I had my consultation with my surgeon yesterday and he suggested 310 high profile overs but I'm a 32b with zero cleavage and worried that won't be big enough. I'd like to be D/DD so I'm thinking about the 340's but the bigger I go the more likely you'll be able to see the implant :| Not sure what to do as I like the look of the 340's. I would like to see pics from 32B with both 310's and 340 high profile overs? I really need to see both to try and compare Thank you!
Answer: Choosing size Since you are torn between 310 and 340, I would put one in each side of your bra so that you can compare and see which one looks better. Hope this helps -- Dr. Nazarian

Answer: Choosing Breast Implants Dear Ms. Lovecatt89,Thank you for your questionsBreast size and is a very personal choice. Your choice of profile will be based on your breast width.My responses are:1)sizing: A)purchase several bras (full bodied and no padding) of the size you think you want to be. As you realize there are no standard bra (strap/cup) sizes. B)take a measuring cup (1 oz=30cc) place rice in a nylon C) try on various volumes of rice with some form fitting clothes.2) profile of implant: A) for the same volume the higher the profile the narrower the base width. B)there is very little difference in projection between a moderate to high profile implant thus little affect on how the actual nipple will look. C) the base width of the breast should equal the base width of the implant D)thus I personally chose the profile based on the patients chest measurements, (a high profile on a wide chest may not result in the cleavage desired and conversely a low profile on a narrow chest may result in implant in the outside arm area)3)if implant is placed under the pectoralis muscle I usually add 10% volume to what the patient chooses.... To compensate for the muscle pressing down on the muscle and for the naturally settleing of the implant which often makes the breast appear smaller 2-3 months after surgery.I suggest you make out a list of your questions and select several nude "model" photos of what your desired goals/look would be and then schedule several different consultative appointments with experienced Plastic Surgeons who are Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and who are ideally members of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (denoting by membership as having met additional criteria and a focus on Cosmetic Plastic Surgery).My best wishes, R.

Answer: How can I decide between 310 or 340cc's high profile overs? Thank you for the question. There is no accurate/reliable/predictable correlation between size/profile breast implant utilized and cup size achieved. 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.Also, please make sure that you have a good understanding of the pros/cons associated with sub glandular versus sub muscular breast augmentation surgery. 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 know words such as “natural” or "D or DD cup” 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 for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.

Answer: How can I decide between 310 or 340cc's high profile overs? Hi,A 30cc difference will hardly be noticeable. Plus trying to find patients with similar dimensions as you is nearly impossible. Try visiting someone who has a computer imaging system such as Crisalix that can actually give you 3D simulations of both sizes using your own torso pictures. I hope this helps.Best wishes,

Answer: Best Size Implant Without photos, or an examination its impossible to make a size recommendation. That said, remember that 20 to 30cc difference in volume is not a big difference in size. Also, I try and avoid going to much by cup size because bras all fit so differently.You mentioned cleavage too. As a general rule, high profile implants (which are the narrowest of all implants) are going to leave your breasts widely spaced and do nothing to close in the gap. Of course, your exact measurements need to be taken here to make the final call.
