Looking to find the best fit for me. Im 23, a mother of 3 wonderful children and now that im not breastfeeding anymore im wanting implants since my breasts arent filling out anymore. Im 5'3" and a 36C but i want bigger. I was thinking 500cc teardrop but i want to go through the armpit so that my chest isnt scared. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Answer: Implant size Dear Imaginative682799, 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.

Answer: Implants The 500 cc implants will be too large and heavy for your frame just based on your one photo and your height. also, such large implants are usually not placed through the armpit. I would suggest meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon, being examined and measured, and trying on the range of sizes that best fits your frame and tissue. If you go too large, your implants will not look good long term, with stretch and thin your tissue, and sag. Plus, they will be too heavy for your neck and shoulders.
