My chest measured in at 9 inches and I am looking at ultra high profile silicone under tissue implants at 400 cc and they measure 10.4 inches. My doctor originally said up to 350 cc but changed his mind this last consult saying 400 would be doable. I am 27 years old, with two children and not even an A cup right now. I'm two weeks out from surgery and need to decide. Would this be wise? Are there any problems you can foresee?
Answer: Size Based on your one photo, the 400 cc implant will be a large implant for your tissue and frame. I would suggest going with something a little smaller than will look more natural.

Answer: Breast implants i would recommnd you to have normal small size because you have thin skin. Breast implants are sized according to their volume in cubic centimeters (cc). How do you know what size implant to choose? Looking at pictures and talking to friends who had a breast augmentation might help. Off course the volume will depend on the shape and size of your actual breasts, your frame and the size you want to achieve. Our plastic surgeon will advise you thoroughly. Bringing pictures of a desired restult to be shown to our surgeon, might be very helpful.

Answer: Will 400cc be too large for my frame? 5' and 110 lbs. (photo) Breast implant size has nothing to do with bra cup size - which varies with each bra manufacturer. The average implant volume placed in the US is 350 cc. A very general estimate is that one cup size is 150 to 200 cc of volume, but realize that no direct correlation exists between the two. A board certified plastic surgeon will be able to guide you to the correct size implant. Based upon measurements of your chest wall and breast imprint width as well as knowledge of all breast implant sizes and profiles should make this process easy. Try on a profile bra with various silicone cc sizers your PS recommends under a tailored blouse, tank top, bikini, workout clothes, and other garments you typically wear so that you have the best idea of whether the garments fit as desired with the implant selected. Select the size that boosts your self-esteem, and fits your anatomy.

Answer: Choosing the right size and profile breast implants for you After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size 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 is right for them.

Answer: Breast implants in a very thin woman with little breast tissue I have many patients with this scenario in my practice. We talk a lot about how they will "wear" the implants every day. Are they active? Do they work out or run a lot? Because the implants do have some weight and the skin can stretch out if they are too big. So a larger 400 cc implant can be done for all the right reasons. But once the skin is stretched out further, it makes it harder to downsize. We use 3D imaging in our practice and it is called Crisalix. It allows patients to virtually try on implants to see what they might look like after surgery. We also do traditional sizing. Make sure to go to a plastic surgeon that is board certified and does a significant amount of breast.
