I am getting a breast augmentation soon and leaning towards 225 cc silicone moderate plus or high profile. I am petite (5'2", 95 lbs) and currently 32 AA (minimal breast tissue). Will this be unnatural looking and too big/obvious? Or does this sound like an appropriate size that will create a natural profile consistent with my build? I realize it's difficult to assess these things without an in person consultation but any perspective will help! Thanks!

Answer: Shaped Implants Hello,You are right, there is no way to tell you if you will look 'unnatural' or 'too big/obvious'. Those are very subjective terms that could mean different things to different people. However, one thing might be obvious: HP implants are 'ball shaped', and produce the same in your breasts. Consider a shaped, form stable implant of moderate projection that is designed to fit your chest and breast tissue based on linear measurements instead of volume. Go visit a few ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons that use shaped devices. Best of luck!

Answer: What results can I expect as a petite woman with 225cc breast implants? Thank you for your question and photographs. Breast implant selection is an exciting, but stressful part of the breast augmentation process as there are so many choices. Unfortunately it is impossible to recommend the best implant style, size or shape without an in-person examination that allows for the measurement of key breast parameters, as well as permits an in-depth discussion as to your desired goals and outcome. I would recommend seeing an ASPS board certified plastic surgeon, they are in the best position to ensure that the implants the two of your decide upon are the right ones to meet your expectations. It sounds as if it may be wise for you to "try on" several of the implants so that you can have a better visual representation as to what they would look like. 225cc implants are on the smaller size but based on your apparent starting position it may very well be a great option. Best wishes!
