Hi my surgery is coming up but I’m still undecided on implant size. My bwd is 10 I want a very natural subtle look and have settled on saline moderate (don’t want silicone). My doctor is advising 275 filled to 300cc in saline but I’m scared it’s too big as the diameter is bigger then my bwd by 1.5cm almost. Will it look too wide and tall? Would appreciate other opinions on what saline implant size would be the most natural for my proportions - ie what range and overfill. Thank you!
Answer: Thanks for your question and photos. It is normal to be anxious close to surgery and start second guessing yourself. My advice to you is to relax, and trust your surgeon. None of us can truly render a meaningful opinion without examining you, and your surgeon has done so. To reassure yourself, make sure you share your photos of your "ideal" appearance with your surgeon. He or she will use those photos as a guideline in surgery. You do have some asymmetry so it is likely that your will require asymmetric fill volumes, and possibly two different BWD implants. One other implant option for you to consider and perhaps discuss with your plastic surgeon is the IDEAL implant (also saline filled). Best of luck to you.

Answer: Implant size and type Dear Kanora,Breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.Daniel Barrett, MD

Answer: Best breast implants for me? Thank you for the question and pictures. Based on your photographs, I think that you are starting at a good place and should have a very nice outcome with breast augmentation surgery. There seems to be is a moderate amount of breast asymmetry and the use of different sizes of breast implants may help to improve overall breast symmetry. I also think that your goal photographs are realistic, understanding of course that goal photographs are communication tools not guarantees of exact outcome.My best advice: more communication.
