I am 5'7", weigh 165 pounds. Curvy hips and thighs. Age 49 and I wear a 36c. Should I get 400cc-450cc, or 350cc-390cc? (Photo)

Hi there, thank you for your question. If you want to have full C cup size, moderate profile implants between 350 to 390 cc would be the best choice for you.

Hello. Choosing your implant size is an important decision and unfortunately not something anyone can accurately give advice on in a virtual format. Meeting with a surgeon (or multiple surgeons for multiple opinions) in person is the best way to determine what is best for your body. Try finding a surgeon in your area that offers 3D Imaging. With 3D Imaging you can see an image of your own body with different implant sizes to give you a better feel for what the outcome of your surgery may look like. That can be very helpful when making a decision on implant size.

Hello, thank you for your question. Your board certified plastic surgeon will be able to guide you to the correct size implant. Based upon measurements of your chest wall and breast imprint width as well as knowledge of all breast implant sizes and profiles should make this process easy. Try on a profile bra with various silicone cc sizers your PS recommends under a tailored blouse, tank top, bikini, workout clothes, and other garments you typically wear so that you have the best idea of whether the garments fit as desired with the implant selected. Select the size that boosts your self-esteem, and fits your anatomy. Choosing an implant based on an aesthetic goal that exceeds your anatomic capacity may lead to complications and possibly revision.

After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of former patients with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. My patients tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size breast implant is right for them. They also get to see what they would look like when the implants 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. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Good afternoon!

You look like a B to me right now, and a 400-450cc augmentation is likely to put you in a D cup bra, so sounds like you may be right- your implants should probably be in the mid to high 300s- in my office I would measure your chest, we would review photos together, and you would have an opportunity to try on the implant sizers- this combination approach is really the best way to choose your correct implant size and profile to achieve your goals!
