I was wondering what breast implants to consider for my body type? 5'2 and short waisted (Photo)

It is very difficult to determine 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 350 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. . 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 following link:

Thank you for your inquiry and congratulations on considering the breast augmentation procedure periodBased on your picture and your description above, it is not under a reasonable to ask for soft and natural looking breasts. With that in mind, you have different options to consider using different implants material, size, and placement.I recommend that to you schedule a consultation we have a well experienced and board certified surgeon who will provide you with the necessary tools to make an educated decision with which you will be comfortable an extremely satisfied. The best of luck to you.\

Hello, your plastic surgeon will be able to help you pick implants that are appropriate for your size and shape by looking at representative photos, having your try on implants sizers, or perhaps using 3D imaging.  You may find that implants alone provide the shape change you desire.  I would suggest discussing your goals with a plastic surgeon.
