AA Cup to C Cup with Small Frame? (photo)

  AA to C cup may be possible without looking fake in a 5'2", 95 lb female.   This will largely be determined by chest wall width.  If the chest wall is large enough a 400 cc implant is probably large enough to increase you 2 cup sizes.

Thanks for your post. Patients with smaller frames and smaller breasts tend to have more natural results using silicone breast implants. Silicone breast implants are softer and can reduce the risks of rippling and a fake feel when compared to saline breast implants. A C cup is unlikely to look fake, but a recommendation for a particular size and projection cannot be made on-line. See a plastic surgeon. Best wishes, Dr. Aldo.

Hello.

Thank you for sharing your photo along with your inquiry.

The "natural" is best achieved with sub-pectoral implants usually as in your case.

As for the size and shape of the implant, it is not possible to provide you with a solid advise without a physical consultation. But shooting for a full C may be stretching your chances of achieving "natural" looking breast after your surgery since it seems that you do not have enough breast tissue to cover a large implant.

That being said, please remember that commendable results require an exceptionally skilled surgeon to perform the surgery and settling for anything less than that increases the chances of additional corrective surgeries dramatically.
I hope this helps and please feel free to check the website below.

Thank you for your inquiry.
The best of luck to you.

Thank you for your questions.  The photo shared suggests that you can obtain a natural result close to a C-Cup without looking un-natural.  Your breast and body measurements should guide implant selection.  A size cannot be recommended without physical examination.  You would probable do well with either a moderate or high profile implant under the muscle.  If you are very concerned about upper pole fullness, which can contribute to an un-natural appearance, you may consider a shaped implant.  These implants are more expensive and not really necessary but are an option that should be discussed further with your surgeon.  You should also share photos of patients from an site such as implant info. com with your surgeon to help them understand what a natural result means to you.  This will help the discussion significantly.  Good luck!

The small frame means a smaller implant is required to manufacture a C cup.  Experimentation with different implants prior to surgery can help clarify the best final volume for the patient.

It's possible to get larger implants despite your small frame, but there is a maximum size you can get before you encounter a higher risk of complications, such as wound separation. To determine the largest size possible for you, I would need to get more measurements of your breasts and ribcage.If you want to go bigger, you may have to stage your surgery. Get smaller implants at first so your body can accommodate to the implants, then larger one later once there's enough tissue to cover them. However, remember that the bigger you go, the faster you'll droop.

The size of the implants are based on a combination of a patient's goals
and objectives and her anatomy. In order to provide a natural looking
augmentation, the surgeon needs to evaluate many factors including soft
tissue coverage, skin laxity, chest wall width, breast imprint width,
the shape of the breasts and relative level of constriction to ensure
that the breast implants are appropriate for your body. Consult in
person with 3 experienced and expert board certified plastic surgeons to
understand your options.

Your desire to have C cup breasts may be reasonable, depending upon how you define a C cup. There  is a limited range for every women that will look natural. Biodimensional planning will be required to provide you the result you want. Look at many many before and after images with women with a starting point lie yours so you can get an idea of the result you can expect to acheive.  

In order to make an accurate size recommendation, I would need to assess your chest wall and breast mound measurements and characteristics.  Unfortunately, there is not a general rule of thumb or objective criteria to implant selection.
Your plastic surgeon will perform several measurements of your chest wall and breast anatomy and determine a range of implants that both fit your chest wall and reach your desired goals.
The next step is to try on this range of implants in the office with your doctor.   The key to this success is showing your surgeon the body proportion you desire with a bra sizer and allowing your surgeon to guide you to the right implant.   It will be much easier to communicate in implant cc's than cup size when determining the appropriate implant for you.
I wish you a safe recovery and fantastic result.

Thank you for your question and for the attached photo. When choosing implant size, several factors are considered. A limiting one is the principle to avoid implants that are wider than the patients actual breast--this to avoid high risk of unnatural appearance. It may be that the width of your breast will limit you to a size somewhat smaller than your goal, but I think you would be happier with an attractive breast smaller that you wanted as compared to a bizarre looking breast that is just the right size.

Best advice--consult with an experienced plastic surgeon.
