I am a 26 year old female with no children. I am 5’7 and 165 pounds. I have had two consultations and am currently trying to decide between 450-500cc implants. I am leaning towards 500 because everyone I’ve talked to always regrets they didn’t go bigger. The dr suggested high profile because my chest is on the narrow side.
Answer: Implant selection Great question! Depending on your goals and desire, 500cc silicone high profile implants can be a good look for you. Choosing an implant depends on your chest dimensions as well as your goals, so it is difficult to assess what the correct size should be for you in this forum as we cannot assess your measurements. But 500cc high profile does sounds reasonable for someone of your height and weight.Best of luck and hope this information helps! - Dr. Roger Tsai @DrRogerTsai Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

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

Answer: Size The implant selection should be based on a combination of your desired size, soft tissue dynamics, breast base diameter and skin elasticity. I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with. Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS), a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach TrainedDouble Board-Certified, Double Fellowship-Trained Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Are 500cc silicone high profile implants too big for me? Without photos it is impossible to answer your question. The choice of the most appropriate implant for you should be made by your surgeon at the time of the procedure. It is your job to accurately relay your goals to your surgeon and it is the surgeon's job to do their best to come as close as possible depending on your anatomy. The experienced plastic surgeon has the expertise to make these decisions based on your goal of size and shape. I have my patients look and try on bras in the cup they hope to be so they understand what larger cup sizes may look like on them and also bring in photos from magazines or websites of their ideal post-op result. See an experienced plastic surgeon and allow them to make the medical decisions.
