Would you do two different implants as you can see one breast is larger? What projection? And what cc?
Answer: Breast augmentation size Those are very important questions. The answer to those questions is a bit more complex and depends on what factors are important to you. I always want to get to know my patients and understand exactly what types of changes they want to make. For example a more natural result typically involves a smaller implant. Without getting too technical when the implant is less than 50% of the total breast volume (native breast volume and implant volume combined) the result can look very natural. Larger than that can still look beautiful but in a more attention grabbing way, for example more upper pole fullness and roundness. I also want to know the style of breast the patient desires, for example I’ll use a more narrow and higher projecting implant for someone who wants a more narrow “athletic” look to the breast and a wider implant for someone who wants a more voluptuous look. I will routinely use different sized implants based on the breast volume. I also routinely use sizers in the office so patients can see the size of the result and also feel the weight of the implant to make sure its in alignment with their desires. The best news is that you can have whatever type of look you find most appealing. I think you would be an excellent candidate for a breast augmentation. Best wishes, Dr. Jan

Answer: Wanting D cup result Hello, it is important to realize that cup sizes aren't accurate because different bra companies use different measurements. It is better to consult with a plastic surgeon to determine what range of implants will fit your body based on your breast measurements, tissue thickness, skin tone and other factors. It is possible to improve symmetry to insert implants of different sizes but often there is still some difference because the implants don't perfectly correct the unique features of each breast.

Answer: Need to discuss with your surgeon It is important to have an open discussion with your surgeon about what size you want to be. Most offices will have sizers to try out in bra to get a generally feel of what size is most pleasing to you. Please also be aware the surgeon may recommend a breast lift in addition to the implants to get the most pleasing result for you. Make sure to research who does your procedure to ensure they have appropriate training to increase your chances of getting a good result.

Answer: Am I suitable for a breast augmentation? I’m currently a 32B and would like a D cup (Photo) None of the modalities to approximate final results from breast implants are 100% accurate; they merely facilitate the patient and the board certified PS concurring on the size and type of breast implant which will come the closest to reaching the patient's goal. My patients prefer to try on implant sizers under garments they typically wear (workout tops, bikini, tight sweater, low cut dress) to determine if they fit as expected and help allay some of their trepidation associated with this decision. I would recommend that you go with the size that boosts your self-esteem, and fits your anatomy. A very general estimate is that one cup size is 150 to 200 cc of volume, but realize that no direct correlation exists between the two. It's unlikely that you will notice a difference in increments less than 100. Implants of 600cc and higher will create more tissue thinning over time, have more potential for rippling, more potential for bottoming out, greater likelihood of breast lift revisions, etc.

Answer: Size Selection Good afternoon! I would probably select a 400cc HP Mentor MemoryGel implant for your larger side, and a 425cc HP Mentor MemoryGel implant for your smaller side, placed under the muscle, through a nipple or crease incision! Of course we will also measure your chest, review photos together, and I will have you try on the implant sizers here in the office to make the final determination!

Answer: Yes, you are a candidate for breast augmentation and different size implants if indicated. I recommend an in person evaluation by a plastic surgeon to be measured and discuss your goals. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of former patients with similar measurements. My patients tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what is right for them. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.
