I am 22, 5'4" and 115 pounds. I am very narrow up top and carry most of my weight on my thighs and buttocks. I have very thin arms and a small chest. I am a 32A/B and I am looking to be a 32D/DD. I have attached my goal size. What size implants would you recommend? I was thinking around 350cc. My doctor recommended 415cc but that sounds very large. I wanted to get some additional opinions. I sincerely appreciate your help! I will be getting them done at the end of March.

Answer: What size implants should I get if I am 5'4", 115 pounds and looking to be a D/DD cup? Hello and thank you for the question. An in-person consultation is needed to give you a useful advice and I would suggest that you discuss this with your plastic surgeon. Many factors including patient's desired breast size, skin envelope (both quality and quantity) and breast width diameter among others are important in selecting the implant size. Choosing the right implant should be a shared decision between you and your plastic surgeon. In a typical consultation, you try a variety of in-bra sizers and in combination with several other measurements that your surgeon will do, the final implant volume is selected. Use of 'goal pictures' is also an effective way to communicate your goals with your plastic surgeon. Generally speaking, each 125-150 cc corresponds to one cup size. So My best advice is that you communicate your goals and aesthetic ideals with your surgeon as clearly as possible and trust your surgeon's skills and abilities to deliver what you are looking for. Best wishes and good luck, Pejman Aflaki, M.D. Johns Hopkins-trained double board-certified plastic surgeon

Answer: What'e the right size breast implant for you? Thanks for your question and photos. Generally speaking, for a bra band of 32, each cup size is about 125 cc. It's not a perfect rule for determining which implant will work for you, but it's a decent guide. So for a three cups size increase, it can mean a 375 cc implant to get you there. So 350 is close, so is 415. The Natrelle Inspira implant which has 415 is a full profile implant (translated to relatively high profile) which makes sense considering the apparent width of your breast based on photos. To make a final decision, you need a careful examination to make sure this will work in your particular situation. I am a big fan of photographic three dimensional evaluation. I use the Vectra system which allows you to see yourself in three dimensions as you are now and as you wish to be. The system allows the surgeon to pick specific implants, not just volumes. Best of luck with your surgery.
