospective breast augmentation patients.For this reason, multiple approaches are utilized to make this determination preoperatively.These include reviewing magazine photographs, external sizers, and recently the 3D Vectra computer imaging system, to name a few.Even when tremendous care is taken preoperatively to determine breast size, the final decision needs to be made in the Operating Room, by the surgeon.At this point, an assessment can be made regarding how the patient’s breast tissue interacts with the breast implant.Occasionally, obtaining a specific size doesn’t allow the surgeon to meet the patient’s other aesthetic goals.For this reason, locking into a specific size isn’t always a good idea.Results are often better when a surgeon has the ability to make adjustments in the Operating Room.It’s also important to realize that, for many patients, a 25 cc difference in breast size would be difficult to notice.In reality, a 25 cc difference is less than two tablespoons, which is spread out in three dimensions over the implant.In your case, I think it’s important to thoroughly discuss your aesthetic goals with your surgeon.Make sure he has the latitude to do what’s best for you in the Operating Room, so he can meet your aesthetic goals.It’s important that you have an approximate idea of the breast size that you’re considering, but don’t become married to an absolute number.

Answer: Size I would need to examine you but 12.5cm usually is 350cm, if you were stretchy I would add 60cc if your skin is tight I would reduce 30cc

Answer: Breast implants
You've decided on a plastic surgeon that you trust to do your surgery. Opinions from us without having seen you are worthless. If you are still having doubts go on another consultation.

Answer: Breast implant size
It is very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C cup” or "fake looking" means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate.
I use intraoperative sizers and place the patient in the upright position to evaluate breast size. Use of these sizers also allow me to select the press implant profile (low, moderate, moderate plus, high-profile) that would most likely achieve the patient's goals. The patient's goal pictures are hanging on the wall, and allow for direct comparison.
I have found that this system is very helpful in improving the chances of achieving the patient's goals as consistently as possible.
By the way, the most common regret after this operation, is “I wish I was bigger”.
I hope this helps.
