What is the smallest ideal implant size i can get? My goal is to correct asymmetry and have about 1/2 cup size increase - just better shape and I don't have enough fat for fat graft. Am really scared of winding up too big and wondering if surgeons ever get requests for this much of a small increase to make things just a bit more perky
Answer: Smallest Ideal Implant to correct asymmetry?? Ask Dr Ellen That's a very common question and like yourself, my preference was to choose small implants as well. Here are some tips for you on choosing your Ideal Implant:1. visit a board certified plastic surgeon with Ideal experience2. try on sizers to see how they look on YOUR body3. keep in mind that Ideal allows for correction of mild asymmetry by adjusting the volume of each implant4. The smallest Ideal available today is 210cc which is quite small. I am also very lean and with modest breast tissue. And, I'm only 5'3", 110 lbs. This brings me to a B cup. Hope that gives you some confidence!Sounds like you're heading in the correct direction! You'll love Ideal!In good health,Ellen Mahony, MD

Answer: You are not alone I have many patients you only want a small increase. I believe the Ideal implant smallest is a 210 or 240 cc. You can always switch to regular Saline implants and get down into the 150s if you feel the 200s are too large. Speaking from experience however my Ideal implant patients who put in the 200s are extremely happy and have not felt too big. Good luck

Answer: The right size for you It is very difficult to determine the exact size and shape implant you will require to best match your ideal breast image without an examination by a board certified plastic surgeon. Not just any board certified plastic surgeon, but one with many years of frequently performing breast augmentation surgery including different approaches, techniques and implant choices. This is because several measurements not to mention your breast characteristics are needed to determine the optimal implant size to obtain your goals. Without knowing these dimensions it would be difficult to make this determination. For example, the existing base width of your breast will determine, in many cases, the maximal volume per implant profile that you can accommodate. To illustrate; a 100 cc difference may make a significant difference with a narrow base width breast, but much less of a difference if you have a wide chest wall and wide breast “foot print”. Therefore, just because your friend may have a great result with let’s say a 350 cc implant to make her go from a “A” cup to a “C” cup size does not mean that you will have the same result with the same size implant. . Further simply placing implants in a bra to determine the size best for you is not always accurate as the bra often distorts the size, is dependent on the pressure the bra places plus the implant is outside your breast and not under it among other variables. Computer software morphing programs that automatically determine the best implant size can be helpful in some but not all cases (e.g. doesn’t work well in my experience with existing implants, sagging or asymmetric breasts). Using “want to be” photos however are useful if simply provided to the surgeon as I will further explain in the below link.
