Allergen Natrelle 375-400cc High Projection Right for my Frame? (photo)

To test for size, bring a bra in your preferred size to your next consultation and try on implant sizers (they should have them in your desired volumes). This will give you a better idea of how your body will look after surgery. Then, if you think that the size your surgeon recommended is too big, you can always request something smaller. However, just a note: in my experience, rarely do patients regret having gone too big. They usually regret having gone too small!

Thank you for the question and pictures. Some general thoughts regarding breast implants may be helpful to you but also make sure that you will not benefit from breast lifting as well. Whether or not a breast lift will be helpful to you will depend on your physical examination but your frontal view picture does suggest that this operation should at least be discussed.

  In regards to the best breast implant size/profile to help achieve your goals, online consultants are not in a position to provide you with precise enough advice. I would certainly not base any decisions you make  on specific advice received online.


The best (general) online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery 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're looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.






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 “natural”  or “full C, small D cup” or " top-heavy” etc means 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.







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 hope this (and the attached link) help.

The most important thing is selecting implants is to get the correct base with.  Putting implants in your  bra is not very accurate as the implants will look different depending if you put them above or below the muscle.  also, if you go below the muscle, it appears that you may need a lift as well.
