Im 5'7 and weigh 50kg. I'm getting a full lift with implants but I'm already starting at a small D/full C. I want to be a DD/DDD after my surgery. Im looking at 250 CC but Im afraid that this size will make me top heavy since I'm already starting at small D or wont make a difference at all. I want the implant to be big enough for nice shape and cleavage but not too big so that it looks stuck on. How can I know what size will be right given Im already starting off with breast tissue/breast fat?

Answer: Breast Implants - Choosing the right size Thank you for your question. You are not alone in your concern about implant selection and questioning how you can feel most confident with your choice going into your procedure. What I have found over my many years of practice is that the best aesthetic outcome is the result of careful planning and clear communication with regards to patient goals, expectations and any limitations in achieving a patients goal. To help achieve this I routinely use 3D imaging with our Vectra system and physical implant sizing in my practice to help patients see what they will look like in a variety of implant sizes, shapes and profiles. While this imaging is never 100% accurate, it does provide a patients with a pretty realistic idea of what they can hope to achieve and I have found that it helps . Without seeing you in person it is difficult to say whether or not a 250cc implant will provide you with the result you are hoping for but I would encourage you to discuss your concerns with your chosen plastic surgeon because you should approach your surgical date with great confidence and excitement. I hope that you find this helpful and I wish you all of the best!

Answer: Choosing right sized implants for patients with a lot of breast tissue/breast fat Search for board certified plastic surgeons who perform hundreds of aesthetic breast procedures each year with favorable patient feedback and hundreds of before and after photos on their websites. Select a couple and schedule consultations with them. They will be able to guide you to the correct size for your measurements and desires. Measurements of the chest wall and breast imprint width as well as knowledge of all breast implant sizes and measurements should make this process easy. The difference between these sizes is difficult to appreciate, and you should pick the one you like better. Try on a profile bra with the sample silicone and saline implants under a tailored blouse, tight sweater, swimsuit, and other garments you typically wear so that you have the best idea of whether the garments fit as desired with the implant selected. I would recommend that you go with the size that boosts your self-esteem, and fits your anatomy. Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Los Angeles, CA
