Hello! I'm having a really hard time deciding on a good size for my breast augmentation and I have to decide in a little less than a month! I am going to do moderate plus profile and my PS said I could do 385cc-505cc that would look best for my frame. I'm scared of going too big or too little. I am 5'8, 160lbs (although my goal is to lose 10 more lbs) and I am starting with 34b. We did a 3D photo and I still am having a hard time. Any advice?
Answer: Implant selection Implant selection is a complex process that is best done in person. Measurements of your breast width are taken and combined with your surgical goals to help find the best implant for you. I encourage you to return to your surgeon's office for further discussion. Many times there are sample implants available for you to "try on" to give you an idea of how you may look after surgery.

Answer: Choosing the right size and profile breast implants for you After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants, and they choose what looks right for them. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: Mini lift with fat transfers or small implants At size 34, each 100 cc of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. 500 cc implants will take you up 5 cup sizes and will not fit underneath the muscle. Augmentation alone will not be enough, you will need a lift. The technique I recommend is a mini lift. Using a circumareola incision, your breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. At the same time, fat transfers or small implants can be placed totally submuscular.

Answer: Size I would suggest going back to your surgeon and trying on the sizes so you can actually see the size and feel the weight. I do think the 505 cc implants will be too large and heavy for your neck and shoulders.

Answer: Breast augmentation Hi, thank you for sharing your question. The decision on implant sizing is a personal one and with the guidance of your surgeon, you are the only one can make that choice. Your specific anatomy may preclude certain options but discuss your preference with your doctor.
