I’m booked in to get a BA next April & just want to make sure I am well researched & able to explain exactly what I want to my surgeon. I am 5”2 and 110 pounds. I’m probably a small B cup but not really sure. I don’t want much of an increase in size; really just want to restore some lost volume after BF. I have quite a narrow ribcage but pretty set on having low-profile as I want minimal projection. How many CCs could I get away with? Could 160-180 be achievable?
Answer: Choosing the right size and profile breast implants for you I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants, and they choose what looks right for them. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: Implant selection Implant selection is an important part of your consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. During this visit your surgeon will take various measurements of your breasts and discuss your surgical goals. This information is combined to help select implant options for you to consider. In addition to volume you will consider type, shape, and style. A lower profile implant will give you less projection, but you will want to make sure the implant is not too wide or it may yield an odd shape. Your surgeon will guide you through the process. You are not expected to go into a consultation knowing the exact implant you want.

Answer: Implant sizing Choosing the implant size can be one of the hardest decisions with breast augmentation. Every plastic surgeon has their own method to pick the correct implant size with their patients. The choice of implant is determined by combining your goals for size and the appearance of the breasts with a detailed assessment of your height/weight, breast dimensions, and chest width. In our practice, we generally have patients bring photographs of the desired appearance of their breasts after augmentation. We also have them try on breast implants in the office. I would recommend discussing your goals with your surgeon, so collectively as a team, you can determine the best implant size for you.

Answer: Implant size Dear Fierce984128, 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.
