I'm scheduled for the 16th of december to get my breasts done & I already chose the 300cc gummy bear implant with medium profile. But I've been thinking hard and I'm a bit worried that they will end up being to big for me. Some women with the same conditions wrote that they ended up with a D cup. My breast tissue is 1.4inches thick, I'm 19y/o, 5'10'' & 132lbs and no kids btw. Would you even be able to tell the 20ml difference?

Answer: Too big? You're tall at 5 feet and 10 inches and your body should be able to handle 300 cc very nicely. As far as a D cup bra goes, don't believe the bra manufacturers. Your breasts size should make you feel and look more beautiful and bras only limit how beautiful you could be in the end. This is why I suggest to my patients sizing in the office and seeing how different volumes create different appearances for your body in the mirror. Bottom line, I don't think 300 will be too big for you. Best, Dr. ALDO

Answer: 280cc or 300cc to get to a C Cup? 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
