I'm very slim - 5ft7, 32b (bust 31 inches and 25 inch waist). I know 270cc implants are on the smaller size, but will they look big on me? I don't want huge boobs but I would like to see a difference.
Answer: Best size implants for my body type? You are on the right track Megan. I rely on several factors involved in choosing the right sized implants to maximize the results for patients. Your Breast size, the amount of Breast tissue present, the width of your breasts, stature (petite, medium build, wide shoulders? Etc.), and the patient's desires regarding size. They all play a key role. 270 cc implants may be small for some patients, but perfect for others. One helpful maneuver is trying on several size implants under a bra and snug T shirt. This gives you a reasonable idea of what you will look like. Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon and best of luck!

Answer: Breast augmentation implant size You are requesting a mild change in your breast size and are seriously considering 270cc which is on the smaller size of implants used fro breast augmentation. I have used that size many times with excellent results. Try them on in a tight sports bra, check out before and after photos and get a 3 dimensional Vectra image. The Vectra can show you in 3D what different size implants would look like. Use a board certified plastic surgeon. good luck...

Answer: Breast Implant selection Selecting your breast implant size is dependent on several things, including your body type, skin quality, and your desires. If you are going for a very natural look, you should find a surgeon who uses anatomic shaped implants. I use these implants about 75% of the time and have been extremely happy with the results. They can provide a very natural look in the right person. Not many surgeons are experienced with these implants, so they may not even present them to you as an option. Do your research and find a board certified plastic surgeon who can offer a variety of implant choices.

Answer: Will 270cc implants look big on me? Thank you for the question. Ultimately, careful communication of your goals (in my practice I prefer the use of goal pictures, direct examination/communication in front of a full-length mirror, and computer imaging) will be critical. Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is: 1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work. 2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or "B or C cup” or "too big on me" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. Again, the use of computer imaging has been very helpful during the communication process, in our practice. 3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery, after the use of temporary intraoperative sizers. I hope this (and the attached link, dedicated to breast augmentation surgery concerns) helps. Best wishes.

Answer: Implant Selection Thank you for your question. It is very difficult to accurately discuss implant volume without an exam and detailed measurements.In order to make an accurate size recommendation, I would need to assess your chest wall and breast mound measurements and characteristics. I use these measurements to help me during your sizing process to guide you to a safe result and one that meets your end desires.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 during the sizing process. Close intereaction and involvement from your surgeon during this process can help alleviate the anxiety and fears of choosing the right size. I wish you a safe recovery and fantastic result.Dr. Gill
