Breast Implants 250cc? 5'6, 122 Pounds.

250 cc implants are likely to get you from an A to a B cup.  I consider myself very conservative when it comes to implant size recommendations.  In a case like yours I would probably use something in the low to mid 300 cc size.   Most women with 250 cc implants would feel they are not large enough.

Hello. The most important factors for determining the size of implants that could be used on a patient include width of the base of the breast, the size of your thorax and the amount of breast tissue and skin you have. Even with the dimensions given it is hard to determine what you need without an in person consultation. I would consider trying sample implants and showing your surgeon pictures of your desired result to help determine the size implant that should be used.

Congratulations on your upcoming breast implant surgery. The correct breast implant size differs for every woman. The best plastic surgeons will select the best implant size to fit your body. This selection is usually based on measuring your body and selecting the best size for you. You should also try different implants on you prior to deciding the best size for you. This is process is like buying a shoe. You and your plastic surgeon should select an implant that fits your body and meets your aesthetic desires. Good luck

There are two major factors in choosing a breast implant size. 1) What size you like.  This can be determined by doing breast implant sizing in your surgeon's office.  Try different size implant sizers and look in the mirror to see how they complement your overall body shape.  2) Your surgeon's determination of what range of sizes are possible to use with your breast shape and body size.  Usually, your choice of implant size can be the main deciding factor, unless your surgeon's experience with your type of breast brings up concerns.  In which case she or he will discuss that with you.  Dr. B

   First, you should realize that a 250 cc implant on you will not look the same as it does on another woman.   The best thing to determine look is to try on sizers in the office.  This will give you an idea.  In general terms, a 250 cc implant is a small implant.  The average implant placed in the US is 350 cc in volume.   You can visit a surgeon's website to get an idea of size of implants on other individuals.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
