I am having a breast augmentation next month and have selected 575cc Mod + round silicone implants to be placed under the muscle. I am 5ft2in and 116 lb, and have deflated A-B sized breasts currently after breastfeeding two kids. My goal is to be in the D to DD range but no larger. My concern is that I don’t want to look matronly and I’m afraid that the implants will be too large and I’ll end up bigger than DD. Should I go smaller or do you think that this size is appropriate?
Answer: Implant size I think it’s too big. You might not think so at first but over time you’ll realize you should’ve gone smaller. 450 c is still plenty big. I never go over 500. I have hear many times “what was I thinking?”

Answer: Implant Size The process of selecting an implant is one of the most important aspects of breast augmentation. I would go see a board-certified plastic surgeon (ideally with 5 years of plastic surgery residency training and a 1 year aesthetic fellowship). I would go see a surgeon who has the ability to perform 3D preoperative imaging to show the potential results utilizing tissue-based measurements. Based on your native tissue measurements, I think it is highly unlikely that you are able to accommodate a 575cc implant. Additionally, large implants will create large problems over time such as soft tissue stretch, lateralization, difficult revisionary future cases, and potential other issues. I would highly consider downsizing and discussing this with your surgeon.

Answer: Implant selection An in person evaluation is needed to know for sure, but a 575cc implant on your petite frame may very well be too large and make you appear top heavy. Many surgeons have sample implants you can "try on" to help you get a feel for how you will look after surgery. That may be helpful in your case.

Answer: 575cc Thanks for your question! Without seeing you in person, it's difficult to give you an exact answer. However, 575cc on a 5'2" patient sounds quite large. To achieve a D-DD, I may recommend something in the 400cc range. Good luck!
