Saline Breast Implant Size Advice

Cup size is a fashion statement....and many people wear the wrong size bra. You have to have some faith in your surgeon with regard to size.

Having said that, by the height and weight you stated, I think you will certainly be in the full C range and maybe in the D range, depending on the bra manufacturer. There are many other factors that would have to be taken into consideration, which would require an exam before I could say much else.

Good luck.

Breast implant size is a very important issue to be discusssed with your plastic surgeon prior to surgery.  There are various measurements that your surgeon should take to help guide the decision making process.  The ultimate volume/size that you can become has more to do with your skin elasticity and soft tissues than your actual preference. Meaning, that although you may want to become a "D" cup for example, if your skin only can accommodate a "C" cup, then that will be your final size.

Patients can try on various sized implants in bras prior to surgery to get a general idea of how they may look. I prefer a more accurate method which uses 3D computerized imaging to show the patient what they may look like with a specific implant placed and imaged on their actual torso. This is very helpful for the patient in simulating their final outcome and takes alot of the guesswork out of which implant to choose. I have been using this for about six months now with great results.

The difference in size between 400 and 375 cc is not significant and I would highly doubt that this difference is clinically observable.  I would not risk the higher size if you are still unsure.  Remember, this experience should be fun and exciting, not stress-inducing.  You will be happy either way. 

It is not true that implants under the muscle look smaller, at least in the long run.  Most women wish they had gone a bit larger if asked a year or so after the operation.  If 375 was placed on one side and 400 on the other, you'd have to look very critically to see the difference.  Probably 400 cc will be your choice but I would reconsider silicone gel implants.  My patients much prefer them.

25 cc is not a significant difference, so don't kill yourself over it. You really would not see the difference. As for a natural looking breast, as stated, the moderate profile implants give you a much more natural shaped breast than the moderate plus or high profile.
So, depending on the shape you are looking for, the profile will determine that, and of course also make sure you are going under the muscle, as that adds to the "natural-ness" of the look.
Good luck.
