I am a size 34B, 5'6 and 145lbs, lost a lot of fullness from breastfeeding, went for my consultation and I'm debating if I should go with the natrelle 485cc or 535cc.I want to have the fullness and cleavage of a full C but I don't want to be too big either, I thought going bigger would help ensure the cleavage I want but now I'm afraid that 535cc would be too big and I hate seeing pictures of breast implants where they are too far apart....
Answer: Best Breast Implant Size I appreciate your concern, because size does matter when seeking a natural looking result in breast augmentation. I ask my patients to bring in photos of breasts the size they desire, because there can otherwise be confusion because B or C cup can vary greatly by brassiere manufactures! I also utilize the implant in the bra technique, with several different implant sizes with a tighter fitting T-shirt to get an idea of what you will look like. Finally, I prefer to meet with my breast implant patients at least twice before surgery, so I am confident that I know exactly what her desires regarding shape and size are. I then have several sized implants in the patient's desired range available in the OR to allow me to tailor the operation to her needs. Be certain your surgeon understands your desires and you should do great as this operation carries a very high satisfaction rate. Good luck!

Answer: Implant size The implants you are considering are less than 50cc's difference so very little visible difference. The best way to determine size is to "try on" the implants. How much cleavage you have how far apart the implants are depends on your anatomy. It sounds like you need to have a rediscussion with your surgeon prior to surgery, now it the time to ask questions. Good Luck

Answer: 485 vs 535 Thank you for your question. This is difficult to answer without knowing your breast dimensions, photos, and a physical exam. I would recommend you trust your surgeon to place whichever implant fits your chest best. I hope this helps.

Answer: Be careful You need an experienced surgeon who will guide you into what larger implants can and cannot do. The most frequent 'trap' is to expect a larger implant to give you the shape that you want and not have the associated complications. Best of luck.

Answer: The right size for you 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.#breastaugmentation#findingtherightsize#BA
