I've had two kids and just lost all volume, will 300 be too small. I've attached photos of the results I like I want to be a 32/34 full C or D
Answer: Breast augmentation, 300cc Hello and thank you for your question. You are a great candidate for a breast augmentation. 300cc or slightly larger may be realistic for you to achieve your goals. The size, profile, and shape of the implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. This entire surgery can be performed with a small incision technique. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Sizing Achieving the perfect size can't be determined via online questions. This would need to be determined and a lengthy and thoughtful consultation, showing pictures, trying on sizers, etc. Everyone holds the volume differentlyBest of luck!

Answer: Should I go bigger than 300 cc? First, from photos alone and without a clinical exam, it is really hard to know which size is going to help you achieve your goals. From the photo that you provided, I would say that 300 cc is not going to allow you to establish this much of a volume increase. Also, I would discourage you from the moderates since they tend to be wider and, in my opinion, give much less lift and shaping for my younger patients. In my practice, we employ a formalized plan that helps our patients achieve their desired size and shape which includes the following:In-person consultationBreast measurementsDiscussion of goals Pre-operative meeting to review photos (2-3 that you bring in demonstrating a volume relationship that you find attractive) and choose a style of implant and size rangeUse of implant sizers in surgery to actually see what specific volumes accomplish with your specific tissueI have found that this approach generally allows us to be very specific in terms of identifying what it is that you want and what we can actually accomplish with various implant styles and sizes.Above all, make sure and meet with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who specializes in breast enhancement. Who you choose for your initial surgery makes all the difference in terms of outcome not only for your first surgery but also potentially for any additional revisions down the road.I hope that helps and wish you the very best!-Gregory A Buford MD FACSBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author

Answer: Implant size Dear babesbabes,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.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, Am.

Answer: Should I go bigger than 300c moderate under the muscle silicone round implants? To achieve the results I love (Photo) An in person consultation would be necessary to perform a breast implant sizing evaluation to determine if 300 cc fits your muscle pocket. Most patients think in terms of cup sizes; where breast implants are measured in volume. The average breast implant in the US is 350 cc. Typically you will not notice a significant different between breast implant sizes unless they increase by 100 cc's. Try on a profile bra with sample silicone implants under a tailored blouse, tight sweater, swimsuit, and other garments you typically wear so that you have the best idea of whether the garments fit as desired with the implant selected. I would recommend that you go with the size that boosts your self-esteem, and fits your anatomy.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
