Next month im having a BA - cohesive silicone HP; my PS suggests under the muscle as well. Im pretty confident about all of that, but the ccs have me stressing. I currently am a very deflated 32c/d? I'm 5'3" 120lbs, I want large, soft looking breasts, I want them to be wider than my chest for a curvier look. I want side boob. I just don't want them to look like giant balloons. I love Scarlett Johansson's look. My PS said 400 is prob the largest that will fit in my frame...advice, please?
Answer: Best Size Implant Thank you for your question and photos. The photos of movie stars can be helpful, but it's important to remember many of these pictures are usually retouched to make areas look fuller, softer, rounder, etc. On-line pics are good to give you an idea only of what you would like for fullness and volume, but remember they are often not a true picture of reality. Direct communication with your plastic surgeon is key. I think that 3-D imaging has been most helpful for my patients, and you should discuss this with your surgeon. You may also consider doing an implant try on session with implant sizers at your plastic sugeon's office, however this is only an estimate of volume, and does not demonstrate what the shape will be like. I agree with your surgeon that 400 cc is a big implant for your frame! Good luck.

Answer: Breast implant size is something you should choose When I see patients for breast augmentation, I teach them how to try out different size implants in a soft bra to help them decide for themselves what volume feels right to them. It is my job, as a plastic surgeon to guide them towards a range of sizes to experiment with that will work with the skin and breast and chest wall size they have. After they have chosen a volume that feels right, I have the ability to measure and choose a style of implant that will work best for them. But ultimately, the volume is for the patient to choose with careful guidance from me. A surgeon is not really able to choose what is best for the patient. In my opinion our responsibility is to guide the patient to help her make a good choice for herself. Before having surgery, you should make sure you are comfortable with your surgeon and the choice of implant size. Ask your surgeon, get another opinion if you are still unsure of what implant is best. Best wishes.

After having analyzed all the info. and photos provided to us, i can realize that you have an underdeveloment breasts and a low-grade breast fall.For these reasons, I recommend a Breast Augmentation using microtexturized highly cohesive silicon implants, with high projection and considerable volumes 500ml. up to fill the breasts properly, and placing them under the muscle, to get a natural look and long term best results.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Answer: How many ccs for the desired results on my frame? Thank you for the question and pictures. Online consultants will not be able to provide you with specific enough advice to be truly helpful. Ultimately, careful communication of your goals (in my practice I prefer the use of goal pictures, direct examination/communication in front of a full-length mirror, and computer imaging) will be critical. Best to discuss your goals, expectations, concerns, and questions directly with your plastic surgeon, preferably prior to the day of surgery.

Answer: How many CC's for the desired results on my frame? Hello,Thank you for the question and photos. It is very difficult to say what will "fit" you without physically measuring you, however if you wear a 32 band bra, you are petite, so it will require less volume to give you a "large" look. 400 may be plenty. I recommend trying the sizers on with a soft bra in office in order to truly see and feel what suits your frame. Don't hesitate to book a consultation with another Plastic Surgeon if you haven't had the opportunity to do that.All the best!
