I'm 5'5, 104lbs, no kids, 30A, petite and athletic, I measure 10.5 in breast diameter. I want a natural look that's going to fit my body, preferably a full C. I have gone in for several consultations and I range from 235cc to 345cc based on my stats. Based on other girls my size, I'm thinking of going for 300cc moderate plus.

Answer: Is 300cc Moderate plus too big for your size? It is very difficult to determine the best procedure you will need (recommended based on your photos) or 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 300 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. The same process goes for just filling in the upper part of your breast without becoming much larger. 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 including silicone vs saline implants

Answer: Breast Augmentation - Size Selection Thank you for your question. "Tissue based planning" relies on your chest and breast measurements and is the safest way to ensure good long term results. Your surgeon should determine what size and projection are necessary to give you your desired result based on your body's measurements. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic breast surgery. Hope this helps and good luck with your surgery.

Answer: Is 300cc too large for your frame? Thank you for your question. It is hard to know if 300cc is too large without seeing a photo of you, as every patients measurements, heights and the appearance of their torso and rib cage, can affect the way that 300cc looks on one patient vs a different patient. In my practice, most women would like a 1-2 cup size of an increase with more upper pole fullness, which is generally between 300-450cc. Your surgeon should have sample implants for you to try on and get a better idea of what type of size would work best for you. Best of luck!
