I do plan on getting a tummy tuck next year because I have a small child that still requires me to hold. I have done my research so I know that particular detail would be easier to determine with my PS, I would like a couple of options on what sizes. My goal is 550cc Round HP Silicone, submuscular. Is that too big(not afraid to go big, not ridiculously big i.e over 1100cc). I understand that everyone is different but I want to be able to go braless and still have boobs, I want a noticeable chest
Answer: What size of breast implants will fit my body type and frame There are many factors that go into determining the appropriate volume of breast implant that is necessary to achieve your goal. This includes height and your chest frame in addition to pre-existing body fat and pre-existing breast size. If one is heavier, in most instances one requires a larger implant then a smaller framed woman to achieve a certain proportion. Surgeon your consultation will be able to guide you through this process.

Answer: What size implant should I pick? Hello and thanks for your questions. There's no way to give you specific answers without seeing you in consultation and performing an examination to see if what you desire is possible. On the other hand, your comments and size recommendation seem reasonable to me. As far as sizing, I suggest you consider some principles I use to "guide" patients when choosing a breast cup for their breast augmentation. A key is to se the Mentor Volume Sizing System of breast sizers to demonstrate how these different volumes will look on a patient’s body. You have to go into the office to do this:1) Explore reasonable options for breast implant size, usually two to three similar sizes, which allows the patient to visualize how different volumes affect their breast cup. 2) The best guide for a final breast implant size recommendation is derived using measurements from the patient’s own breasts and chest. 3) When measurements are considered then options for sizes can be presented. When patients feel unsure about a size and shape, we ask them back to the office to try sizing until they're very confident with the choice they're making. I suggest you see at least 3 board certified plastic surgeons to see what is achievable in your case.Please see results of round and shape implant results at my website in the link below.Best wishes always,Dr. Aldo

Answer: Implant selection It sounds like you have already taken steps to research breast augmentation online, and are planning to book a consultation with a surgeon. They will be much more helpful in assisting you with your implant choice, because they will need to measure your breasts, assess tissue thickness, skin tone, and other factors.

Answer: Implant sizes Hello,Thank you for your question and photos. Dimensional breast augmentation involves your Plastic Surgeon taking careful measurements of your chest and choosing a small range of breast implants which fit your breasts proportionately and meet your aesthetic expectations for size and shape. 550 may or may not fit you. On a larger frame, higher volumes can look quite proportionate and appropriate. You will need to be seen in person and work with your Plastic Surgeon to reach your goals. My patients find it helpful to try on the implants sizers in clothing and get a 3d feel for the volumes they like.All the best

Answer: What size of breast implants will fit my body type and frame? I am 5'6, 200lb Thank you for the question and pictures. Ultimately, careful communication of your goals (in my practice I prefer the use of goal pictures, direct examination/communication in front of a full-length mirror, in bra sizers, and computer imaging) as well as careful measurements (dimensional planning) will be critical. Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is: 1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work. 2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. For example, I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or "C or D cup” or "noticeable chest" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. Again, the use of computer imaging has been very helpful during the communication process, in our practice. 3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery, after the use of temporary intraoperative sizers. I hope this (and the attached link, dedicated to breast augmentation surgery concerns) helps. Best wishes.
