I was wondering what size implant I should get with the base width of 10cm. My first doctor told me I couldn’t go over 300cc but I went somewhere else and did 385cc. They were small so then did 650cc and they are WAY big. I already had a lift, I’m not worried about needing that. I'm 5’ 7” 150lbs. Before surgery I was small 34C. I don’t want huge boobs, I just want to be able to dress them up when I want. I was thinking of 485mod for natural, worried will wide and they’ll look squished so maybe HP?

Answer: Implant size Dear Fierce20156, breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.

Answer: Implant selection It's difficult to determine a specific size for you without examining you and discussing your goals. However you have tried 385cc and thought it was too small, and now know 650cc is much too large, so it makes sense to meet somewhere in the middle which is what you are considering in the 485cc implant. The profile will depend upon how much projection you are wanting. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.
