Would 275 or 250cc moderate profile allergen Inspira be too narrow for me? If so, is 280cc low plus a good compromise? (Photos)

Hi Mommatoamiracle, 
I think 280cc low profile won't really give you what you are looking for, based on your wish pic posted. 
250cc or 275cc moderate profile will more likely achieve that. 
thats the basic quick answer, but of course a proper consultation is needed to get you a successful outcome that makes you happy. 
Breast Augmentation is one of the most common procedures we do here at my practice. Every Plastic Surgeon has his or her own technique and preference of implant shape and size. Personally I prefer round high profile implants. For those looking for a more natural look without an obvious cleavage I would use moderate profile implants (less projected implants). 
Most of the time I like to place the implant under the muscle for many technical reasons. Usually the decision is made during consultation where I can physically examine my patient as well as getting a sense of my patient's desires and wishes. There are techniques to put the implants above the muscle or half way under the muscle or all the way under the muscle. Every patient's desires are different and every patient's chest characteristics are different. The more experience your plastic surgeon has the more likely you will have a successful and happy result. 
Bringing Wish Pics is a fantastic way for me to imagine what my patient wants and helps me decide which implant to use to achieve the best result for my patient and give her what she is asking for.

Unfortunately making a reasonable recommendation to you based on a photo with sizers in place and someone else's measurements is not really practical.  This decision can be tricky under the best of circumstances.  Measurements give us a good starting point, but I also like to provide simulation (Chrysalix now has an app through Allergan that will allow you to do this on your phone at home).  Once that gets us an approximation, sizers can be helpful as well.  None of these things is exactly the same as actually having the implant in, so an experienced surgeon is key.

Thank you for the question.  
 Despite your good description of body type and goals, online consultants will not be able to provide you with specific enough advice to be truly helpful.  Ultimately, careful selection of plastic surgeon and careful communication of your goals (in my practice I prefer the use of goal pictures, direct examination/communication in front of a full-length mirror, in bra sizers, and computer imaging)  as well as careful measurements (dimensional planning) will be critical.
 
***Given your concerns, it is definitely worth spending more time (preferably prior to the date of surgery) with your plastic surgeon to discuss further.   It will be important for many reasons, that you feel comfortable that you and your plastic surgeon are on the "same page" prior to proceeding.
Generally, I have found that very few patients benefit from the use of low-profile breast implants; most patients with your body type and goals benefit from the use of moderate or moderate plus profile silicone gel breast implants.
  Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery (regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is:
1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. ***Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work. Sometimes, it is necessary to seek several consultations before you feel comfortable about your choice.
2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals. 
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 “very natural result” or "about a B cup” etc may mean different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. Again, best not to discuss your goals and/or judge the outcome of the procedure performed based on achieving a specific cup size. The use of computer imaging may be very helpful during the communication process. The use of in bra sizers may also be helpful. In other words, use as many “visual aids” as possible during the communication process. I encourage patients to meet with me as my times as necessary, to feel comfortable that we are both on the “same page”.
3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery. I generally select appropriate breast implant size/profile after the use of temporary intraoperative sizers and viewing the patient's chest in the upright and supine positions.
 
I hope this helps. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.
 

Hello. Thank you for your inquiry. It is important to have an in-person assessment regarding your concerns as it is difficult to determine virtually.

Exact end results and cup sizes are usually quite difficult to calculate as everyone has a different starting point.

There are many different factors that go into choosing a breast implant size which will correspond with your body dimensions while concurrently achieving your aesthetic results. Some of these factors are: Implant size (CC's), Implant profile (Low, Moderate, High), Placement of the implant (Subglandular vs. Dual Plane) etc. We utilize smooth round cohesive silicone gel 'gummy bear' implants for the best results.

During a consultation your aesthetic goals are heard and taken into account with the measurements of your breasts and the integrity of your tissue, as well as level of ptosis (sag). From here we collectively can find your 'perfect fit'. You are able to try out sizers and different implants in our office such that you can get an idea of what size you would be post-operation. We also offer Crisalix 3D plastic surgery virtual simulator during our in-person and virtual consultations to preview potential results. After your consultation, you will receive your very own implant sizers to take home with you (at a small cost) whether or not you decide to go forward with your procedure.

I usually recommend that my patients stop smoking, take vitamin C daily, and avoid aspirin/ibuprofen and vitamin E 3 weeks prior to surgery. I specialize in the 24-hour Recovery method which minimizes trauma to the breast and decreases pain post-operatively.
