Hello i am a transsexual female with natural 36B cup boobs and considering breast implants but I want silicone because I cannot stand the way saline look and feel. I'm 235 lbs and 5" 10 and I want large breasts because it will make me feel more female. I was wondering if Im a good candidate for 700cc-800cc to help me reach a DD cup or larger?? I'll post pictures to help you guys see in your opinion, thanks!!! Xoxo
Answer: Transgender (Male to Female) Breast Augmentation and Implant Sizing On average, most of my transgender breast augmentation patients choose to go with implants that are larger than my patients with genetic female anatomy. Usually, but not always, my transgender patients have broader shoulders, a wider breast footprint, and are simply taller and more muscular.Therefore, going with a larger implant, in the realm of 700-800 cc can produce nice results and high patient satisfaction. In order to specifically answer your question, I'd have to actually examine you in person and take some breast measurements as well. AND, we find that having our patients do implant sizing here in our office is very beneficial. Definitely meet with a board certified plastic surgeon to find out more!

CONTACT NOW Answer: I'm a transgender and natural 36B, is 700-800cc silicone OK for me? Thank you for the question and pictures. Despite good intentions, online consultants will not be able to provide you with meaningful specific advice. Ultimately, in person consultation with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons will be necessary. Careful measurements, dimensional planning, and careful communication will be key. Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to transgender patients who are considering breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is: 1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you're looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work. 2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or "nothing below a C cup” etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. 3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery. I hope this (and the attached link, dedicated to transgender patient breast augmentation) helps.

Answer: Best Implant Size Determination MTF It is very difficult to determine the exact size and shape implant you will require to best match your ideal breast image without an examination by a board certified plastic surgeon. Not just any board certified plastic surgeon, but one with many years of frequently performing breast augmentation surgery including different approaches, techniques and implant choices. This is because several measurements not to mention your breast characteristics are needed to determine the optimal implant size to obtain your goals. Without knowing these dimensions it would be difficult to make this determination. For example, the existing base width of your breast will determine, in many cases, the maximal volume per implant profile that you can accommodate. To illustrate; a 100 cc difference may make a significant difference with a narrow base width breast, but much less of a difference if you have a wide chest wall and wide breast “foot print”. Therefore, just because your friend may have a great result with let’s say a 350 cc implant to make her go from a “A” cup to a “C” cup size does not mean that you will have the same result with the same size implant. . Further simply placing implants in a bra to determine the size best for you is not always accurate as the bra often distorts the size, is dependent on the pressure the bra places plus the implant is outside your breast and not under it among other variables. Computer software morphing programs that automatically determine the best implant size can be helpful in some but not all cases (e.g. doesn’t work well in my experience with existing implants, sagging or asymmetric breasts). Using “want to be” photos however are useful if simply provided to the surgeon as I will further explain in the link below.
