I am getting teardrop, sub muscular, “gummy bear” breast implants, and I’m not sure how many cc’s I should get. I’m 37 years old, 5’6”, and 133 lbs. At my consultation, I stressed that I wanted natural boobs that weren’t too big. The surgeon recommended 270-310 cc’s. I know that the cup size can’t be predicted, but can you give me an estimation of size? I don’t want to go too small. I have seen too small implants, and I think that they look just as bad as too large ones. Thank you.

Answer: Teardrop "gummy bear" implant size Thank you for sharing your questions. Breast implant selection is an exciting, but stressful part of the breast augmentation process as there are so many choices. Unfortunately it is impossible to recommend the best implant style, size or shape without an in-person examination that allows for the measurement of key breast parameters and a through discussion of your goal results. Oftentime pictures of representative examples of what you find to be attractive can help guide your surgeon. You may also wish to "try on" different implant sizers in their office. Best wishes!

Answer: Photos are best. I strongly suggest that you find photos of your concept of "ideal" or favorites and share them with your plastic surgeon. You can get a beautiful and "natural" result with any and all implants, not just "gummy bear". It depends more on proper size selection and implant placement than on the type of implant selected. Best of luck to you.
