On my first consultation I was told I don't need a lift and that based on BWD 14 I could go anywhere from 400cc-500cc. On a different consult I was told I could only go for 375cc and needed a lift. I am 5'3 and weigh 140lbs. I'm scared of making the wrong choice. I have wanted this BA for 25 Years!

Answer: Breast lift or BA Dear Lady Bella, determining whether you need simply a breast augmentation versus a breast lift can be somewhat complicated. It depends on a number of factors including skin laxity and current nipple position. Generally speaking, if the nipples are lower than the inframammary line the patient will most likely need a breast lift. If the nipples are at or above the inframammary line we can generally get by with just a breast augmentation depending on the size of the implant the patient wants. I often still using implant when I perform a breast lift because it provides more upper breast fullness after the lift. To be sure a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon will help determine what the patient actually needs.

Answer: Breasts I agree with your second consultant for 325 cc's the 400-500 cc implants will be large and heavy for your frame and tissue, cause thinning of your tissue and sag with time. The 325 cc implant will give you a lot of fullness and still fit you well. Plus, it will be a size you can enjoy.
