I'm 23, 5'5 about 14lbs. Wanting to become a 36C I am a 36aa right now. I am thinking silicon under the muscle for a natural look. I love working out and have a curvy, fit shape for the most part and think a 36C would be optimal with my proportions. Thanks for any advice!
Answer: Selecting the Correct Breast Implant Size for You Thank you for your question.What is your breast base width diameter? This is a critical number and will determine the width of your implant. The width of the implant will have a large determining factor on the volume size of your breast implants.To be sure, see two or more board certified plastic surgeons for a complete evaluation to make sure that you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have surgery.I hope this helps.

Answer: What size is best for me? I want to go from 36AA to 36C. The best cosmetic result in any particular breast augmentation patient depends on a variety of factors, including: your individual anatomy, realistic expectations, a thorough discussion with the plastic surgeon about the options, and an understanding of the pros and cons of any particular implant choice. Proper sizing is not just about the number of cc’s. The thickness of your tissue, breast dimensions which include the width, height, and projection, as well as chest wall width all need to be considered when choosing an implant. Trying on implant “sizers” of various shapes and volumes while wearing a tight t-shirt, bra, or bathing sit at a preoperative visit will help you and your surgeon choose the optimal implant. There are no manufacturers' standards for cup sizing in the bra industry. The cups of a 32 C and a 38 C are significantly different. Cup size varies from manufacturer to manufacturer and even within styles from any particular manufacturer. Keep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedure would not be in your best interest. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Robert Singer, MD FACS La Jolla, California

Answer: AA to C cup Always best to be sized in person but roughly a silicone gel high or ultra high profile implant depending on your chest width in the 300-350 range should get you there. Best wishes

Answer: Breast Augmentation Thank you for your question. It appears from your pictures that your skin tone may be very tight which may limit the size of implants that can be used. Rather than concentrate on a certain cup size I would recommend that you visit with a board certified plastic surgeon who can examine you and determine what is the maximum size implant that will fit comfortably in your breast. I think you are an excellent candidate for a silicone implant under the muscle and it should give you a nice natural look.

Answer: What size is best for me? I want to go from 36AA to 36C. Thanks for your question. I agree with your assessment. A C cup on the smaller side would enhance your very fit figure. I also agree that the implants should be smooth silicone gels placed behind the muscle. The incision could be areola ( although it may be tough even with the Keller funnel) or IMHO the fold. I would recommend high profile. I also agree with you about looking natural. IMHO the coconut, fake look is not desirable.In any case, always seek out the opinion of a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery with years of experience in cosmetic breast surgery. Furthermore request to see before and after photos of previous patients by that doctor....not a clinic or surgery center. Do your homework......research and verify the doctor's credentials. Have they had problems with the Board of Medicine, disciplinary or otherwise. Any law suits?How about the center, clinic or facility? Are they accredited by a national organization or do they just have State approval. Understand that at the current time, there are three nationally recognized organizations responsible for the highest levels of patient safety, AAAASF, AAACH and JCHO. You owe it to yourself to position yourself for the best possible results but under the most stringent safety regulations, If you have kids, even more so.How about anesthesia? Will you have a medical doctor certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology or a certified nurse anesthetist (CRNA)? Understand that there is no substitute for research. Cosmetic surgery, no matter how simple it may be to the patients, are invasive procedures and as such carry certain risks and complications.In our office we use TouchMD which is a web based program in which patients have the ability to load their picture unto the program. I then evaluate them and can actually draw on the picture to show a potential patient where the incisions would be located and how the procedure is to be realized. It's all done to comply with HIPPA which is the federal law that protects the patient's medical information. Look them up.I answer all questions personally. Many surgeons have the ability to carry on line consults which we frequently do. Contact our institute and we will be happy to guide you.
