Hello! I was hoping you could help me. I know i want implants around 310cc as I want a natural look and am very active. I don't want to regret going too big or not big enough. regarding placement, I don't want my boobs to have a big gap in the middle and am wondering based on my anatomy, is what I'm wanting applicable for me? I tried on sizers and liked the 310s, but am afraid it might not be enough once placed under the muscle?
Answer: Implants Your surgeon who has measured you will be the best one to tell you the range of sizes that best fits your frame. You still may have some gap because of your anatomy, especially with the implants placed behind the muscle. Just based on your photos, I would not recommend going larger than 310 cc's for you.

Answer: Choosing the right size and profile breast implants for you After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: Size Recommendations - 5’3, 115lbs 12 BWD Ms. Meghan, this is a question that we are asked frequently during our consultations. There is no 'correct' answer as each person has individual preferences and an overall comfort level for their body. That having been said, the ideal breast size is compatible with the general body structure of the person. From your photos, you are very fit but have a low starting volume. The issue is 'volume' and how to balance the shape and projection. As a general rule, it takes about 175-200 cc per cup size increase. So, a 300 cc implant would be expected to give you a one and a half cup increase. It may be that that is not enough. You have a diameter of 12 cm. So that fits with the Allergan 310, but have you tried other sizes? Such as the Mentor Mod Plus Xtra, which is also in the 12 cm range but with slightly more volume? The 325 cc has a diameter of 11.9 cm, while the 350 cc has a diameter of 12.3. I think you will benefit from the increased volume based on your starting point. But I also know that breast size is very personal. If you are still working on determining the size, I would ask you to try some of the newer sizes. 'Test drive' as many implants as you can. I believe that you will be very happy with whatever size you choose. Respectfully, Jules A Feledy, Jr, MD American Board of Plastic Surgery, American Society of Plastic Surgery

Answer: Mini lift with fat transfers or small implants If you are size 32 or 34, each 100 cc of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. If you are size 36 or 38, each 200 cc of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. From this, you can determine the size required to achieve your desired goal. In your photographs, you can see your nipple-areola complex is laterally displaced and you have very poor cleavage. The technique I recommend is a mini lift. Using a circumareola incision, your breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. At the same time, fat transfers or small implants can be placed totally submuscular.
