Full C Cup Breast Implants Too Large for Petite Frame?

J
JessCSep 3, 2009

I'm considering having breast augmentation. I'm trying to determine the size. I was a full B cup, but since having my son, have actually lost weight and gone down to an A cup. I'm petite at 5 feet and 92 lbs. I'm considereing going to a full C. Would that be too large for my height and frame?

Hi and thank you for your question.Congrats on quitting smoking! I have my patients stop smoking three weeks before and after surgery. Twelve days  should be fine, but check with your surgeon for his/her recommendations and instrucutions. Every surgeon has a different protocol. Best of luck!
