I had my consult a few days go and picked my size! I know I'm not the only one second guessing the size. Just waiting on a call to book surgery next week. Curious if this size will look too small? I'm trying to achieve all around breast fullness, especially on the top and "side boob" I decided upon 445cc round smooth Allergan SSM silicone, moderate profile implants. My doctor is doing a dual plane technique My breast diameter is 13.5, I'm 5'7" 150lbs
Answer: Is 445cc the right size? Not too small? Hello, thank you for your question. You need to take into account what your idea of big actually is. For someone of your stature and breast size, a 445 augmentation will add about two cup sizes.

Answer: Size Based on your photo, I think the size you have chosen will give you a very pretty look. If need, go back to your surgeon and ask to try on that size again.

Answer: Implant size Dear HoneyBxo, breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.

Answer: Choosing the right size and profile breast implants for you After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of former patients with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. My patients tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size breast implant is right for them. They also get to see what they would look like when the implants have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved.

Answer: Is 445cc the right size? Not too small Thank you for your question and photograph. I think you are starting from an excellent position and should anticipate a nice result. 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, as well as permits an in-depth discussion as to your desired goals and outcome. I would recommend seeing ASPS board certified plastic surgeons to ensure that the implants you decide upon are the right ones to meet your expectations. You can even "try on" several of the implants so that you can have a better visual representation as to what they would look like. Best wishes
