I am 5'1", athletic build (strong legs/butt), with small but nicely shaped breast (small B). I interviewed several surgeons and tried on sizers at each. Two surgeons agreed 450cc round silicone mod-prof above the muscle would be best for me. The 3rd thought 400cc round silicone mod-prof below the muscle was best. I decided on getting my surgery with one of the 450cc above muscle surgeons but am starting to second guess myself! Help!

Answer: Implant selection Hello and thank you for your question. The size, profile, and shape of the implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. This entire surgery can be performed with a small incision technique. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: 5'1" 450cc silicone too big? Thank you for your question and I can understand your apprehension. Unfortunately without a full series of photographs and a discussion as to your goal look, it is impossible to make an implant recommendation. There is unfortunately no correlation between cc size and eventual bra cup size. As a result it is important to be able to communicate what shape and size you'd like to obtain and your plastic surgeon can help you select an implant from there. Ultimately you should go with the surgeon with whom you feel most comfortable in asking questions as they should be providing you with the reassurance on your choice. Hope this helps.
