Breast implant size- 250cc silicone low profile, any suggestions? (Photos)

Choosing the correct breast implant size or volume can be quite stressful not to mention your plastic surgeon may present you with a number of shapes and profiles. There are a number of methods for determining implant size, none is perfect but they all help. These include the use of sizers or computer 3D imaging of which there are several systems. It is also reasonable to show your surgeon photos from the Internet of what you are hoping to achieve. However, it may be impossible to completely achieve what you visualized but will probably be quite happy with the results! In addition to body shape and various measurements, other factors include your underlying muscle if sub muscular implants are going to be placed, your skin tone, presence of stretchmarks etc. A 250 mL implant is relatively small and the photos provided on this question do not indicate height or chest measurements so it is hard to determine if this will achieve the goals. In general, if more volume is desired in the upper part of the breast, a low profile would not be my first choice. Higher profile implants would achieve better superior fullness.

Dear lovetheoutdoors,
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.
