What is a Good Breast Size for Me? I Am 5'8''/5'9'' and Weigh 132 Pounds Medium Frame.

 it is not possible to determine the size that will be best for you based on your height and weight. Implant selection is best performed in office what the surgeon and patient communicating goals, needs and limitations. Positions with 3-D modeling systems such as the Vectra  can demonstrate with your implants will look like with a simulation. When it comes to tumors breasts sometimes tissue expansion may be needed in a two-stage procedure. With the first stage being placed out of the tissue expanders and expansion of the tissue to your desired size. The second stage is exchange of the Sizer for a permanent implant.

Thank you for the question.

Without direct physical examination or viewing pictures, it is not possible to give you precise advice. Tuberous ( constricted) breasts  present in a variety of “shapes and sizes”.  Surgical treatment may differ depending on your specific physical examination and goals.

 I would suggest that you do your due diligence and select your plastic surgeon carefully. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work helping patients in your situation. Then, communicate your goals clearly ( as to what types of breaths you find attractive).   In my practice, I find the use of goal pictures helpful during this communication process.

Also during this communication process, your plastic surgeon will be able to guide you as to what it may take to achieve your goals. A discussion about realistic expectations may also be in order.

Hello. The most important factors for determining the size of implants that could be used on a patient include width of the base of the breast, the size of your thorax and the amount of breast tissue and skin you have. Without this information or a personal consultation it is impossible for me to decide what implant you can have. Tuberous breasts may need additional surgery to correct but again, it is impossible to determine from the information given. I would recommend a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for more information.
