Hello, I’ve always considered my breast too small for my frame. I was suggested 400cc implants would go well with my frame. I would just like another opinion on what profile, and how many cc’s would suit me before I get the surgery. I’m 5’6, 133 lbs, rib cage 30” around and 13 wide, my shoulder width is 16, BWD 13cm. Im 33-28-42 and my breast tissue is 220cc left and 290cc right. I want sub-muscular, round, silicone implants. I’m affraid 400cc would be too big.

Answer: Picking Implant Size Thanks for your question and posting photos for reference. It is difficult to tell what size implant would be recommended for someone based on photos alone. An in person exam is necessary to understand the patient's tissues and anatomy. That being said, based on your base width measurements, a variety of implant sizes may fit you well but it depends on the type of look you are going for. The most useful thing may be to try on implants in the office to "size" yourself and see what you like best. That is usually most helpful, though some offices also do 3D sizing with a computer simulation and that can also be quite helpful. Best is to try on as many different sizes as necessary in order to get comfortable with choosing which size you like the best. Then, based on your measurements the surgeon should be able to pick out a size which matches your anatomy and goals the best. Best wishes, Rohit Jaiswal, MD Plastic Surgeon; Las Vegas, NV

Answer: Breast Augmentation and Sizing Thank-you for your question. Choosing the correct breast implants may seem overwhelming due to the options available for implant material (silicone or saline), placement (under or over the muscle), implant size and shape. Treatment plans are individualized for each patient based on findings during the consultation to meet your goals. Selecting the correct implant size and shape is among the most important decisions in a successful breast augmentation procedure. Placement of the identical implant will not produce the same results in all patients due to differences in: 1.Dimensions of the breast 2.Diameter of the chest 3.Volume of breast tissue 4. Height and weight 5. Breast shape, including breast ptosis and asymmetry I rely on 3 methods to advise my patients: 1. Dimensional planning 2. Gel implant sizing 3. 3-Dimensional Vectra imageing system. At the time of consultation, measurements are taken allowing for dimensional planning to select the implant which best fits the base diameter of the breast. Gel implant sizing is performed to allow you to visualize augmentation the with the various sized implants. Vectra 3-D imaging has been a very important method in my practice in selecting the correct implant size and shape as it allows you to see what you will look like following augmentation with any of the available implants. I would recommend a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Best regards, Andrew Lyos MD, FACS
