I am trying to decide on what size implants to go with. I am 6ft and currently 180lbs, bra size 36B. I am wanting to go with a moderate increase. However much of what I read implies that I will need a bigger implant to get much increase. Using sizers I'm considering between 400 and 500cc. What size an I likely to get? And is my size likely throwing off the sizers?
Answer: Breast Implant Sizing Thank you for your question. Sizing during your pre-operative appointment will give you a pretty accurate estimate as to what you will look like after your breast augmentation procedure. This method is not perfect; however, your size should not throw off the sizers at all.

Answer: Breast implant size Hello, Thank you for the question. Based on your photos, you appear to be a good candidate for subglandular (above the muscle) breast augmentation which can help correct slightly lower nipple position on you and give you a fuller cleavage that you desire. Implant size discussion and implant selection is one of the most important steps during your consultation with plastic surgeon. The decision-making process depends on patient’s desires, as well as breast and soft tissue dimensions. 450-500cc size implant will likely give you a full cleavage that you desire. I would encourage you to seek a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to further discuss your options, specific techniques, concerns and expectations. I hope this helps.Best regards, Dr. Karanetz Dr. Irena KaranetzBreast Fellowship-TrainedBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Your initial choice seems reasonable 400-500 cc implants will generally add around 2 cup sizes. The choice of implant is determined by combining your goals for size and the appearance of the breasts with a detailed assessment of your height/weight, breast dimensions, and chest width. In our practice, we encourage patients to bring in photos of breasts that they like and to spend time putting implants in their bra and deciding on the size and shape during the consultation. You should find an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon, who you can trust and can guide you through the decision-making process.

Answer: Breast augmentation thank you for your question. It is difficult to tell without measurements what size implants would be best for you. Somewhere between a three and 400 mL implants will give you a moderate increase. Approximately 2 cup sizes. 500 mL implants is going to make a dramatic difference. Based on your picture, your breast size is slightly asymmetric and may require two different size implants. The best thing that you can do it is to establish your goals and try to get on the absolute same page as your plastic surgeon so that he or she may deliver the results you are seeking. Good luck.

Answer: Contemplating size The best place to begin is a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon near you. During this visit you will learn more about the procedure, be examined including measurements of your breasts, and discuss your surgical goals. Many surgeons have sample implants you can "try on" to get an idea of how you may look after surgery. There are many things to consider when selecting an implant other than volume. You and your surgeon will also discuss type, style, and profile. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.
