I'm 5'2, 125lbs, 26yrs, and 32C/D, and scheduled for a lift and implants. I am concerned that too large of implants will casuse me to look like I have gained weight and make running uncomfortable or difficult. The surgeon stated that if I just got the life I would be come a Bcup, but post-op I would like to be a small D. The surgeon suggest I get 400cc silicone implants under the muscle. Is that too large and will a 400cc implant create premature sagging?

Answer: Breast Implants and Breast Lifts
Hello BrittanyRunning,
At 5'2'' with a 32 C/D to start, 400 cc implants will undoubtedly make you look top heavy, and probably just heavier in general. Being a runner, I can hardly imagine you will feel comfortable with that size.
Unfortunately, I can not recommend another size without a thorough examination. However, I could guess it would be closer to 300cc. It might not be a bad idea to get a second opinion.
Best of luck!

Answer: Picking your implant size
There are several variables in determining implant size. When recommending implant size for my patients, I consider the followings: 1) patients' anatomy (height, weight, chest width, chest height, amount of breast tissue) and 2) patients' desired look/goal. Without knowing your chest measurement and breast tissue amount, I cannot give you any recommendation. You should visit with board-certified plastic surgeon who will examine you. Try implant sizers to get a rough estimate of the size you may want. As you know, bra/cup size will vary depending on the brand. Good luck with you.
