Your opinion/comments of my choice of implants low profile (mini)? Selected Motiva Ergonomix 160cc mini profile.

Question

I am 1m48/40kg. Breast size: 80cm A cup/breasts base: 11.25cm I do not wish to increase necessarily in cup size but get more fullness in my breast. I selected Motiva Ergonomix 160cc mini profile (Motiva chart: advised for 10cm base). The surgeon wanted initially to go for 220cc but I felt it was looking way too big! He told me that by selecting a smaller base of breast implant, there is a risk of loose skin. Do you have experience in using a smaller breast implant base than the natural body breast base?

Hi,
this is a very difficult area and it is a big decision to make in advance of expensive surgery
you may have already done this, but its best to test the implant size - it is difficult to simulate exactly how you might look after surgery but you can get an idea of how this might change your figure in clothes. chose quite a soft bra (without shaped cups) and measure dried rice into stockings (you can try 160cc and 220cc and any other amount that suits you but remember to measure liquid volume 'cc' or 'ml' when you use your kitchen measuring jug).  insert the rice filled stockings into the bra cups and shape them around your breast.......try on your favourite clothes - casual close / going out clothes / sportswear / swim wear etc and see what suits you.  as a rule of thumb, every 140cc approximately increases you by a cup size.  Without examining you, I can't comment on whether your breasts might be 'baggy' with a 160cc implant but I do think that this is quite a small implant (250-350 is usually the range that patients will choose) and you may feel that you have gone through the ordeal and expense of surgery for quite a small effect.
Whatever size you choose,  hope your operation is successful for you.
