My BWD was measured at 12.1 cm. I want moderate, max moderate plus implants for a natural look. I want to be a full D cup and feel like 400cc would achieve this, but looking at size charts tells me I would need to go high profile for that.... Sientra implants feel the best to me, and it looks like the max I can get with Sientra Mod+ is 355cc. 300cc with Mentor mod+, and 310cc with Natrelle Mod. My pre op is 6 months away so id love a bit of guidance on this now :) included wish pics
Answer: Can I achieve a full D cup without high profile implants? Hi. I recommend and use a dimensional approach where the base width is the starting point, which is the diameter that will appropriately fit your chest wall. Then how large you want to go basically determines the implant volume needed to get you there. I then pick out profile based on all of that. I would guess, based on your pictures, that you would “need” a high profile implant to fit your chest wall properly. If you choose less projection than that, then you should expect more lateral fullness or “side boob”, as well as the implant extending higher up on the chest wall. I would recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon with good experience with breast implants and breast augmentation.Good luck and take care,Dr. Howell

Answer: Can I achieve a full D cup without high profile implants? (photo Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. Unfortunately there is no direct correlation between implant size and ultimate bra cup so I would focus on what implants size and profile will best approximate your goal results. At times for women with narrow chests an increase to full profile implants is needed to achieve their desired size.

Answer: Size and height Your surgeon, who has examined and measure you, will be the best one to guide to the best height and size for your frame and tissue. Moderate plus implants work well in most women.

Answer: Implant Sizing Stop thinking in terms of bra sizes, they are irrelevant and not a useful means of determining breast implant size. Instead, have your surgeon size you in the office to see how you want to look in the mirror. Keep in mind that you are a set up for a problem if you choose an implant size that your tissues cannot accommodate, specifically dropout/double bubble. Although everyone talks about BWD, it is not the only or most important measurement. Nipple to fold distance under stretch is crucial to biodimensional analysis, having a big impact on maximum implant volume; exceeding that volume will lead to complications. As for natural versus fake, the bigger the implant you use, the faker you'll look; there's just no way around that. Similarly, the higher the profile implant, the faker the look.
