I am really petite. Standing at 5ft, 90lb, with a ribcage of 26 and 30 bandwidth. My BA is in one week and my PS recommend me with 225cc Mentor silicone, under the muscle. I'm still very undecided about the size. Don't know if I should go bigger with a 250cc. Question is, will I be in a full B or Med B with a 225cc? And do you think I should go with 225cc or 250cc based on my body frame. Keep in mind, I am going for a natural look, no where like a C cup.
Answer: Implant size for petite frame
Based on the photos, I think either one will work. Because you have very narrow chest wall and very little breast tissues, selecting the right fit and profile of the implant is more critical than the volume of the implant. If you like really smooth upper pole profile then choose moderate profile implant and pick smaller of the two. If you are looking for fuller B cup then the larger one will do. Both will look quite nice on you, just a matter of personal taste and refinement of what you seeking.
Best Wishes,

Answer: Breast Surgery I think the difference between those two implants is so small you could never tell the difference so choose the bigger one!

Answer: 225 cc or 250 cc Implant Placed Under the Muscle
If there is a question about size go with the bigger size when the implant is placed under the muscle. 25 cc will not be noticeable at any rate. Kenneth Hughes, MD HughesPlasticSurgery, Los Angeles, CA

Answer: Best Breast Implant Size/Profile for Me?
As you can imagine, despite your good description of body type and goals, it is not possible to give you precise advice online.
The best online advice I can give to ladies ( in regards to best breast implant size/profile) who are considering revisionary breast augmentation surgery is:
1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you're looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.
2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals.
In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “ natural” or “B cup” etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate.
3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery.
I hope this (and the attached link) help.

Answer: What size?
Thanks for this question. Both sizes mentioned are within the ballpark to achieve a solid augmentation. The bigger you go, then the less likely it will look natural, specially with your small breasts. The final cup is better determined after examination and seeing your natural shape. May I suggest you think about using a volume sizing system (VSS) will help you feel more comfortable deciding from your choices. Discuss this with your PS. Best wishes, Dr. Aldo.

Answer: Deciding on the size of implants before breast augmentation
Hello.
Thank you for sharing your pre-op photos.
A difference of 25cc (225 or 250) is about table spoon and should not make a bold difference even on a small frame like yours.
With that perspective, the subpectoral implants advantages are many especially if you are after the "natural" look.
That being said, please remember that commendable results require an exceptionally skilled surgeon to perform the surgery and settling for anything less than that increases the chances of additional corrective surgeries dramatically.
I hope this helps and please feel free to check the website below.
Thank you for your inquiry.
The best of luck to you.
