Is 375cc too Large for Me to Look Natural? (photo)

Hello,

The word 'natural' can mean something different to each person, so it is a very subjective term.  What looks fake to some is 'too natural' to others!  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  I cannot guess where your taste lies, but I can give a very educated guess as to how you would look with 375 cc HP implants.

You have a small ribcage, minimal fat, and small breasts.  The skin below your nipples is short and tight. The implant in question is wider than your breasts, and shaped like an igloo, being very tall compared to its width.  It is very likely that your breasts will appear very full on top, like a shelf, with your nipples low on the breast mound. Even with time and some settling, your breasts will probably not escape the look of a ball.  There is no massage that will prevent this or yield something more natural looking.

More importantly, your risk for complications would be higher than is necessary (10 times more) with the choice of this implant. The fact of the matter is you are just not a good candidate for augmentation to a full C cup, and you would be better served with a more modest augmentation, yielding a pretty, low risk result that will last for many years.

Best of luck!

You have a very small frame, so it usually is not natural for someone your size to have breasts as large as the 375 cc will make you. However, breast aumentation is such a common procedure now that implants are a "natural" look. The 375 cc implant is the most common size that I use for patients, and I believe you will be happy with them providing you are not exceptionally modest. Cloths do hide breast when you want, but in a bathing suite or low cut, you will look very nice.

My suggestion: If you still have questions, see your plastic surgeon, place sizers in a bra and put on a T-shirt. View your appearance from every angle and make a decision.

Remember 25 cc either way is hardly noticable. Good luck with your surgery.

taking a look at your picture I think you will be at the upper "limit" of a "natural" appearance, as opposed to a "fake" look.  Silicone gel implants look typically 1 or 2 sizes smaller than saline implants for a given size.  I never totally "commit" to a number and I always utilize a sterile breast sizer to test the size prior to committing to a particular number. Also you have to remember that the implants will look slightly smaller "internally" than they do when you try them on as pictured.  I think you will do well!
