Which would you recommend; 325cc or 350cc high profile mentor silicone for tall broad 5'9? (photos)

Based on your photos and the fact that you are 5'9'', I think you should consider a larger implant if you want to be a natural D cup. If you haven't already done so, I highly recommend that you try on the implants with a sports bra prior to making a final decision. If you are confident that either 325 or 350cc's is right for you, then go with the larger size. There is less than two tablespoons difference in size. Good luck!

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

The difference between the two is slight, but I always advise my patients that if they are torn between to sizes, choose the larger of the two. If you had an opportunity to try on sizers, the implants will appear a bit smaller once they are under the muscle and tissues. With either of those sizes, I think you will have a natural result that you will be happy with. Good luck!

Thank you for your question about breast augmentation.Selecting the most appropriate breast implant size for breast augmentation is a personal decision that ultimately you have to make. An in-person consultation with implant sizing is best.It depends on your height, weight and breast base width diameter.To know what might be right for you, see two or more experienced, board-certified Plastic Surgeons for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have breast augmentation or related breast surgery.I hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. I recommend that you seek a board certified Plastic Surgeon who specialises in this procedure and who's before and after photos appeal to you. After discussing your expectations and taking measurements, your surgeon will be able to provide a small range of sizes based on dimensional breast augmentation which takes into account your breast measurements and desired look. I recommend that you try on the sizers in office to get a feel for how they look in clothing. Because the implant sizes increase by only a couple mm and 20-30 ccs in volume, a very precise fit can be found for you and guessing would be only a ballpark. If you are stuck between two sizes which are very similar- 25ccs apart, do not worry that the slightly larger one will make the difference between natural looking and "fake." the difference is not that large. All the best

I appreciate your question.

The size of implant is dictated by your
chest wall measurements.

The type of implant depends on the desired look you want to achieve.

Silicone will give you a fullness at the
top (upper pole fullness).

Silicone implants come pre-filled with a
silicone gel and are the softest implant available. They feel more natural,
which makes them a good option for women with less natural breast tissue; but
they require a larger incision. It may be more difficult to realize if this
type of implant has ruptured, so it is important to monitor them with annual
follow-up visits. Additionally, because this implant contains a more liquid
silicone (less cross-linked), if this implant should rupture, it will leak only
into the scar capsule formed around the implant but may cause some discomfort
or implant distortion.

Anatomic gummy bear implants might be a
good choice to give you volume.

These highly-sought-after, anatomic
implants offer a look that more closely resembles the natural silhouette of a
breast, and, therefore, are a very attractive option for individuals seeking a
natural-looking, aesthetic primary breast augmentation. Additionally, these
implants are an especially excellent option for patients undergoing restorative
or corrective breast surgery because they provide more stability, shape, and
reduced incidence of capsular contracture. Compared to other types of silicone
gel implants, the silicone in the cohesive gel implant is more cross-linked;
therefore, should the implant shell “rupture,” it maintains its shape and
silicone does not leak.

During your breast augmentation
consultation, you should feel the different types of implants available,
and try on various implant sizers in front of a mirror to help you to get an
idea of how you will look following the surgery. You should also bring pictures
of the look you would like to achieve, as well as a favorite top to wear when
trying on implant sizers.



The best way to assess and give true
advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified plastic
surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.



best of luck!

You have nice anatomical features to your chest and breast that are favorable to get great results.  The most important goal for you is to figure the size.  Don't fret over 25cc.  You won't be able to tell the difference.  Have you surgeon make the right choice for you.Go for it!Best Wishes,Nana Mizuguchi

Thank you for your question and photos.  You know your body and your desires better than
anyone else. This is a decision that should be between you and your plastic
surgeon. Face to face consultation and exam, measuring your dimensions and
evaluating your tissue characteristics should help you and your surgeon reconcile
your desires with what your tissues will accommodate. There are several sizing
options that your surgeon can review with you. You should have thorough
education and understanding of your options. These are decisions that should be
made as team of educated patient and knowledgeable, skilled surgeon. With the
two implants you have mentioned there is only 25cc difference, a little more
than a teaspoon. Clinically this is imperceptible. Good Luck!

Thank you for your question and photos.  It appears that you can get a great result and one that is very similar to your wish pics from a breast augmentation with implants.  25 cc's is not an amount that will make a drastic change.  I recommend that, if you have clearly voiced your goals to your surgeon and shown him or her pictures of what your goal is, you ask to "try on" the implants prior to choosing a size.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

Hi,Thanks for posting your question. I am happy to try and help you. It is important to remember that a board certified plastic surgeon will be your best resource when it comes to an accurate assessment of your situation, and concerns.Having said that, thank for your height and weight and breast size estimates, they do help. There is really no way to accurately predict what size you would like without an examination. During your examination and consultation, you should try on some sample sizes and see what you are comfortable with. Then the PS can help explain with the size and current condition of your breasts, what type of lift you will need and what are realistic expectations.As for your two choices, do not worry, they are the same result. You would need to up about 75-150cc to notice a difference. So do not worry at all about either of these two. When in doubt, go as large as you think you would be comfortable with.I hope you found this helpful. Have a great day.
