my BA is scheduled in a month. My PS is recommending 350 round silicone. I am worried it might be too big on me. Although I would like to gain as much volume as I can, I would like to do so without having a bulgy upper pole. I want a smooth natural looking upper pole and cleavage area with a round implant. I was thinking between 280-300. Deciding between HP and MP profile. Definitely leaning towards MP though. I’ve breast fed and currently have a very small A cup. thank you in advance.
Answer: Size and Profile Selection Good afternoon, The best way to pick a size and profile is to take several different types of tops to your PS office and try on the implant sizers- take a friend or your SO- and spend some real time there with different outfits trying them on, talking it over, and deciding.

Answer: 28y/o 5’6ft 115lbs... what is the ideal implant size for my body type? CCs? HP or MP? (Photo) Thank you for your question and photographs. I think you are starting from an excellent position and should anticipate a nice result. Breast implant selection is an exciting, but stressful part of the breast augmentation process as there are so many choices. Unfortunately it is impossible to recommend the best implant style, size or shape without an in-person examination that allows for the measurement of key breast parameters, as well as permits an in-depth discussion as to your desired goals and outcome. I would recommend seeing additional board certified plastic surgeons to ensure that the implants you decide upon are the right ones to meet your expectations. Based on your goal images it would be better to go with a MP over a FP. Best wishes!

Answer: Implant size and type Dear AmiGerber, 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.

Answer: 28y/o 5’6ft 115lbs... what is the ideal implant size for my body type? CCs? HP or MP? (Photo) A board certified plastic surgeon will be able to guide you to the correct size implant. Based upon measurements of your chest wall and breast imprint width as well as knowledge of all breast implant sizes and profiles should make this process easy. Try on a profile bra with various silicone cc sizers (300 and 350 for comparison) your PS recommends under a tailored blouse, tank top, bikini, 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. Select the size that boosts your self-esteem, and fits your anatomy. The 350cc breast implant is the most popular size for women in the US.

Answer: Choosing the right size and profile breast implants for you. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. 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. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.
