I have a small chest (32B) and I like them most the time just not the shape. Is it possible to go up only a half cup size with implants or they only go by full? And if I want them to look as natural as possible what kind are recommended?
Answer: Implant size Hello and thank you for your question and sharing your photos. The short answer is 'yes'. You can choose a small implant to achieve your desired aesthetic outcome. I would seek consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a full evaluation and advice on implant selection.

Answer: Going up Half a Cup Size with Breast Implants Thank you for your question! You can absolutely achieve half a cup size more with breast implants. Most plastic surgeons say that every 200cc is a cup size larger. This being said, bras are not created equal, you may be one size in one brand and another size in another brand. You should consult in person with a board-certified plastic surgeon so he/she can examine you in person and then provide you with implant sizers to try on to get an idea of how different cc's will look on your frame. Together you can decide the best type of implant to give you the more natural looking results you want.

Answer: Breast Implants / Breast Augmentation Surgery / Breast Enlargement -- Implant Location, Incision Location, Silicone Gel Breast I You need a formal evaluation by a licensed plastic surgeon and expert in breast augmentations to determine what is best for you and your goals.Proper breast enlargement is not a "cookie-cutter" procedure where the same technique is applied to every patient. Every woman who comes to my practice has unique needs and different goals for her breast augmentation. As a board-certified plastic surgeon, I always listen carefully to each woman's concerns and thoroughly discuss the key points of the procedure. I also take into account their overall height and weight, the size and shape of the underlying chest and ribcage, the tightness and elasticity of the skin, and the amount of natural breast tissue. Prior to the procedure, we discuss and make decisions regarding location of the incision, whether to place the implant under or over the chest muscle, and what type of implant to use (I offer multiple types of silicone gel breast implants, as well as saline implants). My experience performing thousands of aesthetic breast surgeries in a wide anatomical range of patients enables me to achieve consistently beautiful and natural results that are customized to each patient’s body type and goals. These results are the product of extensive communication, meticulous planning, and skillfully executed surgery. I suggest consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon and expert in Breast Augmentation surgeries. - Dr. Cohen

Answer: Can you go up only half a cup size with implants? There is no standardization within the bra manufacturing industry with respect to cup sizes. Some PSs state that 200 ccs equals one cup size; other disagree. So half a cup size could be about 100 ccs.A board certified plastic surgeon will be able to guide you to the correct size implant for your measurements and desires. Measurements of the chest wall and breast imprint width as well as knowledge of all breast implant sizes and profiles should make this process easy. Try on a profile bra with various saline and silicone cc sizers your PS recommends under a tailored blouse, tank top, bikini, workout clothes, and other garments you typically wear so that you have the best idea of whether the garments fit as desired with the implant selected. I would recommend that you go with the size that boosts your self-esteem, and fits your anatomy. Choosing an implant based on an aesthetic goal that exceeds your anatomic capacity may lead to complications and possibly revision.
