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: Choosing implant size Thank you for your question. When choosing an implant size there are a few factors that have to be looked at. For example: Nipple to crease distance, width of the breast and diameter of the implants are a few to look at. I would suggest an in person evaluation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to evaluate you in person. I would also suggest seeing if they offer 3D imaging. This particular tool can help narrow down the type of implant and size that should be used. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Your Anatomy and Your Goals Depending on the individual anatomy and desired results of the patient, estimations and measurements should be made for them individually. The elements that form up the breast shape and size and the overall frame can be different in each person. It is best to consult a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in cosmetic breast surgery in person and discuss your goals and options after a physical examination.Hope this helps,Ali Rıza Öreroğlu, MD FEBOPRASEuropean and Turkish Board Certified Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive SurgeonIstanbul, Turkey

Answer: Are 335 cc high profile silicone implants too small? Breast implants are measured in cubic centimeters (ccs). One hundred seventy five to 200 ccs is the equivalent to a one-cup size increase. Each bra company calculates bra sizes differently, so using cup size alone as a parameter can lead to miscommunication between surgeon and patient. Did you try on a profile bra with various implant sizes under a tailored blouse, tight sweater, swimsuit, workout clothes, and other garments you typically wear so that you have the best idea of whether the garments fit as desired with the implant selected? I would recommend that you go with the size that boosts your self-esteem, and fits your anatomy. The difference between 335 and 355 will barely be noticeable.

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: Are 335 cc high profile silicone implants too small? The best cosmetic result in any particular breast augmentation patient depends on a variety of factors, including: Your individual anatomy, desired outcome, realistic expectations, a thorough discussion with the plastic surgeon about the options, and an understanding of the pros and cons of any particular implant choice. Proper sizing is not just about the number of cc’s. The thickness of your tissue, breastdimensions which include the width, height, and projection, as well as chest wall width all need to be considered when choosing an implant. Trying on implant “sizers” of various shapes and volumes while wearing a tight t-shirt, bra, or bathing sit at a preoperative visit will help you and your surgeon choose the optimal implant. There are no manufacturers' standards for cup sizing in the bra industry. The cups of a 34 C and a 38 C are significantly different. Cup size varies from manufacturer to manufacturer and even within styles from any particular manufacturer. Nor is there a direct correlation between implant shape or size and cup size. Keep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedure would not be in your best interest. I would suggest that your plastic surgeon be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Robert Singer, MD FACS La Jolla, California
