5’5, 97 lbs, virtually zero breast tissue, born slim, chest area a bit bony + thin skin, but otherwise very proportionate body measurements w/ 24” waist. 11.5 cm breast plate, 32AA. Suggested @consult SSM-275 or SSF-335 w/stronger recommendation from surgeon to go full profile. Would you agree w/this surgeon’s suggestion & why? Worried SSF will render me unnatural. I just need some reassurance it’ll be beautifully subtle. The “look” I’m going for is as per below pix.

Answer: Discuss further If you aren't sure about sizing, discuss it more with your surgeon! Ask if you can try on sizers (in my practice, this is what I and my patients find helpful) or see a morph with the two different sizes. Size change is one of the most common reasons for a revision, so make sure you feel confident about the size you choose.

Answer: Implant size and type Dear summerbreeze09, 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.
