375cc high profile silicone implant appropriate for small petite frame? (Photo)

Your concerns are very common especially for women who are thin or petite. This range of implants is the
most common in my practice since most of my patients want to be able to wear a
C cup bra. If you are narrow chested,
HP implants will give you the projection you want without being too big on the
sides under your arms. I would advise you to look at your surgeon's before and
after photos to find body shapes that are similar to yours and see what size
implants have been used to achieve their results. In my practice, we allow patients during their consultation to try on different implant sizes to get an idea of how they look on their own body. During the preoperative appointment, patient try on implants again within the recommended and desired range. Implants come in many sizes and shapes, and your board-certified Plastic Surgeon should be able to recommend the appropriately sized implant. Some surgeons use 3D imaging (which does not guarantee results), but the best way to see how an implant looks is to actually spend time trying on the implants as well as choosing to have surgery with a surgeon who has a wealth of experience.Good luck with your surgery!

The best
cosmetic result in any particular breast augmentation patient depends on a
variety of factors, including: Your individual anatomy, 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 32 C and a 38 C are significantly different. Cup size varies from
manufacturer to manufacturer and even within styles from any particular
manufacturer.

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.
