What size would be best for me? I am 5"4, 117 pounds and my body measurements are 32A- 24- 37.

Hi Christina,Thanks for posting your question. I am happy to try and help you. It is important to remember that a board certified plastic surgeon will be your best resource when it comes to an accurate assessment of your situation, and concerns.Having said that, thank for your height and weight and breast size estimates, they do help. There is really no way to accurately predict what size you would like without an examination. During your examination and consultation, you should try on some sample sizes and see what you are comfortable with. Then the PS can help explain with the size and current condition of your breasts and what to expect. As a general estimate, for my natural look augmentations, you are looking in the high 200 to mid 300cc.I hope you found this helpful.  Have a great day.

Thank you for your question. I recommend that you seek a board certified Plastic Surgeon who specialises in this procedure and who's before and after photos appeal to you. After discussing your expectations and taking measurements, your surgeon will be able to provide a small range of sizes based on dimensional breast augmentation which takes into account your breast measurements and desired look. I recommend that you try on the sizers in office to get a feel for how they look in clothing. Because the implant sizes increase by only a couple mm and 20-30 ccs in volume, a very precise fit can be found for you and guessing would be only a ballpark. All the best

I appreciate your question.

The size of implant is dictated by your
chest wall measurements.

The type of implant depends on what you
want to achieve.

Silicone will give you a fullness at the
top (upper pole fullness).

Silicone implants come pre-filled with a
silicone gel and are the softest implant available. They feel more natural,
which makes them a good option for women with less natural breast tissue; but
they require a larger incision. It may be more difficult to realize if this
type of implant has ruptured, so it is important to monitor them with annual
follow-up visits. Additionally, because this implant contains a more liquid
silicone (less cross-linked), if this implant should rupture, it will leak only
into the scar capsule formed around the implant but may cause some discomfort
or implant distortion.

Anatomic gummy bear implants might be a
good choice to give you volume.

These highly-sought-after, anatomic
implants offer a look that more closely resembles the natural silhouette of a
breast, and, therefore, are a very attractive option for individuals seeking a
natural-looking, aesthetic primary breast augmentation. Additionally, these
implants are an especially excellent option for patients undergoing restorative
or corrective breast surgery because they provide more stability, shape, and
reduced incidence of capsular contracture. Compared to other types of silicone
gel implants, the silicone in the cohesive gel implant is more cross-linked;
therefore, should the implant shell “rupture,” it maintains its shape and
silicone does not leak.

During your breast augmentation
consultation, you should feel the different types of implants available,
and try on various implant sizers in front of a mirror to help you to get an
idea of how you will look following the surgery. You should also bring pictures
of the look you would like to achieve, as well as a favorite top to wear when
trying on implant sizers.



The best way to assess and give true
advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified plastic
surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.



best of luck!
