I am 25 years old, 120lbs, 31 but wear 32B, 12cm bwd. What size and profile should I get to have 32C and what size and profile to be 32D? One doctor recommended 339 Mod+ and another one 300 HP... I want to look as natural as possible but be no larger than 32D (Victoria secret size).
Answer: Implant Selection Thank you for your question. It is much better to accurately discuss implant volume and projection with an in office exam and detailed measurements. In order to make an accurate size recommendation, I would need to assess your chest wall and breast mound measurements/characteristics. I use these measurements to help me during the sizing process to guide you to a safe result for your chest wall and just as important, one that meets your end desires.The next step is to try on this range of implants in the office with your doctor. The key to this success is showing your surgeon the body proportion you desire with a bra sizer and allowing your surgeon to guide you to the right implant. It will be much easier to communicate in implant cc's than cup size when determining the appropriate implant for you during the sizing process. In addition, review of photos and use of rice bags can be very helpful to the patient and surgeon in achieving a safe and happy result. Close intereaction and involvement from your surgeon during this process can help alleviate the anxiety and fears of choosing the right size. I wish you a safe recovery and fantastic result.Dr. Gill

Answer: Implant sizing Thanks for your question. Without examining you, it is difficult to give you an exact size recommendation. Usually 100-150cc will increase one cup size. Provided that you are truly 32B with 12cm BD, mod+ mid-200s will give you 32C and high profile mid-300s will give you 32 D. If you want to be natural, you would like mod+ profile. I recommend my patients not to worry too much about cup sizes. You have to like the "look" of the desired size. As you know, depending on brand and styles of bra, the cup size varies. Please bring a photo of your desired look to your plastic surgeon. In addition, try the implant sizers during your visit. Best wishes! - Dr. Kim
