I have been wanting breast aug for about 10 years now. Have had 4 consults and am still unsure as to what I should do. I have very small breasts with a small torso. They were measured to 11cm/11.5cm. Recent Canadian doctor said he can only fit 345cc at the absolute max. That to me is not large enough. What can I do in this case ? And why is it that American doctors are more willing to take the risk and place larger implants ?

Answer: Want larger beasts: I have very small breasts with a small torso. (photos) Search for board certified plastic surgeons who perform hundreds of aesthetic breast procedures each year with favorable patient feedback and hundreds of untouched before and after photos on their websites. Select a couple and schedule consultations with them. They will be able to guide you to the correct size implant for your measurements and desires. Measurements of the chest wall and breast imprint width as well as knowledge of all breast implant sizes and profiles should make this process easy. Try on a profile bra with the sample silicone and gummy bear implants of various profiles under a tailored blouse, tight sweater, swimsuit, and other garments you typically wear so that you have the best idea of whether the garments fit as desired with the implant selected. I would recommend that you go with the size that boosts your self-esteem, and fits your anatomy. Choosing an implant based on an aesthetic goal that exceeds your anatomic capacity may lead to complications and possibly revision. Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Los Angeles, CA
