Answer: Your anatomy and your goals Depending on the individual anatomy and desired results, estimations and measurements should be made for each patient individually along. The elements that form up the breast shape and size and the overall frame can be different in each person. It is best to consult a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in cosmetic breast surgery in person and discuss your goals and options after a physical examination.Hope this helps,Ali Rıza Öreroğlu, MD FEBOPRASEuropean and Turkish Board Certified Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive SurgeonIstanbul, Turkey

Answer: Breast implant sizing Hi and welcome to our forum! Determining the “perfect” breast size before a planed breast augmentation is quite a difficult task. Each individual has a different concept of “normal” breast size. In addition, there is no standardization of bra size in the industry. One company’s “C” is another company’s “D”. There are various ways to determine desired breast size. Bringing in “wish pix” to demonstrate to your surgeon will make him / her aware of your anticipated goals. Placing an implant in a bra gives an extremely rough idea of anticipated breast size. One may estimate volume by adding rice to a baggie ( 1 cc 1 ml) and adding the volume to your breast beneath a bra. Some surgeons offer computer imaging. The most important measurement is the base width of the implant. If you drip a vertical line from the medial most and lateral most aspects of the breast, and measure the distance between them, this suggests a base width. If an implant is too narrow, you will not have adequate cleavage. If wider than the base width, you will have excessive cleavage and “lateral boob”. The fill of the implant then determines forward projection. Each manufacturer can provide a list of available base widths and projections.I recommend a thorough discussion with your plastic surgeon to ensure that you are both on the same page. Best wishes…

Answer: Sizing Concerns Patients often think in terms of cup size when considering augmentation. Unfortunately, devices are sized in terms of milliliters (cc) of volume. This can lead to some confusion when sizing. Additionally, it is important to remember that cup size itself is not standardized with variations from one manufacturer to another. Unfortunately, as many women can attest their cup size in an industry leader such as VS is not necessarily transferable to another brand. Another point which is often under appreciated is that of anatomy and starting point. Any implant will add volume to the volume which is already present. The implant is additive. A particular volume will not necessarily confer the same cup size to different patients (often times it will not even confer the same cup size to different breasts in the same individual...remember they are "sisters" not "twins"). A general rule of thumb is that 125cc can represent somewhere between 1/2 to a full cup size increase. Smaller volume differentials (25-50cc) are typically less consequential representing a volume change of less than a shot glass. However, I have found these numbers, at least anecdotally, to be of little help. Patients often present with notions/goals which do not correlate with these sorts of sterile volumetric assessments. When sizing patients, there are a number of useful tools including: -3D imaging (has the added benefit of offering a volumetric analysis of the pre-operative breast) -Breast sizers (rice bags) -Goal photos I also recommend that patients commit to a particular look rather than a cup size. Once a patient settles on a look that pleases them the overall cup size increase becomes less relevant.The key to obtaining a natural result is to stay within the parameters defined by your BWD. This will ensure that you avoid the dreaded "fake" look. With regards to your specific question, I would not struggle over 40 cc as this will make a subtle difference (slightly more than the volume of a shot glass). As long as you were approporiately sized, you are likely to be satisfied with either choice. That being said, I would favor more conservative sizing in a smaller individual. Small patients do not typically have large breasts As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

Answer: Choosing implants Hello, it's difficult to provide detailed advice based on a description alone. It sounds like your surgeon has done a proper assessment including breast measurements, so they will be able to take your anatomy into consideration when providing advice.
