I had a breast consultation and scheduled it for the end of Sept. We agreed on 405cc gummy bears at my appt. I'm super excited but now I'm second guessing my size I chose and thinking I might want to go bigger. I definitely want something proportionate to my body, but I've also always wanted boobies and don't want to regret it. Will I look funky going bigger? What size do you recommend for me? All advice is helpful! THANK YOU.

Answer: Case analysis Hi, After reviewing your pictures, I can say that a 405 cc implant is a good implant selection in terms of size and results. Imagine that in theory you will increase 2 cups in a bra size. Bigger implants will be too big and you might not have a natural/aesthetic result. Best regards,Dr. Enrique Quiros Lim

Answer: Implant size Dear Schoolgirl13, breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.
