36DDD-34G but boobs still look small? Would implants work for me? 22 year old with no kids (Photos)

While your measurements are accurately estimating your bra and cup size, your breast shape is less "full" than what you are hoping for. Volume or size of breasts has subjective component. You have larger breasts with a natural shape. If you are wanting more fullness in the upper breast or a more "fake" round looking breast this may explain your confusion. Breast implants will always be less visible in patients with a larger amount of natural tissue present. You can get some additional fullness with augmentation but understand that your breasts will stretch progressively and more quickly with the addition of any breast implant. Make sure you have a clear understanding of what will be achieved in the first months after surgery and the changes that you can expect with more time after surgery. 

It is very difficult to determine the best size you will need (recommended based on your photos) or the exact size and shape implant you will require to best match your ideal breast image without an examination by a board certified plastic surgeon. Not just any board certified plastic surgeon, but one with many years of frequently performing breast augmentation surgery including different approaches, techniques and implant choices. This is because several measurements not to mention your breast characteristics are needed to determine the optimal implant size to obtain your goals. Without knowing these dimensions it would be difficult to make this determination. For example, the existing base width of your breast will determine, in many cases, the maximal volume per implant profile that you can accommodate. To illustrate; a 100 cc difference may make a significant difference with a narrow base width breast, but much less of a difference if you have a wide chest wall and wide breast “foot print”. Therefore, just because your friend may have a great result with let’s say a 300 cc implant to make her go from a “A” cup to a “C” cup size does not mean that you will have the same result with the same size implant. The same process goes for just filling in the upper part of your breast without becoming much larger. Further simply placing implants in a bra to determine the size best for you is not always accurate as the bra often distorts the size, is dependent on the pressure the bra places plus the implant is outside your breast and not under it among other variables. Computer software morphing programs that automatically determine the best implant size can be helpful in some but not all cases (e.g. doesn’t work well in my experience with existing implants, sagging or asymmetric breasts). Using “want to be” photos however are useful if simply provided to the surgeon as I will further explain in the link below including silicone vs saline implant

Yes, you are a great candidate for Breast Implants.  The implant selection should be based on a combination of your desired size, soft tissue dynamics, breast base diameter and skin elasticity.  I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with.   Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach Trained, Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon 

You appear to be a great candidate for breast implants.  To achieve your desired size you will require an implant of 500 cc or larger.

Hello and thank you for your question. You are a great candidate
for a breast augmentation and your goals can be achieved.  The size, profile, and shape of the
implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall
measurements, and soft tissue quality.  This decision should
be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you
and your surgeon.  This entire surgery
can be performed with a small incision technique.  Make sure you
specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have
had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.   The most important aspect is to find a
surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a
qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Judging by your photos it is certainly difficult to estimate your bra size, but with the photos of your desired result, you would be a good candidate for breast implants.Given that you already have pretty good amount of breast tissue, it would not take much of an implant to get you larger to the desired result.Make sure you see a board certified plastic surgeon who has a great deal of examples of breast augmentation surgery.Hope that helps.

Dear spaghetti11, 
thank you for your question and photos. Based on your photos and desired look you are a good candidate for breast augmentation. With breast implants you will get fuller breasts. 
You should consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon for more details.

Thank you for your question. You appear to be an excellent candidate for breast augmentation surgery. The proper implant must be selected to fill your skin envelope. Please have an in-person examination with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in cosmetic breast procedures. Ask to see a lot of before and after photos of what can be achieved with implants. Hope this helps and good luck.

You should be a good candidate for breast augmentation.  Search for the board certified plastic surgeon who you feel is most likely to give you the best results and who performs hundreds of these procedures each year. I would look at patient reviews as well as before and after photos on that surgeon's website. Then schedule an in-office consultation with that surgeon to be measured, discuss implant size/profile, and your ultimate goals.  It is very important that the surgeon creates the results you would like and that you trust the surgeon's judgment.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Thank you for your photos. It appears that you are a candidate for breast augmentation. The implant size that will work best for you can be determined during your in-office consultations where careful chest/breast measurements are taken and put together to find the right implant for you. Hope this helps!Johnson C. Lee, MD Plastic Surgery
