I'm 5'6 ~130lbs and currently wear a 34B (in VS size). I have tried on sizers at a consultation and originally thought I wanted something like 300ccs but after sizers I thought more like 375 to 400. I want to go under the muscle and I'm trying to figure out if 400 will look way too big on my frame.
Answer: Avoid over implantation At size 34 B each 100 cc’s of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change.400 cc implants would take you up 4 cup sizes to a F.400 cc implants will not fit retro-pectoral, will extrude inferiorly and laterally requiring revision.I always recommend small round textured silicone gel implants placed retro-pectoral since they look and feel more natural, are more stable, less likely to ripple or have complications needing revision.Implant profile is irrelevant in the retro-pectoral position since the muscle compresses it.22% of women who undergo breast augmentation require revision within 2 years because they are dissatisfied with the result.A frequent cause of dissatisfaction is over implantation.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Size should be proportionate Thanks for your question and picture. Implant size is largely dictated by your base diameter because the implant must "fit" on the chest. Once the diameter is chosen then you can look at the profile. A high profile provides the most volume and projection but the trade off is that it looks very round. The wider the implant is the more it will sit in your arm pit area. Hopefully you and your surgeon can find the ideal size for you. I'm betting a 350CC medium profile will give you the result you want. Best of Luck!

Answer: Sizing implants Good morning!Sizing implants can be thought of as a series of tradeoffs. One must balance desired size with whatever anatomy they may possess, as well as tissue elasticity and breast tissue shape. It is a common misconception that any patient can be any size they want and still look good- so much depends upon the above factors as well as surgical skill.Looking at photos is always difficult to tell about appropriate size ranges for you and the type of look you are going for, but I would say that a 400cc implant would push you beyond the "did she or didn't she get an augmentation" question into the "well- look who got a breast augmentation!" realm.I hope this helps

Answer: Sizing The size should fit your anatomy, make sure your surgeon has picked an implant that matches your tissue dynamics so you can have a succeful long term outcome

Answer: 400cc too big? 400cc will make you a full D or DD. As long as you felt comfortable with the sizers on during your consultation, I believe you will be very happy with your end results. Please also do not get caught up in cup sizes as cup sizes vary as your chest band size changes. i.e. a 34D is going to be significantly smaller than a 38D.
