I am 22 years old, 5'3, 110 pounds with no children. I'm currently a 32A and really was hoping to maybe get 350cc but due to my body structure my plastic surgeon strongly recommended 325cc moderate profile silicone implants. I'm scared this will be to small..I just don't want to spend all this money and be disappointed. I don't want super huge boobs but I would like nice, perky, defined boobs for my frame :)
Answer: Breast Augmentation Thank you for your pictures and question. Your plastic surgeon had the benefit of an exam and the pictures you sent make assessment difficult. You do appear to be a good candidate for breast augmentation and there are sizers that can be used during surgery to determine if the 350 cc implant will fit properly. If the breast is too tight then your surgeon can have some smaller sizes available. Good luck!

Answer: Breast Implants Hi, thanks for your question on which implant size would be best for you. Right now it sounds like you’re considering 325cc. Since there is no way to say definitively over the internet which size would be optimal for you, take comfort in the fact that the surgeon uses your unique measurements and is able to provide you with a general range. In many cases the board certified plastic surgeon can best be your guide as they’ve met with you in person and heard your aesthetic goals. You may consider doing 3-D imaging; however with nearly all the breast cases we’ve performed, we’ve found patients enjoy doing a live “try on” session where they actually can “try on” the implant in a non-padded bra in our office. This does not give an exact measurement of outcome, rather it gives a nice idea of what to expect. For patients who desire a more natural look we like to recommend the shaped implant. For patients who desire a more full, voluptuous look we recommend a higher profile implant. And remember that all breasts have at least some amount of asymmetry (we like to say they’re like sisters and not twins). My very best to you. – Dr. Brian Coan
