I met with 3 board certified surgeons for consultation and got 3 different opinions. Stats: 5'2, 110 lbs, bra size 34 AA, age 44 , breastfed 4 children. I would like to up to a C cup, natural look. A natural look is important to me. I choose silicone smooth round. First surgeon: moderate plus 275 to 300 cc Second surgeon: moderate plus 300 to 350. Third surgeon: high profile 300 to 400. I see the wisdom in them all, but I also am very unsure what option is best.

Answer: I want to go from an AA to C cup, what profile and size would you recommend? Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is: 1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you're looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work. 2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining which operation and/or breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals.In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or "C or D cup" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. The use of computer imaging may also be helpful during this communication process. Regardless of what you might hear, there is no reliable correlation between volume of breast implant used and increase in breast size achieved. 3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery. I hope this, and the attached link, helps.

Answer: I want to go from an AA to C cup, what profile and size would you recommend? I try to give patients the opportunity of choosing a volume using the Mentor sizers in a bra with me and my staff. My guess would be a 400 cc
