I'm aiming for a natural but fuller look. I am 5ft 115lbs. Hoping to have full C small.D..I have 24in waist 34in hips..I have never had kids. I'm fairly active at the gym too. I've had 5 consultations...some docs advised HP some MP some MPP. Range of 350-375cc. I did the rice in a nylon test and felt good with 360(12oz)

Answer: Breast implant profile - HP or MP or MPP The best cosmetic result in any particular breast augmentation patient depends on a variety of factors, including: Your individual anatomy, desired outcome, realistic expectations, a thorough discussion with the plastic surgeon about the options, and an understanding of the pros and cons of any particular implant choice. Proper sizing is not just about the number of cc’s. The thickness of your tissue, breast dimensions which include the width, height, and projection, as well as chest wall width all need to be considered when choosing an implant. Trying on implant “sizers” of various shapes and volumes while wearing a tight t-shirt, bra, or bathing sit at a preoperative visit will help you and your surgeon choose the optimal implant. There are no manufacturers' standards for cup sizing in the bra industry. The cups of a 34 C-D and a 38 C-D are significantly different. Cup size varies from manufacturer to manufacturer and even within styles from any particular manufacturer. There is also no direct correlation between an implant size or shape and resultant cup size. Keep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedure would not be in your best interest. I would suggest that your plastic surgeon be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Robert Singer, MD FACS La Jolla, California

Answer: Breast Implant Sizing Hello, Almost everything you said in your post is incorrect. I'm sorry. 1. 'Natural' and 'Full' are the antithesis of each other; i.e. you can't have both, at least with implants alone. Most women end up happier with 'full' over 'natural', but that doesn't mean we should ignore those that really want a 'natural' appearing breast. 2.Height and weight are meaningless to proper implant sizing, which is based on a combination of determining anatomic capacity and a goal appearance in a mirror using sizers. The volume determined by sizing should never exceed your anatomic capacity as determined by biodimensional analysis. 3. Bra cup size should never be mentioned in breast augmentation planning; it is a meaningless, non-standardized designation to a garment that fits everyone differently based on subjective feelings. 4. BWD is being mentioned by everyone these days, but falls far short of true bio-dimensional analysis, and isn't even the most important of the five measurements. Unfortunately, many of my colleagues still think that if the implant diameter is the same or less than the BWD, than all will be good; it frequently isn't, so don't be fooled by the guy who wants to put that HP implant into you. 5. HP implants have the highest complication and reoperation rate of all implants. Go visit a few ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons who specialize in breast surgery and have at least a decade or two of experience. Some of us can offer you with confidence alternatives like hybrid augmentation (implant and fat grafting), shaped devices, and even yet-to-be-approved implants. Best of luck!
