I'm 38 years old and 5 '1". I'm 126 lbs and going to have breast surgery. Would 425cc implants be too big for my frame?

After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. You should also be aware that results of surgery can change in the future with significant weight change and/or stretching of skin from the milk of pregnancy.

Measurements are needed to know what range of sizes best fits your frame and tissue. However, 425 cc implants will be heavy on your neck and shoulders. I recommend going somewhat smaller, maybe 375 cc's.

Hi there, thank you for your question. According to the measurements that you wrote, you are very petite and I think that implants around 360 cc will be natural for your frame. But, it's up to you to go for a natural or big size. Good luck!
