What size implants look good on a small frame?

I would agree with Dr. Rodgers in that I suggest to my patients that they look for a size relationship in photos and not a specific cup size.  In the end, whether you are a B/C/D cup, has less impact than how that extra volume looks on your frame.  
I hope that helps and wish you the very best.

It is very difficult to determine the best lift you will need (recommended based on your photos) or 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 300 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. The same process goes for just filling in the upper part of your breast without becoming much larger. 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 link below including silicone vs saline implants

HI shytown, I usually tell my patients to go for a look and not worry too much about the cup size. There are many factors that go into choosing the proper implant for your frame- the amount of tissue that you already have, the droop of your breasts and your own personal goals are just a few.I have had some of my patients bring in photos of models from teen magazines,and others,even from Playboy or online sites. Believe me there are small models even on these sites. If you find a look that you like, the surgeon can them make the determination as to which sizes of implants he/she wants to have on hand during the operation. I usually use sizers during the surgery to determine what look is best on the patient's individual frameIf you cannot find anything, you might try going back to the surgeon and have a more in depth discussion. Usually this is very helpful for both surgeon and patient. It is important to understand that no surgeon can ever make the exact replica of what you want, but with better communication, you and he/she can come pretty close.Best Wishes.Dr. Christine Rodgers    

Thanks for the question. I recommend you to send your photos to us to give you the advices you need and want. Kind regards

I think it would be helpful for you to try on implant sizers on your frame. I have attached a link about how I approach sizing below. Finding a sense of balance  but not going overboard with your petit frame is key.Hope it helps
