Hi all, I am 22 years old, barely 5'0, and very lean. I am contemplating 235-255cc HP submuscular silicone implants to get me up to a full B/small C cup. Because I'm so small, I'm afraid that even 255cc might look to big on me. Even the sizers I have tried seem very large. Any advice would be appreciated!
Answer: Implant size Thank you for your question and photos. Please understand that it is very difficult to predict cup size prior to surgery. What you can do though is ensure that the surgeon you have chosen is board certified in plastic surgery and is an expert in the breast augmentation with implants procedure. Also, it is absolutely crucial that you clearly communicate your surgical goals to your surgeon so that you can understand what is realistic for you. I recommend that you "try on" different sized implants and focus more on the look and comfort rather than the size.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

Answer: Picking the right implant size to achieve your goals In terms of picking the right implants to achieve your goals, generally speaking, I consider two factors when selecting implants for my patients:1. Dimensional planning2. Gel Implant Sizing systemDimensional planning – The measurements of your chest wall are taken. Also, the breast dimensions including the height, width, and current dimensions of each breast form the basis of dimensional planning. Based on these measurements, the implant size is recommended. This will give you a unique breast implant that is suited for your body frame. However, there are some limitations of what size we can recommend. For instance, some implants may just be too big for a narrow chest wall. Your surgeon can review this with you during the consultation.Gel Implant Sizing system – During the preliminary breast implant consultation, you will be provided with an option to “try on” a variety of implant shapes and sizes. You can also visualize the possible outcomes of your surgery which helps you to get that perfect size to give you the shape that you longed for. This way your preferences are known and you can then pick a range of implants that will “fit” just right to give a soft natural fuller look. Hope this helps.Dr.BasuHouston, TX
