My name is Laura. I am 21 years old and I have been very interested in a breast augmentatoin procedure. My natural breast size is a 34B with a little bit of a natural "pull of gravity" aka sag lol. I am looking into a taerdrop silicone implant placed submuscular through the areola. If I am a 34B now, what size will a 370cc-380cc implant leave me at? The biggest I would go for an implant would be 400cc's but I feel like I don't need to, since I already have "something to hold on to" lol

Answer: Choose a low profile silicone gel in a cold-subfascial plane for a natural tear-dropshape
From the look of things you should probably go 280-370 in the subfascial plane for a natural look. I perform the cold-subfascial augmentation to create beautiful tear drop shaped breast. Only in a in person exam can a surgeon advise you exactly on implant selection but be sure that you choose low profile in the range above and select a cohesive silicone gel. I hope this helps!
All the best,

Answer: Breast implants and cup size
There are two things I always tell my patients when it comes to implant volumes and cup sizes. First, bra manufacturers are all different. They don't have standard cup sizes. While you might be a B cup in one bra, you might be a C cup in another. With that in mind, no one can guarantee you a cup size. We can only put you in the ballpark of what cup size you might want.
Second, different doctors have different ways of determining which volume implant to use. There isn't a standard formula we all use. You might look online and find ten patients who are your height, weight, and body frame. They may all have different sized implants and they may all look great. It isn't like putting bumpers on Chevrolets. Every patient is different and must be evaluated individually. Which implant will work best for you is something you will have to work out in consultation with the doctor you choose to do your surgery.
