Question

Just curious Bc that's 2cms under and I'm not sure that will look good?? From what I've heard is that most Drs stay within 1cm over or under?Perhaps because my skin is so tight??

Thanks for your question!  The goal isn't to match up perfectly with your base width. Yes, width of your breast does factor into the implants we recommend for you, but I actually prefer something that is more narrow than the base width so that we can stay within those boundaries.  If you had an opportunity to try on the implant sizers and you liked the look, then you will like the look post-operatively.  Based on your photos, I think that will be a nice size for you.  Best of luck!

Hello and thank you for your question. Honestly, a formal in-person evaluation would be needed to determine the best treatment. There are several reasons for this: 
1) Bra sizes vary based on the clothing store (for example, Victoria's Secret tends to upsize everyone by a whole cup size)
2) Most women do not wear the proper exact fitting bra size for their bodies
3) The exact volume (in cc) needed to change cup size is different for different body types (e.g. 32A to 32D requires a different implant size than 38A to 38D)
4) Be careful NOT to fall into the trap most women do- they see a certain implant size (e.g. 285 cc) or perhaps their friend had a certain size, and they want or request this or another size based on that. Everyone's body is different- 285 cc implants on your friend might look VERY different than they would on you. Be very careful not to make this mistake, because the goal is to find the right size and shape for YOU- for your particular body and your breasts.

Because of those multiple factors, and because it is KEY to fully evaluate your breasts in person to make a full set of precise measurements to select the proper implant for you (incorporating factors like amount of breast tissue, implant type, base width, projection, etc), answering your question really would need a formal personalized consultation- to say anything before that would simply be guessing, which would be both unfair and unhelpful to you. Also, just FYI, each surgeon's measurements are slightly different, so numbers, experience, and overall aesthetic from one surgeon aren't necessarily the same as those from another surgeon!

Your breasts are such a KEY area of your body and your femininity- therefore, you should ONLY trust an experienced aesthetic plastic surgeon. As such an expert, I have had extensive training and experience with complex aesthetic surgeries under a multiple world-renowned experts in the field. I’d recommend for you to setup a formal consultation with me (or another plastic surgeon who is extremely comfortable with aesthetic plastic surgery procedures) for a formal consultation to thoroughly discuss your surgical goals, undergo a formal examination, evaluate all your options (surgical and nonsurgical), and decide on the best procedure(s) and type of anesthesia for your specific case. I hope this helps!

Hi Shelbyc1821!  Thank you for your question and photos. 
I'd love to help you select the ideal implant size/profile, but without an in-person consultation, the best we can do is make educated guesses and recommendations. My first recommendation is for you to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon, preferably one who offers digital imaging like Vectra 3-D. This will allow him or her to make a simulation of your body, and to show you what different implant sizes and profiles will likely look like on you. I'd also recommend that you go to your appointment with photos of the look you want for your breasts. This is a lot more informative than simply indicating what cup size you'd like to be. Your surgeon should also be able to let you try out implant sizers to see what feels right for you. These are just a few of the factors that your surgeon will discuss with you at your consultation. Good luck!

Hi and thanks for your photosI like the SSM and SSF lines and use them regularly. The 415 SSF is likely to be a nice fit for you. I would not worry too much about the exact measurements of your base width vs the implant. This implant is in the right ballpark for you, assuming you want quite a bit more fullness and projection.Best wishes-
