Trying to find before and after for my body type (tall)

Question

I'm Close to 5'11 and I notice I rarely if ever see before and after's of other tall woman. what's the best way to find my other tall ladies? I'm not sure how proportions work when height is involved, does it make an impact on CCs for BA?

Thank you for your inquiry!   Typically, the width of the chest, is taken into account when sizing.  We would love to meet with you to discuss your concerns.  Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon!

Thanks for your question.  Height doesn't matter so much as base diameter aka chest wall width matters.  You may want to look for before and afters with a similar frame as you as that would correspond better with what you may expect.  Best to speak to a board certified plastic surgeon.  All the best.

Maryam Zamani (Saheb-Al-Zamani), MD · Answer

The main factors that affect implant size selection are your chest width and the desired amount of projection you want to achieve. Height (particularly being tall) does not have as significant an impact on implant size selection. I recommend you see a board-certified plastic surgeon in consultation who can guide you on implant selection and help you envision your results.
Best,

The best way is to see a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery for an in-person consultation. At the in person consultation, we use a 3D preoperative imaging system and breast tissue measurements to ensure that we select the proper implant for the breast and the patient.

Dear LastScout,
you can search on Realself or try with local plastic surgeon offices. 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.

Hello, thank you for your question. I have been in practice for over 25 years, I do many breast augmentations in a week.  In fact its one of my favorite surgeries to preform.  I encourage you to look on m website and read the profiles of the before and after photos to see what you like.  Body height, shoulder width, hips all that plays a role in finding the perfect balance to give you the best aesthetic appearance. Wish you the best!

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 implants. 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 is right for them.

The size of implant should be selected based on patients desire and anatomy of her chest. Questions like this are best answered by means of in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in breast surgery. Good luck.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

When trying to find the right implant to match your frame your best resource is your board certified plastic surgeon.  During a consultation your surgeon will measure your breasts (different than bra sizing) and discuss your surgical goals with you.  Together you can discuss potential implants to match your preferences.  Many surgeons have sample implants you can "try on" to help you get an idea of how you may look after surgery.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

The best way you can tell how they will look on you is to go in and try on sizes. Your surgeon will guide you to the range of sizes that best fits your frame and tissue. Then, you can see what you like.
