I’m 5’9”, about 150 lbs with a BW of 12cm. my PS recommend an implant no smaller than 450cc, possibly 500 or more, to achieve the look I’m going for. However, I’m looking for additional volume, not a chesty overload. I understand being tall plays a factor in this, however I have pre-existing stretch marks and don’t want to make those worse. I also have a professional job where I want to be able to put them away when I need to :)

Answer: BW and your implant So I never "recommend" an implant...the concept, IMO, is to match the width of the implant to the width of the woman. Then it is HER choice whether to pick low, medium, or high profile implants. In Allergan implants, a BW of 12 would get 445 cc in the Extra High Profile silicone implant...so I would be concerned that you are headed (as you put it) for chesty overload. Based on your tone I would guess more like the Medium profile wis what you might be looking for...Good Luck!

Answer: Is a 450CC implant too big for my body? Also concerned about additional stretch marks The best cosmetic result in any particular breast augmentation patient depends on a variety of factors, including: Your individual anatomy, desired outcome, realistic expectations, a thorough discussion with the plastic surgeon about the options, and an understanding of the pros and cons of any particular implant choice. Proper sizing is not just about the number of cc’s. or the type of implant. The thickness of your tissue, breast dimensions which include the width, height, and projection, as well as chest wall width all need to be considered when choosing an implant. Trying on implant “sizers” of various shapes and volumes while wearing a tight t-shirt, bra, or bathing suit at a preoperative visit will help you and your surgeon choose the optimal implant.
