I am 33yo, 5'3" 118lb and currently wear a 34A. Scheduled for BA in January and going for a very natural look. My PS suggested 275 cc moderate plus profile saline implants. I do not like the super round, full on top look and I'm really just looking for the fullness I had during pregnancy. Is this sufficient to take me to a 34B/ very small C?
Answer: Seek a second opinion. A plastic surgeon who has examined your natural breasts, measured your chest and breast diameter and listened to your goals can provide the best recommendation about breast implant size and profile. Your plastic surgeon has likely done many breast augmentations and has the training in both technique and aesthetics and the expertise to suggest the best breast implant to fit with your natural shape and create the look you want. Since you have concerns, you may want to see a second or third plastic surgeon and compare recommendations to make the best choice for you.

Answer: 5'3", 118 lbs 34A. PS suggests 275cc moderate plus. Good size? The best cosmetic result in any particular breast augmentation patient depends on a variety of factors, including: Your individual anatomy, desired outcome, 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 C and a 38 C are significantly different. Cup size varies from manufacturer to manufacturer and even within styles from any particular manufacturer. There is also no direct correlation between an implant size or shape and resultant cup size. 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 that your plastic surgeon be 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: Implant selection Hello and thank you for your question. The size, profile, and shape of the implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. This entire surgery can be performed with a small incision technique. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Good implant size? Thank you for sharing your question. Unfortunately without an in-depth verbal and visual description of your goal results, as well as measurement of key breast parameters, it is difficult to offer definite implant recommendations. Most patients benefit from "trying on" different implant sizers to have the best idea as to what their results will be, while their surgeon supplies appropriate guidance based on your anatomic limitations. Best wishes
