Breast augmentation. I'm an A cup I would like to be in between a B&C cup.I'm 90lbs 5ft.

Based on your photos, I suspect that either 300cc or 350cc would look good, although an in-person examination is necessary in order to provide the best recommendations. In my experience, photos are helpful to illustrate your goal appearance, after which I can try to match that appearance as best as possible. For you, I would plan to take implants ranging in size from 300cc to 350cc to the operating room, then insert a "sizer" implant during surgery to best determine which implant size will provide the closest match to your goals in YOUR body, since implants can have a somewhat different effect in each person. I would then be able to select the implant that would most likely give you the look you want. In truth, a difference of 25 or 35 cc is not really noticeable to patients or to doctors, but we could also test a 325cc implant during surgery if you'd like. Best of luck!

It is very difficult to determine the best implant 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:

 When choosing the size of the implants, we combine a proven formula based on measurements of the breasts and chest along with through discussions of patient's desires. Photos of ideal breasts and results from patients with similar breasts are often very helpful in the discussion. Breast augmentation is a very powerful technique in the right hands, and can have dramatic results in a variety of breasts types. Most important is a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon regarding this procedure. Don’t settle for less!

Hello 'kim092193', thanks for your question.  I would recommend that you go with the size that is comfortable for you and do not let anyone else, including your surgeon, tell you what size you need to be.  If you are going for a B or C cup, I would say the 300cc is too large for you, especially with your petite frame.  Implants range from around 100-800cc, and there are different styles and shapes to accommodate all different body types, including taller and larger framed women.  If you wish to stay conservative, I think you can achieve your goals with a 200-250cc range implant.  Be sure to see a board-certified plastic surgeon for your surgery, and feel free to give my office a call for an appointment for a second opinion.  Good luck!-Dr.92660

Breast Implant Size is a combination of subjective and objective criteria.There is not a direct correlation between the cc's of a breast implant and the corresponding cup size, as cup size is an inexact measurement that varies considerably among companies and even within the same company. Online consultants will not be able to guide you as well as surgeons who perform in person consultation.The size of the implants are based on a combination of a patient's goals and objectives and her anatomy. In order to provide a natural looking augmentation, the surgeon needs to evaluate many factors including soft tissue coverage, skin laxity, chest wall width, breast imprint width, the shape of the breasts and relative level of constriction to ensure that the breast implants are appropriate for your body.Consult in person with 3 experienced and expert board certified plastic surgeons to understand your options.
