5'3, 110lbs, any input on sizes? 450cc and 385cc mod plus implants (Photo)

Question

I am 5'3, 110 lbs post 2 children that need to exchange the previous implants and nipple lifts. The surgeon recommended me to have 450cc on the left, and 385cc on the right breast. I currently have 325cc on both and I'm scared that 450cc will be remarkably big for my body. Any input on the implant sizes? With the 325cc, I loved the size although now I'm experiencing sagging, thus, need the nipple lifts and bigger implants (trying to avoid the anchor lift)

Dear yeeks,
breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.

Don't go bigger to avoid the lift for you will just sag with heavier implants that will be too large for your frame and tissue. You don't need the anchor lift, but do need a lift.

Mark Eberbach, MD · Answer

While no one wants the scar of a Wise pattern, often it is better to look good than be big. Smaller with lift is likely to be more attractive and have better longevity.

Get two opinions. Good luck
