My breast with measures 12 cm- pretty wide for my otherwise petite frame. I have sagging breasts (from nursing) and barely fit an A cup. A Mentor HP 375 cc silicone implant was chosen to properly contour/fit my frame, but I am now considering a Moderate + profile in 300 cc to give same width, but less obvious projection. 375 cc HP just looks so HUGE. Does anyone have pictures comparing the two profiles on starting stats similar to mine? Surgery is soon and I am afraid of making the wrong choice.

Answer: Breast augmentation, 300-375cc Hello and thank you for your question. You are a great candidate for a breast augmentation. If you are concerned that 375cc is too large, then you could select a smaller size. The size, profile, and shape of the implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G.

Answer: I am petite, 5’1, 115 lbs, but have a wide ribcage/chest width, 12 cm. Second-guessing 375 cc HP decision. Thoughts? (photos) Thank you for your question and photographs. I think you are starting from an excellent position and should anticipate a nice result. Breast implant selection is an exciting, but stressful part of the breast augmentation process as there are so many choices. Unfortunately it is impossible to recommend the best implant style, size or shape without an in-person examination that allows for the measurement of key breast parameters, as well as permits an in-depth discussion as to your desired goals and outcome. Based on your posts I would recommend continuing to work with your surgeon to address your concerns in order to select the best implants. Best wishes!
