I am currently a 32B, I'm 5'1" and weight about 129lbs. I have hips and a booty. I am looking to increase 2 cup sizes without looking overly done. I have a small frame and my dr in recommending 450cc high profile silicones for a natural look. Is that a good size? My concern is not to look too heavy is a dress shirt?

Answer: Small frame for breast augmentation From the description of your body size, using a 450 cc implant may be too big and give you an unnatural appearance. It really depends on your native breasts, and how loose they are now. Photos would be helpful.

Answer: Implant selection that is best for you Hello Petite Mommy and thank you for your question! I want to start off by telling you what I tell many of my patients: Do not focus on cc's or bra sizes as many women see their friend with "x" number of cc implants etc and think that they have an idea of what they want. There is a lot that goes into implant selection -- your breast volume, the amount of cleavage you want to achieve, your base width, your rib shape/projection, etc. Without seeing you and doing your measurements, it is difficult to assess accurately your final breast size or shape. Please also keep in mind that when it comes to bra sizes, most women are not accurately sized for their bras. The most important thing to consider is really the size and look that is appealing to YOU with the implants you choose. Many surgeons have sizing models whether using bras with implants or computer simulation. I encourage you to discuss with your surgeon many of these considerations when deciding which implant and size to use during your surgery. Additionally, a breast implant is a round object and has a certain diameter. Your base width on each side of your chest will determine "how big of a ball" or what diameter implant you can reliably go up to with a socially acceptable cosmetic outcome. The implant will "augment" or increase the size of your breasts to an amount acceptable to you and your surgeon. There is no direct correlation with height and weight and base width and you will need to know your personal measurement for the most accurate advice. I have found great success having my patients try on a sports bra and then we pick the implants based on their measured breast base width. If your base width were to support for example up to a 500cc implant, I would have you try on the 500cc implants in the bra and then the 485cc or 450cc implants and afterwards select the implant that made YOU the happiest. In reality, don't stress too much as this is not a HUGE difference and should be the fun part of the process. Go with what is acceptable based on your measurements and makes you happiest and make sure to weigh the pros and cons of the options you are considering. You can also compare the moderate profile with high profile implants and see which look you like most. The profile of the implant will determine how much upper pole fullness and overall projection you portray. In my opinion, in a young patient like yourself, high profile implants will give the breasts a nice shape for augmentation. Make sure to seek consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in aesthetic breast surgery. I hope this helps answer your question and best of luck to you. Sincerely, Dr. Sean Kelishadi
