Hello! I’m a 20 year old, 5’0 tall, 115 pounds . I have my surgery this week and decided on 400cc moderate plus implants under the muscle. I know feel like this is way to big for me and wondering if I should switch to 350cc. Having a lot of anxiety about picking the wrong size and ending up with too large of breasts for my body type . I am now a 32a

Answer: Breast augmentation, 350-400cc Hello and thank you for your question. The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. It would be helpful to know your individual breast measurements in order to determine if 350 or 400cc would be a better choice for you. The size, profile, and shape of the implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. FACS Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: You Are Absolutely Correct Hello,400 cc implant will not only look really big on your 5 foot frame (but that's a matter of taste, and not what is crucial to me as a surgeon), but they will likely exceed your anatomic soft tissue limit, leading to complications and reoperation. Your surgeon should size you (it's not just breast base width or BWD) to confirm anatomic capacity, and you should use sizers in the mirror to determine your anatomic goal, if achievable. Best of luck!
