Hi, I am petite. 5’1, 95lbs and have a 26” rib cage and 29” bust. I am currently wearing a 32A bra and would like to be a full C cup/small D. I added my wish pics below and I forgot to show them to my surgeon before I was suggested 380cc mentor UHP silicone. Will this make me too big/fake and unnatural? Should I go for 350cc high profile instead? I want the look of some side boob and I am not sure if UHP will give me that and overall what size do you think would be best for my body? Please help, thanks!

Answer: Am I going too big at 350cc? Sizing is, of course, one of the key components of breast augmentation. All plastic surgeons would do it the same way, if there were a perfect way to do it. There is not, and each of us develops a process that seems to work most of the time. Most patients worry before surgery about going too big; after surgery very many wish they had gone bigger. I recommend you work with the surgeon you have chosen to do your procedure, and trust their recommendation. All the best.

Answer: Am I going to big? Am I going to big? Thanks girl 123 for your question. As you have found out, size is a very personal choice. Therefore, I find that online advise simply does not apply in most situations. It is always better to see a patient in person when recommending a size. On the other hand, you have a plastic surgeon already which can help you out to make this very important decision. I would suggest that you return to the office and discuss your size concerns but also show them your wish pictures and discuss whether these are realistic and your case. In addition, you can request to try Sizer’s and I do find it several size and systems work much better then 3-D imaging. I hope you have a great day, Dr. Aldo

Answer: Am I going too big at 350cc? Thank you for your question. The most important factor when sizing implants, is working closely with your surgeon, in person, to find the implant size that gives you the look that you desire. Careful measurements of your breast and chest wall will help determine which size implants will fit within your natural breast footprint. Taking into account your desired look, and your measurements, an implant is chosen that specifically fits your body. In my opinion, implant profile has the most significant effect on how natural your breasts appear after surgery. Ultra high profile, and high profile, implants tend to give a more "augmented" look. Moderate profile implants typically give an "in-between" look. Whereas low profile implants give a "natural" look, which is actually too natural for most patients. Unfortunately, online recommendations are not that helpful. Make sure that you have a good relationship with your plastic surgeon, so that you two can work together to find the right size and profile. In my office, patients try on implants in a bra and clothing. There able to see how they look in the mirror, and in photographs. Most women know they have found the right size when their breasts come into balance with their shoulders, waist, hips and buttocks. Women are also encouraged to bring in wish pictures, so that I can get a sense of the look that they would like to achieve. Good luck with the process!
