Per my measurements I am told I can go between 425cc to 475cc. I am leaning towards 450cc's to 475cc's . I am 5'8 @140lbs. I would like to be a full C. I want to go as big as I can without having the "implant " look (where you can see the shape of the implant) . I work within schools so I want it to fit my body and look as natural as possible. What are your thoughts? I have decided to go under the muscle and use silicone.
Answer: Not sure what size to go Dear Antionette bri,As you already know, your anatomy and size you select have a big influence on the ultimate look. Other factors are the type of implant (silicone is a good choice), profile of the implant (whether is is wider and less projecting, or more narrow based and more projecting for the volume desired), and the shape (round or anatomic, which are also available in a variety of dimensions). If you have the ability to to three dimensional imaging (like with a Vectra system) I have found that to be a very helpful tool and patient's initial preconceived ideas of what they think they would like often change based on what they see. I kind of get a "I told you so!" moment when it comes to getting a more natural look.Anatomic implants have not been fully embraced by the majority of surgeons in the US, but I have really liked them for patients with a wider cleavage who are concerned about getting too much upper pole fullness. The feel and mobility are a little different, but I have been quite pleased. Also, when it comes to the final size selection, I will always order a size range (a little bigger and a little smaller) so I have options intra-operatively of fine tuning to focus on a patient's priority when it comes to the look naked. I would never expect my patient to do this for me. They put me in the ballpark, but the final choice is made while you are comfortably sleeping.Best of luck to you!

CONTACT NOW Answer: Implant size Ultimately, the difference between 425cc and 475cc is less than 2 ounces, and you won't likely be able to tell much of a difference.

Answer: Choosing the right size implant Why not "try out" both sizes and see which look you like best? If your surgeon doesn't have gel inserts then try the at home rice method (1oz rice = 30cc breast volume, place in baggies, put in your bra). Best, Dr. Nazarian

Answer: Choosing Breast Implant Size 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:#ChoosingBestImplantSizeandShape

Answer: Not sure what size to go. 425-475cc's? The best cosmetic result in any particular breast augmentation patient depends on a variety of factors, including: Your individual anatomy, desired outcome, realistic expectations, a thorough discussion with the plastic surgeon about the options, and an understanding of the pros and cons of any particular implant choice. Proper sizing is not just about the number of cc’s. The thickness of your tissue, breast dimensions which include the width, height, and projection, as well as chest wall width all need to be considered when choosing an implant. Trying on implant “sizers” of various shapes and volumes while wearing a tight t-shirt, bra, or bathing sit at a preoperative visit will help you and your surgeon choose the optimal implant. There are no manufacturers' standards for cup sizing in the bra industry. The cups of a 32 C-D and a 38 C-D are significantly different. Cup size varies from manufacturer to manufacturer and even within styles from any particular manufacturer. There is also no direct correlation between an implant size or shape and resultant cup size. Keep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedure would not be in your best interest. I would suggest that your plastic surgeon be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Robert Singer, MD FACS La Jolla, California
