I am a 37 years old , 5'4, 145 pounds and Mom of two. My breasts deflated after breastfeeding and I am looking to have a BA to regain fullness and some size. I was told I should get a Moderate Classic implant 470CC to achieve a natural and full look. I was measured 15 cm across my breasts. I am concerned the Moderate Classic is too pancake looking. My question is should I consider a smaller MP+ implant or would that look too overdone? Thank you!

Answer: Picture would help I doubt your breast width is 15cm given your height and weigh, 12 cm is more likely. 470cc is huge for you IMHO. Most woman do not want wide breasts that are under their arm pits. I would consider another consultation. Good Luck!

Answer: Moderate classic or moderate plus? Thank you for your question. Choosing an implant size can be daunting. I recommend you ask your surgeon to show you sizers on your frame. Looking at actual implants in a testng bra is not a perfect tool but I find it extraordinarily helpful for most patients. I find photos less accurate and cup size can mean different things to different patients and bra vendors.Think about how the curve of the implant balances with the curve of your hips. Too narrow can look like torpedoes, too wide can make you look heavy. Once you find the width that compliments your frame then think projection, low moderate or high. Look at yourself in a variety of clothing.It's hard to say without photos, but a 470 MC sounds wide for your frame. In general I tend to favor the shape of Moderate profile implant over low.When in doubt speak with your PS again. It is much better to be comfortable with your choice before the day of surgery.I have included a link about how to size. I hope it is helpful.Best wishes.
