5'4" 145lb hoping to be 140lb Bust: 36b/32c Waist: 29" Hips: 37.5" Would like to be a large D small DD Is that ok for my frame? Can I achieve something similar to the attached photos with 450-475cc high profile. I'm going for something a little bit more than natural but not too over the top. Thanks
Answer: Breast Implant Size - How much is enough? It is very difficult to determine the exact size and shape implant you will require to best match your ideal breast image without an examination by a board certified plastic surgeon. Not just any board certified plastic surgeon, but one with many years of frequently performing breast augmentation surgery including different approaches, techniques and implant choices. This is because several measurements not to mention your breast characteristics are needed to determine the optimal implant size to obtain your goals. Without knowing these dimensions it would be difficult to make this determination. For example, the existing base width of your breast will determine, in many cases, the maximal volume per implant profile that you can accommodate. To illustrate; a 100 cc difference may make a significant difference with a narrow base width breast, but much less of a difference if you have a wide chest wall and wide breast “foot print”. Therefore, just because your friend may have a great result with let’s say a 350 cc implant to make her go from a “A” cup to a “C” cup size does not mean that you will have the same result with the same size implant. . Further simply placing implants in a bra to determine the size best for you is not always accurate as the bra often distorts the size, is dependent on the pressure the bra places plus the implant is outside your breast and not under it among other variables. Computer software morphing programs that automatically determine the best implant size can be helpful in some but not all cases (e.g. doesn’t work well in my experience with existing implants, sagging or asymmetric breasts). Using “want to be” photos however are useful if simply provided to the surgeon as I will further explain in the below link.

Answer: Achievable results? It is hard to say what you can achieve without a physical examination. Your question is best answered by an in person consultation with your plastic surgeon for examination measurements and discussion of your expectations.

Answer: What size should I pick Implant size choice is extremely difficult - it is even more difficult to assist with online and even more difficult to assist with online and without a photo. Best to follow up with your plastic surgeon and try on sizers in person. Best of luck.

Answer: Breast Augmentation: is 450-475cc enough? Thank you for the question and pictures. Much of what a patient will look like after breast augmentation surgery will depend heavily on where she starts. In other words, the starting anatomy will play a large role when it comes to what can be achieved with breast augmentation surgery. You may want to consider posting photographs of your own breasts for more specific advice here. Generally speaking, my best recommendations: choose your plastic surgeon carefully, communicate your goals carefully, learn about the procedure/risks/complications and develop a sense of realistic expectations during the consultation process. Your plastic surgeon will be your best guide through this journey. Best wishes.
