I am 5'11.5" and 135 lbs. My ribcage is 30" and current breast size is 33" A/B- waist 26" - hips 37". What implant should I select to maintain my dancer's figure? I would like to keep a lean, sophisticated look that is also practical for the intense athletic demands of my industry and is still able to fit into stage costumes. I would like my breast implants to balance my thin upper body with my slightly curvier, more muscular hips/bum/legs, and give a gently feminine appeal.
Answer: Best Breast Implant Size/Profile for Me? Thank you for the question.
As you can imagine, despite your good description of body type and goals, it is not possible to give you precise advice online.
The best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery 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 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 “gentle, feminine appeal” or “lean,sophisticated” etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate.
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) help.

Answer: Breast Implant Size is Most Natural for a Very Tall, Very Slim Dancer Perhaps this may provide you with some insight. I find that if a woman wears a size 36 AB bra and would like to be a C cup, which is the average size that women wear and the average size bra that is sold, she needs a volume of approximately 350 to 390 cc to make that change. This becomes less if she's wearing a 34 bra, because it has a smaller strap size and the cups have a smaller diameter. A smaller diameter implant would then be a volume of approximately 300 to 350 cc. In the same way if she was more petite, maybe a double zero or size one and wore a 32 AB bra, then to become a 32C cup she would only require about 250 to 300 cc. This is a general number, and of course there are other factors that will affect this. Other factors which contribute to the outcome are size, shape, and profile. The #profile is determined by the amount of #projection versus roundness that the you desire, as well as the #size of the implant and size of your chest. Also, the placement or incision location will also have an effect on profile. Another element to a satisfying result of your #augmentation is realistic #expectations.Talk to your surgeon at greater length and be sure to view before and after pictures and reviews beforehand to gain more reassurance of the procedure.

Answer: Tall Thin Dancer and Implant Size
Taller women can usually tolerate larger implants. Having said that the average implant placed in the US is a 350 cc implant. Moderate or moderate plus implants may be better for a more conservative look. Anywhere from 250 cc to 350 cc may be appropriate, but really larger volume ranges are possible.

Answer: An breast implant with a smaller diameter might be right for you.
You should first make a free consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon and bring in some pictures of what you would like to look like. After your measurements are taken an implant size with a smaller diameter and higher projection may be recommended for what you are seeking. The implants should be placed under the muscle for a longer lasting optimal result. A smaller implant is usually reccommended as well for athletic patients. Good luck!

Answer: Which implant is optimal in a professional dancer who is thin?
Yep you are a tall drink of water and I imagine that you are stunning. Generally, the choice of implant anticipates the way it will realize an aesthetic,or visual weight to the breast and how that will enhance not just the breast, but also the body line. It is needs to reflect one's own aesthetic sensibilities.Your profession requires a fairly specific aesthetic. An evaluation starts with an specific discussion of your aesthetic goals. A dimensional analysis of your breasts is done but one should assess the shape, dimensions and proportions of your chest as well as that of your waist, hips, legs and back. During your consultation, it is very important that your doctor listen carefully. A visual aid that has also been helpful is our Vectra XT 3D, three dimensional imaging system. It shows, in real time, an image of your breast size and shape on your torso. Still, it is listening to your goals as well as using good aesthetic judgement, that is key here. I simply am not able to recommend a size or implant style without an evaluation, visual analysis and a good conversation about your expectations. Having worked on many models and dancers in the past, there is an aesthetic sensibility that is so important.
