I am 5'4", 125 lbs with a chest circumference of 29. I currently wear a 34c although I don't fill the bra well, I would say that I'm a b. My PS recommended 350cc moderate plus silicone and I'm worried these could look too large on my frame. Is it possible that these could take me to a D? Thanks!
Answer: A 350 mL implant is not necessarily too big for 5'4" individual. 350 mL would probably do quite well. There good sizing systems or you can try out this volume prior to having the operation.

Answer: 350 cc mod plus implants An exam and measurements would give the best info to determine the appropriate sized implant. Based on my experience this size implant will produce a nice result.

Answer: Are 350cc moderate plus silicone too large for my 5'4" 125 frame? The best cosmetic result in any particular breast augmentation patient depends on a variety of factors, including: your individual anatomy, realistic expectations, a thorough discussion with the plastic surgeon about the options, and an understanding of the pros and cons of any particular implant choice. Proper sizing is not just about the number of cc’s. The thickness of your tissue, breast dimensions which include the width, height, and projection, as well as chest wall width all need to be considered when choosing an implant. Trying on implant “sizers” of various shapes and volumes while wearing a tight t-shirt, bra, or bathing sit at a preoperative visit will help you and your surgeon choose the optimal implant. There are no manufacturers' standards for cup sizing in the bra industry. The cups of a 34 D and a 38 D are significantly different. Cup size varies from manufacturer to manufacturer and even within styles from any particular manufacturer. Keep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedure would not be in your best interest. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Robert Singer, MD FACS La Jolla, California

Answer: Too large? The most important aspect of breast surgery is picking the implant that fits your body like a show fits your foot. The moderate plus profile is a nice profile as it is not too obvious. If the diameter of your breast settles for a 350cc implant than you have made the correct choice!

Answer: Size should be proportionate Thanks for your question. If you are a B cup now, the standard answer is that 200CC gets you to the next cup size. This doesn't hold true for every person but is a ball park estimate. The quality of breast tissue and skin with regard to its elasticity is a key component. This discussion about size and desired outcome is one you have to feel comfortable with in regards to communicating with your surgeon. It should not be a complete leap of faith. Best of Luck!
