Hello! I had a consultation with a plastic surgeon and the smallest size implant I can go according to him is 345CC. Is that true? I just want a fuller and perkier look. But he said according to my measurements from my chest, ribs and nipple. I need the implants that size to fill in the room. I a photo of my chest bellow. I am also 5’3” 114lbs. I just don’t want my frame to look large and too heavy. Thank you!
Answer: Breast implant sizing It is likely that you are a candidate for multiple implant sizes from 170 to 375 depending on the implant type. Get a second opinion. Bring goal photos of women with similar starting size, shape, and proportion and the result you are looking to achieve. A 345 cc implant will look large on your frame.

Answer: Implant size It is unlikely that you would not be able to consider an implant smaller than 345cc, although an examination is needed to give specific recommendations. I encourage you to visit with a few board certified plastic surgeons in your area for consultations. Listen to varying opinions to help you with your decision.

Answer: Choosing the right size and profile breast implants for you After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants, and they choose what looks right for them. 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 size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: Not true That is not true. The implant sizes that are available to you depend on the width of your existing breast tissue, so a high profile implant cannot be the smallest reasonable option, because a lower profile implant of the same width will also "fit." He may be expressing that they think 345cc will look best for some reason or be sharing his personal aesthetic. In my practice, we go through a sizing process where you try on sizing molds of different volumes to see what matches your shape and size goals, as well as measurements and reviewing goal photos.

Answer: Implant size Dear princessp_1234, 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.
