I had a consult for a BA last week. My current stats are 5’3”, 147lb 36b/36c bra size. I was measured at 11.7cm chest and recommended for 250cc low profile, 275cc moderate profile, or 350cc high profile gel implants UTM. I was told I couldn’t go higher than 350cc or they’d stick out the sides. I was hoping for 400-450cc. Should I get a second opinion?

Answer: Have I been sized correctly for a Breast Augmentation or should I get a second opinion? (photos) Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. Breast implant selection is an exciting, but stressful part of the breast augmentation process as there are so many choices. Unfortunately it is impossible to recommend the best implant style, size or shape without an in-person examination that allows for the measurement of key breast parameters, as well as permits an in-depth discussion as to your desired goals and outcome. I would recommend continuing to discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon or seek additional consultations to ensure that the implants you decide upon are the right ones to meet your expectations. Best wishes!

Answer: Considering 2nd opinion for breast augmentation surgery Thank you for your question. It is never a bad option to seek a second opinion prior to having a cosmetic surgery procedure if your goals do not align with your surgeon's advice. That stated, it is important to take into consideration your own anatomy when choosing breast implants. Picking implants that are larger/wider than your breast dimensions can increase the risk of rippling, palpability, numbness and other problems. You will get the best advice from a surgeon who has done an in-person examination including measurements, since only limited information can be obtained from a photo.
