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.

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.

   In general, the maximum size of the implant placed can be determined by chest wall measurements.  Then you can try on sizers in a bra to give you an idea of the volume you would like.   The profile can then be determined based upon the volume you would like.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

In order to make an accurate size recommendation, I would need to assess your chest wall and breast mound measurements and characteristics.  Unfortunately, there is not a general rule of thumb or objective criteria to implant selection.

Your plastic surgeon will perform several measurements of your chest wall and breast anatomy and determine a range of implants that both fit your chest wall and reach your desired goals.
The next step is to try on this range of implants in the office with your doctor.   The key to this success is showing your surgeon the body proportion you desire with a bra sizer and allowing your surgeon to guide you to the right implant.   It will be much easier to communicate in implant cc's than cup size when determining the appropriate implant for you.
I wish you a safe recovery and fantastic result.

Tubular breast deformity is a spectrum in which there is deficiency in the vertical and/or horizontal dimensions of the breast, usually characterized by underdevelopment of the breast and often herniation of breast tissue into the areola with accompanying dilation of the areola. Due to varying nature of the spectrum, there is no one size fits all answer.

The best method by which to chose the appropriate implant for your case would be through an in-person exam. In this way your anatomy and deformity could be evaluated to devise a solution comprising of the implant and the procedure or combinations thereof needed.

I hope this helps. Good luck.
