I’m still undecided about the size. I don’t want to have significantly larger breasts, just some more fullness. My BWD is 8.5 (!!) so my doctor says the widest I can go is ~9.5. I’ve tentatively decided on the Naturelle UHP 240 9.6 diameter, 4.3 projection. I’m worried these may be bigger than I’d like, and am worried about the projection. Should I go for something smaller, like a Mentor HP 200 (9.7 : 4.0) or a Naturelle style 20 180cc (9.6 : 3.8)?

Answer: Best breast implants for me? I would share your concerns, given your personal goals, that the use of ultra high profile breast implants may not be ideal in your case.My best advice: more communication. It is definitely worth spending more time (prior to the date of surgery) with your plastic surgeon to discuss further. As you know, it will be important for many reasons, that you feel comfortable that you and your plastic surgeon are on the "same page" prior to proceeding. Ultimately, careful communication of your goals (in my practice I prefer the use of goal pictures, direct examination/communication in front of a full-length mirror, in bra sizers, and computer imaging) as well as careful measurements (dimensional planning) will be critical. Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies 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 are 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. For example, I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or "more fulness” 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. Again, the use of computer imaging has been very helpful during the communication process, in our practice. 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, after the use of temporary intraoperative sizers. I hope this helps. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.

Answer: Implant sizing and type Thank you for your question. It sounds like you have gotten some expert advice from your specialist plastic surgeon, and so I recommend that you continue talking with them to determine the right size and projection for your implants. Your surgeon has examined you and measured you, and has the sizers to try on, so they are truly the best resource for making this decision. It ultimately comes down to what you are comfortable with, and trusting that your surgeon will give you the right guidance to achieve the best possible results. Good luck!
