I am having surgery in two weeks. My incision will be under the muscle through the areola. I'm 98 pounds and 5'1. I currently am large A cup and want to go to a small D cup. I've noticed a lot of women regret and wish they would have gone bigger and I'm really just trying to avoid regretting.
Answer: While it is common to wish to have gone bigger, a 375cc is certainly not a small implant for your size While it is common to wish to have gone bigger, a 375cc is certainly not a small implant for your size. However, sizing is something that can be determined only in in-person consultation where you are properly measured and you get a chance to try on implant sizers. Speak to your surgeon about going back for sizing.

Answer: Choosing Breast Implant Size 375 cc is not a small implant, especially for your petite frame. Rather than aiming for a specific bra cup size, which is somewhat arbitrary since bras vary significantly between brands, the goal should be to obtain the "look" you want, provided that your current chest/breast dimensions and breast skin/tissue characteristics allow it. An experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon can help you to determine whether your goals are attainable, and the best method to do so.

Answer: Too small? Thanks for your question. There are many ways that surgeons help their patients in picking the size of their implants. It is important that you pick a board certified Plastic Surgeon and review their before and after pictures. In my practice, I have found that having patients try on implants in a tight surgical bra has been very helpful. It is also important to review the different implant profile choices and the type of look you want with your surgeon. As a petite patient, you may need a higher profile implant to achieve the volume you desire without having the implant too far laterally (too much side boob). It is important to have an honest conversation with your surgeon before surgery to make sure you get the results you are looking for after surgery. Best of luck!

Answer: Implant size Its not the cup size or size of the implant that matters, its the look you're going for thats important. Those other two things vary and are not standardized for each patient. A 375 ml implant will be large on one patient and conservative on another.In your case, this will not be a small augment by anyones standards. Too big of an implant can cause long term issues that will necessitate further surgical interventions in the future. You can always wear a push up bra to get even more out of the augment as well. If you go too big, theres not much you can do. The wide medium range of choices is very versatile putting you in control of the situation. Cup size will depend on where you buy your bra
