21 yo, 5' 1 Asian, 100 pounds, BWD 10.5cm, picture of me is provided. I like the projection and natural look of moderate plus profile. I’ve found reviews with the exact proportions I prefer but I am unsure of their bwd. They all range from 300-350cc However, in the case that my bwd might be smaller than theirs, how do I achieve the same projection and proportions as them with a smaller bwd without switching to hp? Is it possible? Thank you!
Answer: Implant Size Guide Thank you for your question. Your BWD is a significant factor in choosing the right implant size and profile. Since you prefer a moderate plus profile for its balance between projection and width, a size range of 300-350cc is reasonable for your petite frame. This choice should provide a wider base with moderate projection, aligning with your goal of achieving a natural look. HP implants offer greater projection with a narrower base, which can result in more upper pole fullness. However, they may also create a perkier, rounder appearance instead of a naturally sloped breast shape. If you favor the natural slope of MP implants but find that your BWD is slightly smaller than those referenced in the reviews, you might consider HP implants. In this case, you would likely need to select a smaller size (275-325cc) to prevent excessive projection that could appear unnatural. However, you should have a consultation with your surgeon to select the best implant for you.

Answer: Breast implant choice Hello and thank you for your question. In general, I recommend implants with base diameters that fall within the natural boundaries of the breast. Larger implants that require modification of pre existing breast landmarks can lead to implant malposition in the long term. You may find it helpful to consult with a plastic surgeon who utilizes VECTRA 3 dimensional imaging as part of their consultation. It provides a fairly accurate simulation of how you may look with different volumes/profiles and may help you in your decision making process. Good luck.

Answer: HP won’t be necessary Of course I can’t tell the exact size that may help you to get results you desire without examing you, but in my opinion 300-325 will be enough. HP implants are useful when we need to uprise the nipple position. In your case I don’t think that it will be necessary.

Answer: Hard to say- you'd need a consult | Breast Implants | Augmentation | Lift | Fat Grafting | Aesthetic Plastic Surgery | Expert Hello and thank you for your question. Honestly, a formal in-person evaluation would be needed to determine the best treatment. There are several reasons for this: 1) Bra sizes vary based on the clothing store (for example, Victoria's Secret tends to upsize everyone by a whole cup size) 2) Most women do not wear the proper exact fitting bra size for their bodies 3) The exact volume (in cc) needed to change cup size is different for different body types (e.g. 32A to 32D requires a different implant size than 38A to 38D) 4) Be careful NOT to fall into the trap most women do- they see a certain implant size (e.g. 285 cc) or perhaps their friend had a certain size, and they want or request this or another size based on that. Everyone's body is different- 285 cc implants on your friend might look VERY different than they would on you. Be very careful not to make this mistake, because the goal is to find the right size and shape for YOU- for your particular body and your breasts. Because of those multiple factors, and because it is KEY to fully evaluate your breasts in person to make a full set of precise measurements to select the proper implant for you (incorporating factors like amount of breast tissue, implant type, base width, projection, etc), answering your question really would need a formal personalized consultation- to say anything before that would simply be guessing, which would be both unfair and unhelpful to you. Your breasts are such a KEY area of your body and your femininity- therefore, you should ONLY trust an experienced aesthetic plastic surgeon. As such an expert, I have had extensive training and experience with complex aesthetic surgeries under a multiple world-renowned experts in the field. I’d recommend for you to setup a formal consultation with me (or another plastic surgeon who is extremely comfortable with aesthetic plastic surgery procedures) for a formal consultation to thoroughly discuss your surgical goals, undergo a formal examination, evaluate all your options (surgical and nonsurgical), and decide on the best procedure(s) and type of anesthesia for your specific case. I hope this helps! Dr. Donald Groves Aesthetic Plastic Surgeon
