I’m scheduled to get 335 cc high profile silicone implants. I’m currently a 34 AA-A, 130 lbs and want to be a small C. Should I go larger? Like 355? Will 335 be too small? Thanks.

Answer: Implant selection Great question! Its difficult to give any recommendations without photos or breast measurements, and each patients will be different. However, in general 200cc's is about 1 cup size so 335cc is about 1 3/4 cup size bigger than you are now. If you are AA-A and 130 you seem to be a smaller patient so it could provide you with 2 cup sizes even. It is best to review with your surgeon and try on implants so that you have an idea of the ideal size.Best of luck and hope this information helps! - Dr. Roger Tsai @DrRogerTsai Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Implant size Dear Gentle7496, breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.
