Hi Docs- I am attaching 3 pictures of my breasts from different angles. I'm probably a small A cup. Given the lack of breast tissue, if I came in for a consultation, what would you suggest? I ideally would like to have a large C, small D round breast that sit higher but not up to my chin. I want a natural look (silicone and under muscle only), but I do still want a teeeeeeny bit of an augmented round and teardrop shape. I am thinking 350 CCs at mod+ profile or so.. Thank you in advance!
Answer: Which implant The first step is to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon near you. During this meeting you'll learn about the procedure, discuss your goals for surgery, and have measurements taken of your breasts. These measurements are different than bra sizing. Your surgeon will combine the measurements with your stated goals to help you select a range of implants to consider. Many have sample implants available that you can "try on" to give you an idea of how you may look after surgery. I've included a video on this process that I hope you find helpful.

Answer: C/D cup Thank you for your inquiry! At you consultation appointment, you should have the opportunity to try on different implant sizes. We always recommend taking a couple different shirts to see how you will look in your clothes. We would love to sit down with you to discuss your options and answer any questions.

Answer: Moderate profile Thanks for your question! Based on what you are describing, I think you will be happiest with a moderate profile of a moderate size. I would stick with a smooth, round implant to keep youthful upper pole fullness without being too round and fake. Good luck!

Answer: Breasts First you say you want a C-D cup and then you say you want "teeeeeeny bit" of augmented look. I suggest meeting with a plastic surgeon, being measured and examined, and trying on the range of sizes that best fits your frame and tissue. Then, you can actually see and feel what you like.

Answer: Implant size It is a little more complicated than just choosing an implant size. Here is why. You have some asymmetry that would need to be corrected by lowering the left infra-mammary fold as you have a shorter distance from your nipple to the fold on the left compared to the right breast so this distance would have to be increased by lowering the left fold. It may not be possible to increase your breast to a size D based on the quality of your tissue. You would really need to be examined in order to say for sure but keep in mind that there needs to be enough stretch and laxity of your breast tissue and skin to allow for a significant change in size and sometimes in patients with very tight tissue it is not possible to change from an A to a D. In some patients that can be done without any issue and in other patients with tighter tissue it is harder to accomplish. I would lean on your plastic surgeon to help guide you in size selection as there are a lot of factors to consider in addition to the width of your breast.

Answer: Choosing the right size and profile breast implants for you After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts 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. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what is right for them.
