I'm petite, 5'2, and am totally short waisted. I'm concerned that if I go too big that I will just look top heavy/fat. My goal is soft, natural looking breasts. Also, I'm not a fan of the shape, can a plastic surgeon modify the shape of my breast?

Answer: Breast implants for body type 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.

Answer: I was wondering what breast implants to consider for my body type? 5'2 and short waisted Every patient's anatomy is different. There are various alternatives that are may produce the best result in the appropriate patient depending on her individual anatomy: Different size implants may significantly improve your asymmetry. But you need to be realistic that a patient starting with your degree of difference in breast size and shape will rarely if ever have perfectly identical breasts post-operatively. There are currently a wider variety of types and shapes of silicone implants than existed previously. They vary in: outer surface texture, dimensions of width and height, projection, silicone gel densities, as well as volume. The fact that there are more options is confusing to most patients, but beneficial in helping to achieve an optimal cosmetic result for each patient's particular anatomy. .Following the advice of anyone on this or any other website who would presume to tell you exactly what to do based on 2 dimensional photos without taking a full medical history, examining you, feeling and assessing your tissue tone, discussing your desired outcome and fully informing you about the pros and cons of each option would not be in your best interest. Find a plastic surgeon that you are comfortable with and one that you trust and listen to his or her advice. The surgeon should be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person, and try on sizers.Robert Singer, MD FACSLa Jolla, California
