I'm 5'5 and weigh about 145lbs and I'm scheduled to have my surgery at the end of March. I'm unsure as to what size to go with I'm currently a C cup but want to go to a full D or Double DD. The 1st doctor recommended 600cc but my second doctor recommended 500/550cc to achieve the look I am going for. I'm afraid of choosing the wrong size. I'm a mom of 2 wanting to go for a natural fuller look that isn't over the top. I am definitely going with silicone but unsure on mod+ or high profile. Please help.

Answer: Bring a spouse, girlfriend or photos... Its always difficult to meet patients and in a very short period of time figure out what they want. I encourage patients to bring a spouse or girlfriend in to help them decide what looks good on them. We can give suggestions but, they are only that...suggestions.

Answer: Cup sizing and CCs? The best cosmetic result in any particular breast augmentation patient depends on a variety of factors, including: Your individual anatomy, realistic expectations, a thorough discussion with the plastic surgeon about the options, and an understanding of the pros and cons of any particular implant choice. Proper sizing is not just about the number of cc’s. The thickness of your tissue, breast dimensions which include the width, height, and projection, as well as chest wall width all need to be considered when choosing an implant. Trying on implant “sizers” of various shapes and volumes while wearing a tight t-shirt, bra, or bathing sit at a preoperative visit will help you and your surgeon choose the optimal implant.There are no manufacturers' standards for cup sizing in the bra industry. The cups of a 32 D and a 38 D are significantly different. Cup size varies from manufacturer to manufacturer and even within styles from any particular manufacturer.Keep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedure would not be in your best interest. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.Robert Singer, MD FACSLa Jolla, California
